Following a very successful tour of the Artists on Artists exhibition in 2023, we are delighted to offer you the opportunity to join us again for a personally guided tour of this year’s 2024 exhibition led by curator and exhibiting artist, Lindsey Horne.
Artists on Artists is a group portraiture show where each artist is the subject of another artist’s work – like links in a chain. The audience follows the artworks around the exhibition to see how each artist has painted, photographed and created work of another artist.
“In a regular group show, you wouldn’t normally collaborate this much with your fellow artists. With Artists on Artists, we’re sitting for each other, photographing one another, working together to create our pieces. It’s a strange feeling to have the tables turned. As an artist you’re so used to working with subjects, directing them, photographing them, painting them, observing them. Now you’re on the receiving end of that.” – Lindsey Horne
The exhibition features established and emerging artists from Aotearoa New Zealand, including: photographer Felix Jackson, zine artist Ali Pang / AAPPA-PAPPA, Molly Morpeth Canaday finalist Bonnie Wroe, Adam Portraiture Award finalist Waiāio Ngā Mōrehu Elkington, Mika Turnbull, A.J Manaaki Hope, Belinda Whitta, Robbie Motion, Lindsey Horne, Amit Dutta, Arie Hellendoorn and Javier Murcia.
