Never Mind The Pollocks
Project 2012-08-27 04:27:02 +1200
Never Mind The Pollocks is an evolving touring exhibition of male contemporary artists from/based in New Zealand. Ford's third curatorial project features artists who employ intellect, keen observation and a lightness of touch in their work. Their output suggests current shifts in the attitudes of, and toward, male artists and the way these artists now make and contextualise their work. The show is a response to these issues and, from curator James R Ford’s point of view, how he, as an artist now living in New Zealand, situates his own practice within these considerations.
Featuring a combination of fresh faces and well known names, all pushing their ideas in new and exciting ways, the tour includes Elliot Collins, Paul Cullen, Simon Esling, James R Ford, Arie Hellendoorn, Sean Kerr, Peter Madden, Richard Maloy, Linden Simmons and Wayne Youle.The line-up of artists and works exhibited varies along the way, with each space/location being responded to specifically.
Never Mind The Pollocks began at {Suite} Gallery in Wellington (Jan/Feb 2012), then travelled to PAULNACHE Gallery in Gisborne (4-26 May), and will finish at St Paul Street Gallery in Auckland (Nov/Dec 2012) .
Funding is required to produce a catalogue to mark the final exhibition taking place in November 2012. The publication will feature an commissioned essay, artist interviews and full colour reproductions of work by all artists involved.
