Mystery Work

Brydee Rood is a prolific installation, performance, and video artist. She graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the Elam School of Fine Arts (University of Auckland), where she focused on installation and sculptural practice. She has lived and worked in New Zealand, Germany, India, USA, Japan, The Netherlands and Mexico. These places, together with their inherent attitudes and patterns of consumption and materiality, have greatly influenced her visual practice, evidenced by numerous site-specific installation, performance, and video projects. Brydee's work deeply engages nature and ecology, questioning our human relationship with our environment, and poses alternative values in a constantly changing world.

Norrie Montgomery

Photography Exhibition

Each day, walls of emerald green waves crash upon the shores of Muruwai Beach. And most days, Auckland photographer Norrie Montgomery is waiting, lining up each shot with his 400m lens like a sniper. A dedicated and passionate professional photographer, Norrie is famous for his celebrity work. This is the first time his majestic surf shots are being showcased. Curated by his daughter, Olivia Montgomery, the collection will be displayed at the gorgeous Te Henga Studios.

John Perry

Kauri Gum: The Golden Resin from the Monarch of the Bush
A personal collection exploring the magic and wonder of kauri gum

John Perry has worn many hats in his lifetime in the arts: exhibiting artist, writer, museum curator, dealer, collaborator, and proprietor of the legendary Global Village Antiques in Helensville. But it is as a collector that John is able to give full expression to his inexhaustible range of interests, knowledge, and research. In October ART+OBJECT is pleased to offer items from John’s collection that encompass fine arts, applied arts, rare prints, folk art, and some items that are hard to categorise. Each item bears witness to John’s longstanding engagement with the arts and above all the Pacific psyche and New Zealand’s leading cultural practitioners.

Ekarasa Doblanovic

Ekarasa Doblanovic is a Italian/Croatian-born, New Zealand artist whose creative practice encompasses painting and installation with collaborative and participatory projects. Working internationally, Doblanovic’s works embody a strong sense of materiality, focusing on the tactile and haptic quality of colour and organic earth materials to heighten the sensation and affect of colour. Using pure pigments, she fabricates her own colours to activate a consideration of colour in its truest state as the primary voice of her works, above form and composition. Additionally, her work investigates the collaborative and participatory where notions of space, ecology, impermanence and human interactions are explored with the aim to create an empathetic interaction between people, art and nature.
