Auckland emerging artist Kate Newby exhibits in her first solo exhibition in a public art gallery, using both indoor and outdoor spaces at Te Tuhi.

Newby’s sculptures build on her ongoing enquiry into public sites, with a particular interest in the stacks of miscellaneous construction materials so often found in private residential spaces such as backyards, but which actually form part of the public's visual domain.

Her works are deliberately open-ended and whimsical, conceptualizing place as ‘not only a particular physical location, but also an idea and mental construction which captures and directs human relationships to the world’.

All exhibitions are currently offsite due to disruptions caused by the Pakuranga Eastern Busway construction. The building remains open for classes and other activities. 21 William Roberts Road, Pakuranga, is the best address to enter into navigation apps to guide you to the free parking at our door.
