Have the Most Fun You Can Before They Make You Stop: A Retrospective of Carol Anne Bauer
27 May- 9 July
In this retrospective, a snapshot of Carol’s work is celebrated through her beginnings with exquisite stitchery through to her curious examination of amino acid crystals in large format.
Carol Anne Bauer had a fascination with light, pattern and narrative which drew her to explore and depict the natural world, magic, symbolism, cultural stories and scientific enquiry.
Our Moon: Then, Now & Beyond
20 May- 16 July
Our Moon has been a constant source of fascination for thousands of years all across the world. Our Moon: Then, Now & Beyond brings together a 5m diameter scale model of the Moon and explores the mythological, the scientific and cultural importance of our nearest neighbour and its role in marking Matariki.
Whānau activities and public programmes accompany this exhibition.
