Jane Venis | A Little Bit of Pāua Goes a Long Way | June 6th - June 28th.

 

Jane Venis is an artist, musician, luthier of bespoke instruments, an academic and an educator. Her practice inhabits the intersection between visual arts, sound and live performance. Jane frequently collaborates with others notably long time collaborator, Dunedin artist, Hannah Joynt.

 

Jane's work has immediate appeal, is packed with whimsy and fun while also engaging in brave commentary on political and environmental themes. In this exhibition Jane repurposes refuse and brings this together with treasure and trinket to create a colourful and furry band of truly bespoke instruments.
