Summer Photography Workshop 2010
ST PAUL St is proud to announce that internationally renowned photographers Paul Graham (UK, 1956) and Rineke Dijkstra (NL, 1959) will lead the 2010 Summer Photography Workshop at ST PAUL St Gallery, AUT School of Art and Design.
Paul Graham explores the fertile territory where the documentary and artistic aspects of photography coalesce, often tackling difficult subject matter for a medium that is firmly based in the observable world. He has exhibited extensively including at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and PS1 in New York and the Tate Gallery in London as well as having work in the 49th Venice Biennale (2001).
Rineke Dijkstra works in series, concentrating on individual portraits. She focuses on people in a transitional stage of their life, such as women after giving birth in 'Mothers', adolescents and pre-adolescents on the beach in her 'Beach' series and new recruits in 'Israeli Soldiers'. Dijsktra's photographs have appeared in numerous international exhibitions, including the 1997 and 2001 Venice Biennale, the 1998 Bienal de Sao Paulo, Turin's Biennale Internationale di Fotografia in 1999, and the 2003 International Center for Photography's Triennial of Photography and Video in New York.
The 2010 Summer Photography Workshop continues the tradition of workshops at the ST PAUL St Gallery co-odinated by the gallery and Harvey Benge. Previous workshops have been led by Peter Bialobrzeski, Antoine d'Agata, Lewis Baltz, André Lützen, Slavica Perkovic, John Gossage and Alec Soth.
Dates:
January 15, 16, and 17, 2010.

Manifesto
David Sinfield
18 - 24 January
Gallery Two
Manifesto involves audio recording and serigraphic printed posters documenting the personal stories of three people who have worked in employment where their pay has been below the national minimum wage.
Through a series of interviews David Sinfield has obtained their personal narratives and reasons why workers have been and are still forced to work below the minimum wage after it’s introduction in 1896 by Australia and New Zealand.
Manifesto represents the culmination of his research 'Under the Surface: reflections on workers narratives from below the minimum wage' for his Master of Art and Design.

'The corridor and foyer surrounding ST Paul St Gallery are by nature functional, charismatic even, in their low ambient industrial aesthetic, yet sit synonymously indivisible to the Gallery space.
As a springboard for individual exhibitors these outside-of-the-gallery-sites present a point of departure for artwork to examine its own polemical relationship to the space. As a collective catalyst these passageways, or suggestions of space, are survival compounds with their very own set of conditions- a precarious gesture in the tradition of framing.
Thus spaces, literally corridors and foyers, evoke this divergence between art works that unearth a proto-gallery environment and others that chime alongside the functional sensibility of the space.
Both employ the gestural status of the exhibition space as an entry point, the first activating and encompassing the entire context without discomfort, as a trajectory of the artists etiolated role. The latter a conscious appreciation of a more inward and intimate relationship to space.
Oscillating then between these viewpoints, work seeks to dissolve the passageway and foyer as an alternative to the gallery space and open up practices to an interplay alongside one another of how work might articulate an experience of space while seemingly transgressing it’s model of comprehension.'
The Sculpture Season
February 11 - May 1
Gallery Three
39 Symonds St
Thursday - Saturday 12 - 5 pm
This February ST PAUL St Gallery will launch a new program in Gallery Three, the Sculpture Season, exploring emerging sculptural practices in New Zealand. The 2010 Sculpture Season will illuminate a trajectory between two trends in sculptural engagement, on one end the laborious hand production of the sculptural object, and on the other, its dematerialisation. It will also investigate the ongoing practice or performance of research that informs contemporary art.
The 2010 Sculpture Season will present new work from ten early career Auckland artists over six exhibitions.
February 11 - 20: William Hsu
February 25 - March 6: Kah Bee Chow and Clara Chon
March 11 - 20: Carol Lee Honson and Tiffany Rewa Newrick
March 25 - April 3: Diane Atkinson
April 8 - 17: Museum of True History (MOTH ) and Erica van Zon
April 22 - May 1: Anthony Cribb
The Season will be accompanied by a catalogue incorporating an art work by Nick Spratt. The 2010 Sculpture Season is curated by Melissa Laing.
The 4th Auckland Triennial Last Ride in a Hot Air Balloon
12 March - 20 June, 2010
http://www.aucklandtriennial.com/
Located towards the end of a recent global economic recession, the 2010 Auckland Triennial explores the ongoing possibilities for risk and adventure in art. The exhibition uses the thematic territory of adventure as a cue to examine the capacity art has to still be broadly explorative of form, mind, body and vision, and does so alongside the traditional mode of geographic exploration with its hints of colonialism.
The Auckland Triennial is New Zealand’s leading international contemporary art exhibition with a full programme of new art works, performances, international speakers and forums spread over the Auckland CBD. Founded in 2000, the Auckland Triennial has a strong history of artistic and critical engagement. The 4th Auckland Triennial is curated by Natasha Conland.
The 4th Auckland Triennial is proudly presented by the Auckland Art Gallery in association with major partner AUT University, and exhibition partners ST PAUL St, Artspace and the George Fraser Gallery. The Auckland Triennial is supported by the Sue Fisher Art Trust, the Chartwell Trust, Creative New Zealand, the Patrons of the Triennial and the Art Five O Trust. It also receives support from international cultural agencies including the Danish Arts Council, Culture Ireland, the Asia NZ Foundation, the Goethe Institut and IFA.
