New Zealand Objects
New Zealand Objects
Our gallery space is situated in a
part of the country that is generally considered the real
N.Z. We are not really a collective, but should be
considered a Post-studio gallery whose projects relate to
this question: Does specialization in the N.Z. economy
produce a need to create a work of art outside studio-based
methods of production?
Mostly these “round-ups” concern the goings on of higher thought in Hamilton. They should interest anyone following any University produced minds producing Art-works. The year was as follows:

Winter. It’s a document of
an art-work in the form of a book. 81 copies only and in
full colour. It’s a bit like “Hänsel und Gretel.” The
comment is from a reader and his wife in the main street.
They seemed quite concerned about the difficulty of the
art-work.

Still winter.
The art-work gets another run on the web-page. It’s my
in-laws favourite look. The thought’s around the town
turned to egalitarianism. My own were about the “Classless
Society”.

Winter, but a
sunny day. These ‘Control Objects’ are arranged in
mock-installation. The dialogue is from around the bar scene
…

Bright day. This
object is a trip to the north of the region and gives a
feeling of what is worth remembering. I won’t get into
what I consider the material here. The form incorporates a
photographic construction into my creative process. It is
dominant.

Wind day and
overcast. Photographic objects. Plural sculpture. Drawings.
All created to expand
the Western canon of Fine Art and
conquer the marketing industry’s perception of artistic
practices worldwide. The main street talk was full of
foreign voices and necessity. I remember the time I first
saw a camera.

Rain.
Second book the gallery has put together. Vague religious
reference. It’s something unable to be expressed. Ancient
greek scholars where seen around the town. The topic is
evident from the dialogue on the gallery’s page.
Monday, August 17, 2009
More rain. Third book of
photographs and a product of a trip north. Socialist feeling
is a vague discovery I expected to find here. The dialogue
is from a friend in Wellington. It may or may not be true.
Monday, August 24, 2009
Rain. Low light. Fishing
rod construction. These forms mark out movement when
installed. Their sister objects are absent. The dialogue is
a question from a coffee break.

Rain. Autumn. Bookmark. Comments were sent in from
Malaya. The gallery has fans most places. Mostly it’s due
to the specific and descriptive name. The book is background
research toward constructing an alternative electoral
system. It is to take the form of an object-based artistic
machine.

Summer. Stills
from a video art-work called: “The Black Lands”. These
objects further the photographic constructions dominance in
my creative process. More dialogue from the café scene at
the University. The video takes place in a number of places.
Only one is shown in the listings page.

Sun. This ‘Control Object’ was
found lying around the semi-domestic area of the gallery.
The photographic form collects the nature of the material.
Mostly language-based, the object’s function is to grow
vegetables. It’s appearance suggests a sci-fi setting. I
believe dada has made it. No dialogue of note from the bar
scene …

Cloudy. Six
‘Control Objects’. Metaphor suggests there are two
socio-Economic Information units present. The rest are
immigrants. The previous week has shown the influence of my
Political writings. The town is largely filled with rain and
less foreigners than I am used to.

Sun. An appendix to producing the sculptural
objects in “The Black Lands” video art-work. The
dialogue is further discussion on the topic of Foreign
Policy. It is from the café scene as well.
Monday,
November 16, 2009
Wind. Cloud. The photographic object is
made to resemble a supplement. The dialogue is another
example of discussion between Ancient greeks.
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Sun. This three
dimensional form holds a function that has been expanded.
The photographic form aims to collect what the photographic
device sees.
