One week to go for all City Gallery Wellington exhibitions

Only one week remains at City Gallery Wellington before all the current exhibitions come to a close on January 16. With a number of shows, and work ranging from video installation, to contemporary jewellery, to textile work, to sculpture, there is something for everyone to see. The Gallery is open from 10am to 5pm every day and all exhibitions are free.

The current exhibition in the main gallery spaces is roundabout. Drawn from the comprehensive collection of David Teplitzky and Peggy Scott, roundabout includes art work from around the world. The show gives audiences a rare opportunity to see contemporary art from as far afield as Bhutan, Nepal, Israel and China.

Upstairs, the Deane Gallery is hosting the work of indigenous Aboriginal artist Tony Albert, whose confrontational wall work PAY ATTENTION exhorts the viewer to look closely at the fraught topic of race relations in Australia.

In the Hirschfeld Gallery is Karl Fritsch’s stunning exhibition Scenes from the Munich Diamond Disaster. Fritsch is an Island Bay-based jeweller whose work combines both precious and everyday materials. This exhibition features over 300 hundred of his unique rings.

City Gallery Wellington will be closed for two weeks from 17 January to 29 January while a new suite of exciting exhibitions are installed.

Nikau café will remain open during this time and SQUARE2, the Gallery’s 24-hour screening space for contemporary video art, will continue to show Amy Howden-Chapman’s new video work Drain Lake Project from 16 January to 13 March.
