DAMDADI DA 담다디 다

Ilam Campus Gallery

Christchurch / NEW ZEALAND

A collaboration between Objectspace and The National, Curated by Caroline Biling and Andrea Du Chatenier.

Damdadi Da invites you to inhabit the worlds of Korean artists—some who stayed in Korea, others who moved to Auckland in the late 1990s and 2000s. More than an exhibition, it’s a chance to experience how art shapes attention, movement, and presence.

UNANCHORED LIGHT

JHANA MILLERS GALLERY

Wellington/ NEW ZEALAND

Unanchored Light reflects a life lived between places, where movement, memory, and the sky become a shared language. Suns, moons, and stars serve as symbols that are both universal and culturally distinct. These works explore how identity can drift, adapt, and take new forms. Light here is not fixed but shifting, carrying warmth, distance, and the quiet resonance of belonging in more than one world.

LEADING LIGHTS

MASTERWORKS GALLERY

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND

Lights have the capacity to transform a space but can also be a sculptural form in itself. Lighting can be both functional and also a ‘work of art’ in itself, self-illuminated.

- BEIGE

HUNTERS & COLLECTORS GALLERY

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND

‘Beige’, a little tongue in cheek but partly as it nods towards its original use in French to described undyed woollen fabric. The show coming together as contradiction to our colloquial senses on the over produced and under relished.
