CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

 

12 July - 24 August 2008


Angels and Demons is an exhibition of late 20th century New Zealand Neo-Expressionism which looks at the psychological battle of good and evil.  Each image expresses a variety of emotions, often working in opposition; exuberence, turmoil, tranquility and anxiety.  It features work from The Suter collection including paintings by Philippa Blair, Nigel Brown, Philip Clairmont, Peter Cleverley, Gary Colins, Kristin Hollis, Alexis Hunter and Jane Zusters.

 

19 July - 31 August 2008

ID Me is an exhibition that investigates concepts of identity in visual art that go beyond the portrait.

Early in 2008, Year 10 art classes visited a portrait exhibition at The Suter and then developed their own works that express identity in a range of media.  ID Me brings together the work of these students alongside examples of their visual mentors - established artists whose work has been used as a model or works by artists that use similar approaches.


 

25 July - 31 August 2008

A search for the human spirit in an uncertain world

Arum: a white room is a site-specific installation by Nelson based artist Anne Rush.  It is the culmination of more than two decades of full-time art practice and weaves together multiple strands from Anne's career.

Arum: a white room explores the relationship between shadow and light, memory and experience, loss and hope, and looks at emotional transitions in our lives.  Focussing on the symbol of the arum lily and using an entirely white palette, this exhibition creates a space of contemplation, reflection and interaction.




The Suter Friends Winter Lecture Series
is a much anticipated event on the local arts calendar.  This year the series expands on themes related to Anne Rush's exhibition arum: a white room.  Tickets will be available from late July at The Suter Reception.
