H x W x D, a Group Show by TheSeeHere

Opening Thursday 16th November 5–7pm

TheSeeHere is pleased to present H x W x D, a multi-artist exhibition of new work by: Vivien Atkinson, Becky Bliss, Pam Brabants, Sandy Connon, Mel Ford, Marilyn Jones, Greta Menzies, Sarah Read, Caroline Thomas, Nina van Duijnhoven and Tiahuia Venning.

The artists collaboratively run TheSeeHere window microgallery at 85 Ghuznee Street, Pōneke Wellington, where the viewer can access the work from the street alone. Throughout the year, they exhibit individually within the confines of the 1m-wide space.

In 2022, as part of Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of The Arts, they spread their collective wings in the spirit of the whakataukī whiria te tāngata – weaving or binding the people together – to show work sharing a common thread in their group show: textile/adjacent, first at Backroom Gallery, Wakefield St, Pōneke Wellington, then at Kingsroy Gallery in Ngāmotu New Plymouth. 

This year’s group venture has the members unfolding their work into the light and airy volume that is Newtown’s Twentysix Gallery. 

H x W x D is a standard way of writing the dimensions of a three-dimensional object. The size of Twentysix Gallery gives the artists an opportunity to push into space with larger works, and with this comes a fourth dimension – negotiating the boundaries of a group show, and considering the interaction and experience of the viewer. 

Expect to see inspiring objects in a variety of media in a welcoming and thought-provoking space.
