Resistance

Kit Dean and the Museum Archive

Art Centre Helensville
98 Mill Road, Helensville

10 May - 3 June 2023

Opening 5pm Friday 12 May

Part of the Auckland Festival of Photography

The Art Centre Helensville is temporarily based at Helensville Museum Te Awaroa. As a result we have been privileged to view art in a different context. Utilizing the Museum’s symbology and reflecting on preserved subject matter, has challenged the idea of how we approach and curate shows, significantly photography.

Local photographer Kit Dean’s practice is environmentally based with a focus on structure and space. Visual aspects of Dean’s work are consonant with the static nature of the Museum's photographic archives. These two projects will present ‘resistance’ thematically through the art of preservation and contemporary inclusion.

We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
We’ve partnered with Press Patron to give readers the opportunity to support PhotoForum Online.
