“I seek to give evidence to ideas, activity and sensation in a world of complexity and ambiguity.” Pauline Rhodes
CoCA is proud to present Pauline Rhodes twelfth solo exhibition at the gallery and the first post-quake.
Time Ongoing plays with notions of environment and place, material, ecology, and time, settling new site-specific works alongside a newly-digitised archive of documentation spanning four decades.
Rhodes has been exhibited extensively throughout New Zealand in galleries, museums and events such as: Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington; Christchurch Art Gallery; ST PAUL St Gallery, Auckland; 2015 SCAPE Biennial, Christchurch; Adam Art Gallery, Wellington; Wellington City Art Gallery, Auckland Art Gallery, Sarjeant Gallery, Whanganui.
