Each month Square Edge hosts artists’ exhibitions in our three beautiful gallery spaces. Exhibitions are accepted as part of a proposal process. If you are interested in exhibiting here at Square Edge please submit a proposal by the due date. Our team review submissions once a year and plan our yearly exhibition schedule. We accept proposals from artists in any media, are open to discussion, and love diversity! You can read about our process, what we offer and the costs involved, and view the online form here:
Asher, Clayton, Tui | SAY LESS, SEE MORE
A. R. Newbery, C. Tansley and T. Whareaitu are Pāmutana based Māori artists, museum infiltrators and friends.
We invite you to our first show together, SAY LESS, SEE MORE, a kaupapa driven collection of artworks gathered to interrogate the state of the government, the environment and the injustice visited upon our fellow tangata whenua around the world.
MISCELLANY ~ a mixture from the motu
Miscellany is a five-part collection of books from around Aotearoa. Two of the categories are collaborations between members of the Association of Hand Printers and the Association of Book Crafts. Bug Books 2022 and Fairy Tales 2023 gave the printers and binders free rein to interpret the themes as they wished. Miniature You Are Quoting Shakespeare books celebrate the 400th anniversary of the printing of the Bard’s First Folio and there are a few examples of the 2022 New From Old competition. Lastly, there are several entries from the inaugural John Sansom Memorial Competition.
All in all these books showcase the depth and breadth of the printing and binding crafts in Aotearoa.
Samuel Scully | Going West
Samuel Scully is an early career photographic artist based in Poneke / Wellington. Concerned with the world around him, Samuel aims to decipher the underlying rhythms that contribute to our shared understanding of lived experience. Primarily working within the modern tradition of ‘post documentary’ Samuel uses the interplay of subject and perspective to create new narratives in his long form photographic projects. Going West aims to act as a poetic reconstruction of the known rhythms of development in young men’s lives within rural Aotearoa / New Zealand.
