Artist Talk: Peter Robinson with Felicity Milburn

Join artist Peter Robinson (Kāi Tahu) and lead curator Felicity Milburn for a conversation in the new exhibition, 'Peter Robinson: Charcoal Drawing'.

A roomful of industrial-scale beams folded into unexpected and compelling new forms.

In the crisp white cube of a gallery space, new structures emerge. Powder-coated aluminium beams are folded into strange new shapes, until their factory-finished uniformity gives way to something unexpected: fleeting, imperfect glimpses of the natural world.

Abandoning the monumental for something more open-ended, renowned Aotearoa New Zealand artist Peter Robinson (Kāi Tahu) plays with line, form and shadow to construct a spectacular, supersized installation that visitors can walk past, around and through.
