Living Space is a collaborative project between Simon Morris and Brenda Sullivan. Both artists share a common critical interest in abstraction, painting, architecture, furniture and the relationships navigated by constructed and obstructed space. Morris's practice ranges from object oriented paintings to site-responsive wall drawings and site-specific installations. For this project he has produced a range of furniture in its natural and subtle monochromatic colouring, all constructed by the artist with self-imposed restraints of scale and mathematic methods that result in zero waste of source material. Sullivan responds to this through abstract wall painting in a single colour that uses the same relation to measurements but generated by the gallery to exalt the quieter aspects of the space.

Ways of Looking consists of three coin operated aluminium machines containing text-based artworks. The units resemble an ATM or vending machine, causing the viewer to recall the behaviour associated with using these interfaces. Twenty seconds of access to the content will cost twenty cents. By paying, the viewer enters into an exchange with the unit and is prompted to make an immediate and conscious judgment of value.

Sheilah Wilson’s project engages the history of the Berry and Co. building, in which Enjoy Gallery is housed. In the 1990s while the building was undergoing renovations, a previously unknown collection of negatives dating from the early 20th Century was found in the attic. These slides are now in Te Papa’s collection and the negatives hold images of WWI era soldiers and families posing for portraits against the stylized backdrops that were popular at the time. 

Rakau Matarau is an exhibition of works on paper and cardboard combining both 2D and 3D forms. The artist blends customary Māori art forms with tattoo and graffiti style influence, representing young Māori who identify with both Māori and metropolitan culture. 

Enjoy Public Art Gallery is very excited to announce a major installation by Yona Lee. Drawing from previous works where the artist utilized steel rods to explore formal ideas relating to line and space, Tangential Structures is a work that incorporates an impossible dichotomy. Steel rods cast in such a way as to evoke movement and fluidity hang from the ceiling at Enjoy, loosely flung over rafter beams and looping playfully through the space. The very temporary gestures – careless loops, waves, curls and hooks – are at odds with the cold, hard qualities of steel, creating contradictory material behavior that behaves improperly to the forces of gravity and logic.

"If worries were things, like worms for example, I expect they would burrow right into you; make convoluted routes through and within the digestive system; sometimes crossing and colliding with one another, sometimes not."

Resonance is a solo exhibition at Enjoy Gallery presented by sonic artist and composer, Rose James. 

The concept of Te Whare Pora embodies the idea of a house of learning and is customarily a space for obtaining knowledge pertaining to fibre arts, primarily weaving. The atua of Te Whare Pora is Hineteiwaiwa who holds authority over the arts pursued by women. Over their residency, the artists are interested in engaging with Te Whare Pora from a contemporary perspective and will be using new media to signify its importance within the 21st Century, creating work by extracting and distilling signifiers of the wharenui experience. 

Ménage à Trois is an exhibition exchange between three artist‐run gallery spaces in the Asia Pacific region: Enjoy Public Art Gallery (NZ), XYZ Collective (JP) and TCB artinc (AUS).

Sometime later explores an interest in how an art work can exist as myth or ritual. By delving into a very sited act, such as a pilgrimage to a monument, Baxter’s work investigates the function of our own investment into the notion of the ‘significant moment’.

For the exhibition What Would I Do Without You, Betham employs the medium of video to explore contemporary notions of spirituality and nihilism in a poetic and absurd fashion. The films rehearse contemporary rituals or ad hoc games performed in sporting arenas. These games are original attempts at spontaneous questing—for the moment of fulfillment—in a post-nihilist or neo-transcendental manner.

Featuring three moving image practitioners, this exhibition at Enjoy brings the work of Manukau Institute of Technology graduates to Wellington. Here, each of the artists enact, articulate and sometimes question social and cultural protocols that are specific to their own perspectives and experiences.

Featuring artists from New Zealand, Mexico, Palestine and Australia, Was that cannon fire, or is it my heart pounding? is a collection of videos, photographs, sculptures and installations that explores the interplay between art and cinema.

Everything is perfect and as it should be. If I could be more pleased, this would be a perfect increase in pleasure. It would result from further elements slotting into place, and the realisation that this now was as it had always been intended.  

Lance Cash's digital photographic works seek to explore ideas of dislocation, representation and mediation with strong ethical and environmental concerns framing the content. The exploration of these ideas and concerns seeks to raise questions about the ontology of photographic representation, practices of viewing and established relationships to the assumed real world.

Blending scientific enquiry, philosophic thought and everyday lived experience, Illuminated investigates the New Zealand terrain and landscape. Using recycled glass, the artist connects this work to the tangible matter of everyday life. Robertson's practice has long been involved with issues surrounding natural and imposed features in the landscape, Illuminated forms a response to the patterns that are formed by built structures of domestic life and the architectures of our day to day existence.

Exploring the tensions between live performance and the documentation of the event that follows, Ephemeral Traces is a 2 week schedule of performances and recordings at Enjoy Public Art Gallery.

Featuring a dozen international and New Zealand-based artists the show is an exploration of the Chinese Zodiac. Guest curated by Erica van Zon, the twelve contributing artists have been asked to consider and respond to their zodiac sign. The result is an eclectic range of work in various media that is both engaging and playful.
