Exhibition Opening - Richard Reddaway - The Body of The Work

Richard Reddaway – the body of the work/it does no harm to wonder.
Exhibition Opening: Friday, 22 November, 5:30pm

Guest speaker: Prof Huhana Smith

The body of the work / it does no harm to wonder looks back over 30 years of Richard Reddaway's art practice, revealing work made in relation to the Anti-Springbok Tour protests, the economic reforms of the Fourth Labour Government and subsequent social and cultural upheavals. Reddaway has exhibited his sculptural installations across New Zealand and internationally (Australia, Perú, Spain, The Netherlands, USA), and has produced the first significant showing of New Zealand art in Mexico. He teaches at Massey University Whiti-o-Rehua School of Art, Wellington.

This survey exhibition includes sculpture from the mid-1980s, photomontages from the 1990s, recent sculptural objects, new collaborative work, and fantastical work created with Wairarapa Embroiderers Guild, Henley Mens Shed, Wairarapa Spinners and Weavers Guild.

Students from Douglas Park School are also working on the project.
