9 March - 7 April

Contemplation#2 is a touring exhibition of the artist Marie E. Potter. Running alopngside UsNow, it is a multi-faceted exhibition with which Marie Potter will explore N.Z.'s cultural and social traditions. With her collection and recontextualisation of objects, she not only interrogates the culture and experience of this country's early European settlers, but also the status of their everyday objects as well as  the presence and physical material qualities of these artefacts that are now loaded with history.

Remake: Emerging Artists is an exhibition dedicated to the way artists make one thing into another: the transformational act, whether that be material or concept-based.

From remaking fizzy drink bottles (Anya Mowll) and cable ties (Andi Regan) to a pranged car bonnet (William Hunt) to remaking the tenets of sculpture (Sharon Painter-Arps) and Still Life (Nicola Hansby), this is an exhibition to spend time in - take a walk through an album of images...

E. Mervyn Taylor: A Tribute. 12 January - 3 February.

This is an historic exhibition of work by past Academy and leading New Zealand artist E. Mervyn Taylor (1906 - 1964). It pays tribute not only to Taylor's association with the Academy, but also his contribution to New Zealand art and design.

Taylor is internationally recognised for his wood engravings in particular. He also produced linocuts (some in multiple colours), watercolours and sculpture and the exhibition presents a cross-section of works from his oeuvre.
