TIME: 11 am - 4pm Tuesday to Saturday
LOCATION: 1 Spring Street, RED SQUARE, Tauranga

The Exhibition CONTAINED is open at 1 Spring Street, RED SQUARE, Tauranga.

Open from 11 am - 4pm Tuesday to Saturday 

The Exhibition will close June 10, 2022.

A powerful exhibition of paintings exploring the relationship between the containers at the Port of Tauranga and our own contained spaces during the Covid pandemic ‘Lockdown’.Over several years this local artist has documented what she calls ‘container arrangements’ photographically and has led Blackley to appreciate their visual arrangements in colour, structure, pattern and form.

 During Lockdown, Blackey began a series of paintings from her photographic collection with the objective to demonstrate that these are iconic visual trademarks of our local landscape. Then it occurred to her that we were all confined in our own individual boxes with our emotions and so the concept of containment expanded.

 These works of art could be considered as an historical commentary of ‘Our Place’ in time, as we climb out of our emotionally contained spaces and venture again into everyday life.
