Niu Warrior. Casula Powerhouse Museum, Sydney.

Following on from the success of Body Pacifica in 2010, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre is proud to present Niu Warrior. The Niu Warrior program is composed of exhibitions, performances, workshops and special events created by a selection of artists from the Pacific Rim.
Niu Warrior identifies these artists as ‘modern warriors’, using art to promote inter-personal and cross-cultural understanding, reconciliation, bravery and leadership. Modern warriors stand in direct contrast to behaviours of violence, alienation, colonialism and racism.

Exhibitions include:

Noble Savage – Greg Semu, photography and exploration of the warrior. Marsden Gallery.

Niu Pasifik Warriors – 50 Artists works from the Pacific rim. Curated by Giles Peterson. Giles shares with us his Pacific rim collection which he has travelled throughout the Pacific and America. This exhibition expands on Giles exhibition ‘Niu Pasifik’ idea and combines another level of curatorial by now looking at these artists as ‘Niu Warriors’. Switch Gallery.

See website for full listing.

Up and Under: The art of rugby
3 September – 29 October, 2011.

Includes Lina Marsh, Chris Van Doren and Sheyne
Tuffery, LeSa Gallery, Petone

Up and Under: the art of rugby is the title that Sheyne Tuffery has given to an exhibition which has just opened at his LeSa Gallery in Petone.

He says that this is a great opportunity to make work about a current hot topic. It is an exhibition of small to medium framed and unframed paintings; works on sculptural pieces, all paper and small based on the concept of (arguably?) our national game and includes work by Gisborne based Lina Marsh, together with Chris Van Doren
and Sheyne Tuffery who are both based in Wellington.

Opening Thursday 8 Sept, 6pm – September 25 at 5pm, 2011.
Helen Gory Galerie is excited to be showing in Sydney, Australia,
with 6 artists.

United by a sense of contrast and contradiction, each artist interrogates and processes their surroundings, weaving their way through history and folklore to explore notions of identity and power.

Lorene Taurerewa, Chris Aerfeldt, Abbey Mcculloch
Tim Moore, Jacqui Stockdale, Carmel Seymour.
