Young Members | Field Trip Te Tuhi Parnell Studios
Young Members | Field Trip Te Tuhi Parnell Studios

6pm–8pm

Members $17 (+ fees) Buy tickets

Come on a field trip to Te Tuhi Studios in the heritage Parnell Station building. Visit the studio of Tira Walsh (Ngāti Wairere, Ngāti Hauā, Tainui) to hear more about the making of the work Urbanize III, 2023 commissioned for Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, and her wider painting practice.

Following the studio visit we will meet the Melbourne-based artist Jacqueline Stojanović and see her first exhibition in Aotearoa at Chez Derriere, in the Parnell Project Space. Chez Derriere is the project of Felixe Laing, the current Te Tuhi curatorial intern. There will be drinks and snacks and the opportunity to meet and mingle with other artists from Te Tuhi Studios.

This event is part of our Young Members event programme, for the bold and curious under 40s (and young at heart). Drinks supplied by our partner, Almighty.

Masters of Light, 1700s to Now

Wed 31 May 10.30-12.30pm

This lecture series explores how light takes centre stage in critically acclaimed paintings, sculptures, photographs, films and installations by ground-breaking artists through the centuries. Note: This lecture will be repeated on Wed 31 May, 10.30-12.30am. Ticket holders can choose which day to attend. 

Day 1 focuses on historical European art and Day 2 on modern and contemporary art, incorporating an Indigenous lens. Presented by four passionate art and design scholars, this series accompanying our current Light from Tate: 1700s to Now exhibition is not to be missed.
