The photographs of Laurence Aberhart reflect the rush and flow of time. This exhibition brings together works by this eminent New Zealand photographer dating from the 1970s to the present including a selection of works from The Maori churches of Northland and his ongoing series Last Light, among others.
James Newitt is interested in the experience of place and memory, taking us hitch-hiking through frosty hinterlands in Arberg Bay and looking for echoes of the Saturday night dances once held at Koonya Hall, on the Tasman Peninsula. Based in Hobart, Newitt recently completed his doctorate at the Tasmanian School of Art, his work also features in this year's Adelaide Biennial.
