Having recently relocated to Wellington, Ford's first engagement with New Zealand audiences rests between two locales. Obsession; humor; failure; play; repetition; boredom: Ford delves into the activities and influences of his '80s childhood as a way of both embarking, and staying-put. "Kia-Ora," as the historically-rooted but culturally de-contextualised British softdrink proclaims, beckoning both a greeting and parting note at once.

With a 'found' parachute, two paintings, an expanse of cassette tape innards and a hand-embroidered rug, Dove tail joint presents a collision between seemingly disparate objects, a variety of processes, and pop-cultural references.

Showing both prototypes and working sculptures at Enjoy, Nicholls presents sound energy from a visual perspective - to see what we can't hear. In this way his works are visual amplifiers.

"Once regarded at the most notorious slum area in New Zealand," Wellington historian Lynette Shum notes, "Haining Street today is an industrial area that bears little indication of its sensationalist past."(1) As the centre of Wellington's Chinatown from the late 1800s-1940s, it also bore witness to the one of the most violent episodes in Chinese New Zealand history, when Englishman Lionel Terry shot dead Joe Kum Yung outside number 13 in 1905 as a protest against Chinese immigration into the country. Kah Bee Chow's ONE DAY SCULPTURE, which occured on Sunday 31 August, is sited opposite this spot at number 10 Haining Street.

The walls of urban space both reveal and conceal the detritus of the city as excess matter is stuffed into cracks and merged into the architecture. Bus tickets are forced to lie between seats. Receipts and miscellany are trodden into cracks in the pavement. This matter is framed by its environment and remains part of a larger composition.

Orientated by architecture, Leading to Form explored relationships between bodies and structure. The work focused on the way a body senses in rhythms, textures, layers and juxtapositions that defy strict organisation. Willson and Rose are interested in this interaction; "physical and poetic encounters leave an imprint, a trace, always deferred, always leading to another moment."

Presenting both contemporary New Zealand and German photography, About Face critiqued historical and contemporary conventional ideas of truth in portraiture and set up questions about what the photograph can convey about the subject. This group show presented an array of approaches to contemporary photographic portraiture and was also a varied presentation of contemporary subjects.
