UPCOMING EXHIBITION
July 4th-July 26th
Katharina Jaeger | Shannon Williamson
Host
The dynamic between pīpīwharauroa and riroriro can be seen as a poignant metaphor
for the histories that shape the places we inhabit. Taking its name from this precarious
relationship, HOST draws on Jaeger and Williamson’s shared love of assemblage and
abstracted anatomy to investigate the mutability of their own stories of place. United by a reverence for drawing and a desire to press at its boundaries HOST sees Jaeger and Williamson abstract and reassemble fragments from their respective environments to construct disquieting meditations on the ways we relate to thestructures which sustains us; the land, architecture, object, body and story.
From works on paper to sculpture, Jaeger and Williamson use drawing as a means of
excavating memory and building connection. Through travelling, collecting, recounting
and assembling the artists embrace conventional and expanded-field disciplines of
drawing to articulate the mental maps and stories we build as we navigate this complex
environment.
