Karin van Roosmalen's work was about space and spaces—how we inhabit our built environments, about the effects of our mobile lives on those environments and about the tension between functioning effectively in the world with minimal means and the compulsion to accumulate stuff.

Summer Residency #6

Fjærestad's work references everyday life, and her sensitivity to social and cultural interactions, played out through the materials and techniques she uses. In a previous exhibition she wowed audiences by crocheting fuse wire into the forms of 1980's and 1990's middle class, domestic appliances.

Satellite City

Dominic Forde, Douglas Kelaher, Rachel Brunton

17 Sep – 5 Oct 2002
2002

Exploring urban landscapes and their populace is the subject of this exhibition curated by Rosemary Ford of the Physics Room (Christchurch). Although at first the work by artists Douglas Kelaher, Dominic Forde and Rachel Brunton may seem disparate, on closer inspection they work well together. Each piece suggests a different kind of society, fantastical, contemporaneous or futuristic, breaking away from the overwhelming dominance of the rural landscape in New Zealand art practice.
