Kāryn Taylor Future Philosophies

Paperback book, 60 pages | $25

Kāryn Taylor Future Philosophies is a catalogue publication documenting the exhibition Future Philosophies - a public exhibition at the Suter Gallery, Te Aratoi o Whakatu, Nelson, New Zealand featuring the work of contemporary artist Kāryn Taylor June 18th - September 10th 2023.

The catalogue includes an introduction by curator Dr Kyla Mackenzie, and essays by art historian Edward Hanfling and curator and Director of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre, Ngāmotu, Dr Zara Stanhope.

'Kāryn Taylor uses light, colour and geometry to express the hidden workings of the universe. She questions our ideas around space, time and what we consider as tangible reality. In quantum physics it is suggested that our observation shifts energy into physical matter and that our experience of reality is determined by this interaction. Taylor plays with relationships between paint, projected light and shade, luminous colour, the viewer, and the gallery space, exploring ambiguous relationships between the immaterial and material.'

As You Will

Hardcover book, 142 pages, $50

A mesmerising and often poignant meditation on technological obsolescence,

small-town politics and contradictory ideas of progress’.
– Charles Walker, Professor of Architecture, AUT

In her new book, As You Will: Carnegie Libraries of the South Pacific, artist Mickey Smith documents the historic legacy of 23 Carnegie Libraries erected across the South Pacific, including 18 in Aotearoa New Zealand. These were named after the successful Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, whose philanthropic trust established 2,509 library buildings throughout the English-speaking world between 1886 and 1917.

Featuring 47 original full-colour photographs as well as 23 historic images, and short texts by AUT Professor of Architecture, Charles Walker and Te Tuhi Artistic Director, Gabriela Salgado, this publication is a memorial to the Carnegie legacy, capturing a philanthropic project in decline.
