Pride in Pulse
The celebration of Pride in our community rolls over into March, and we’ve been beyond delighted to welcome some of the original members of PulseArt with a selected retrospective of their work. For 24 years, PulseArt has been proudly asserting the group’s lesbian identity through their art. This exhibition, titled Pride in Pulse, honours the wonderful Beth Hudson who passed away in 2020, and PulseArt has regrouped to remember her and to celebrate the longevity and future of the group.

Also sharing Pride of place is our new friend and ceramicist, Paul Herbert whose hand-built works exhibit elegance, intellect and humour. His work reflects the natural world and human interaction with it.

DEPOT Artspace - New Principles
Saturday, 23 March - Saturday, 4 May

Opening: Saturday 23 March, 2pm-4pm

Our second exhibition of 2024 showcases contemporary New Zealand studio furniture. Featuring Alex Guthrie, Emile Drescher, Jeremy Evison, Josephine Jelich, Raimana Jones and Ted Synnott, this exhibition will showcase highly resolved and intensively crafted work in a time of easily accessed mass-produced furniture.
This exhibition brings furniture into the public eye not as accessories to a room, but as a highlight. In embracing the high level of craftsmanship that has been developed to create each piece, New Principles elevates furniture to objects of fine art.
