Suspended

SUSPENDED began with playful envy of a baby looking up at their mobile and seeing only delight. Of swirling shapes and giggles. Of colours and shapes spinning above their head.

Why should only babies have the delight of looking up?

Built from this underpinning, the artists absorbed the idea of hanging works into their own practices and emerged with works that live beyond the walls. An experience not dragged down by hyper-theory but in formalist ambition of colour and delight. Look up. Twist. Spin. In your navigation of the gallery, of the work, shifting with their bodies.

Ahsin Ahsin, Monique Barnett, BEMODERN, Tui Emma Gillies & Sulieti Fieme’a Burrows, Janna van Hasselt, Turumeke
Harrington, Lindsey Horne, Brooke Mallinger, Hanna Shim and Jenny Zhong come together from across Aotearoa to create a
body of art with its feet off the ground.
