SUMMARY:Touchstones | Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Yvonne Rust Gallery to celebrate the opening of Touchstones exhibition; a collection of ceramic arts by a collective of local women artists.\n\nTouchstones explores how creativity persists amid the distractions of daily life\, particularly the invisible labour and mental load often carried by women.

The toi aute made by Nikau and the youth are currently part of ‘High Colour’ at the Gallery of New South Wales\, Sydney. Between 2023-2024 Hindin lead two major projects for ‘Ten Thousand Suns’ 24th Biennale of Sydney\, including Badu Gili: Celestial\, featuring Hindin’s toi aute animated and projected onto the Sydney Opera House with soundscape by Te Kahureremoa Tiopira Taumata and Te Kuru o te Marama Dewes. The 35th Bienal De São Paulo commissioned Ngā Whetū Maiangi\, an ensemble of 13 star maps and the aute quilt presented here\, for ‘Choreographies Of The Impossible’\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Tai Timu\, Tai Pari | Artist Exhibition: Nikau Hindin | Wairau Māori Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:‘Nikau Hindin: Tai Timu\, Tai Pari’; an immersive exhibition of Nikau’s aute practice that reveals her processes\, rhythms\, and whakaaro within the work.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening night: Friday 5 December 2025\, 6pm\n\nExhibition runs: December 6 — March 29\nWairau Māori Art Gallery\n2 Quayside\, Town Basin\n\n\n\n\n(Free) artist talk: Saturday 6 December\, 11:30am\n\n\n\nNikau Hindin (Ngāpuhi\, Te Rarawa) is a cloth maker\, kiriaute\, who has been deeply engaged in the renewal of Māori aute (bark cloth). Her practice\, grounded by wānanga\, is devoted to sharing our cosmologies within and beyond aute. \nTai Timu Tai Pari presents over a decade of practice\, research and refinement in the intensive and iterative process of aute making. It follows not only the phases of transformation of the fibre\, weu\, but of the kiriaute themselves\, and the processes that emerge out of a deep commitment to past and future generations. \nNikau’s work has been exhibited widely\, recently included in Fondation Cartier’s collection presentation\, ‘Exposition Générale’ at their new gallery Fondation Cartier Pour l’art contemporain\, Paris. ‘Djamu Aute’\, a 12 month intensive aute wānanga at Frank Baxter Youth Justice Centre\, was co-facilitated by Wesley Shaw\, Atarangi Anderson and Te Kuru o te Marama Dewes and the Gallery of New South Wales Indigenous public programs team. The toi aute made by Nikau and the youth are currently part of ‘High Colour’ at the Gallery of New South Wales\, Sydney. Between 2023-2024 Hindin lead two major projects for ‘Ten Thousand Suns’ 24th Biennale of Sydney\, including Badu Gili: Celestial\, featuring Hindin’s toi aute animated and projected onto the Sydney Opera House with soundscape by Te Kahureremoa Tiopira Taumata and Te Kuru o te Marama Dewes. The 35th Bienal De São Paulo commissioned Ngā Whetū Maiangi\, an ensemble of 13 star maps and the aute quilt presented here\, for ‘Choreographies Of The Impossible’\, 2023. Commissioned by Haus der Kulturen der Welt\, Berlin\, Nikau made 100 manu aute for their inaugural exhibition O Quilombismo\, Of Resisting and Insisting. Of Flight as Fight. Of Other Democratic Egalitarian Political Philosophies. Other noteworthy presentations include the Kathmandu Triennale (2022)\, Aichi Triennale (2022) and works included in major institutions; Winnipeg Art Gallery–Qaumajuq\, Winnipeg\, Mackenzie Art Gallery\, Regina\, and Para Site\, Hong Kong.

SUMMARY:Pioneers | Exhibition by Chris Brady | Shutter Room
DESCRIPTION:Pioneers: An exhibition by Chris BradyOpening night 10th October 5 – 7pm \n\n\nPlease join us to celebrate the opening of Pioneers\, An exhibition by Chris Brady. \n\n\nPioneers\, explores the idea of pioneering in both human and natural worlds. Through sculpture\, installation\, and photography\, the exhibition draws connections between human expansion and the quiet persistence of plants that reclaim and restore damaged landscapes. \n\n\nHumans have long celebrated the pioneer spirit — settling new lands\, shaping environments\, and leaving lasting marks on culture and ecology. Yet\, nature has its own pioneers: weeds and wild species that move into barren spaces\, regenerating soil and life where it has been stripped away. \n\n\nPioneers reflects on these dual narratives\, highlighting the tension between human ambition and ecological resilience. It invites audiences to rethink what it means to be a pioneer today\, consider nature’s restorative power\, and explore how we might live and create in ways that are sustainable and in balance. \n\n\nFull Exhibition dates: 11 October – 1 November 2025 \n\nFor media enquiries\, interviews\, or images\, please contact Chris Brady\n\nStay tuned to more Beagles promoted local events here

SUMMARY:I felt like some watcher\, divining skies | Jamie Chapman & Hayley Theyers Exhibition @ Hangar Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Jamie Chapman presents a series of intimate paintings while Hayley Theyers exhibits a collection of Surrealist photographs. Exhibition at Hangar Gallery\, Whangarei. \n‘I felt like some watcher\, divining skies’ Exhibition opening preview night at Hangar Gallery 5:30-8pm Friday 26th September 2025 \nFull exhibition dates 26/09/25 – 24/10/25 \nFacebook Event Page \nHangar Gallery Website Event Page \nStay tuned to more of  Beagle’s favourite local events here \n  \n\nJamie Chapman is a contemporary painter based in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland\, New Zealand. Born in the United Kingdom\, his family moved to Whangārei when he was about two years old\, and that early life in Northland has informed much of his artistic sensibility. (jamiechapman.co.nz) \nAfter high school in Whangārei\, Chapman pursued studies at Whitecliffe College of Arts & Design in Auckland\, later completing both a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) and a Master of Fine Arts at Elam School of Fine Arts\, University of Auckland. (foenandergalleries.co.nz) \nChapman’s painting practice lives at the intersection of figurative oil painting and image-based media. He draws inspiration from both photographic and filmic modes—altering source images via cropping\, shifts in colour\, reframing\, and other transformations—and uses these tools to question how we see and understand pictures in a contemporary world. (foenandergalleries.co.nz) \nHe is known for several “series” of works: portraits\, self-portraits\, and explorations of mood\, atmosphere\, and altered vision. His recent works show a loosened brushstroke\, more expressive colour\, and a willingness to surprise both himself and his audience. (creativematters.co.nz) \nJamie Chapman has won a number of recognitions\, including the Joe Raynes Scholarship (University of Auckland\, 2012) and the National Youth Art Award (ArtsPost\, Hamilton\, 2013). His works are held in public collections\, including the Wallace Arts Trust. \n  \n\nHayley Theyers is a photographic artist based in Auckland\, Aotearoa New Zealand. Her work inhabits the borderlands between memory\, myth\, and the imagination — often drawing on childhood stories\, fairytales\, folklore\, and the uncanny to explore themes of gender\, identity\, and the inner terrain of dreams. (artache.com) \nHer style is theatrical\, whimsical\, and richly symbolic; she frequently reinterprets familiar myths through a feminist lens\, employing visual metaphors and narrative fragments to interrogate the ways we see women\, nature\, and the liminal spaces between waking and sleeping. (artache.com) \nSome notable exhibitions of Theyers’ work include: \n\n“Ex Libris” (Photospace Gallery\, 2022) — a series inspired by early illustrated Victorian children’s books\, reading as an exploration of how books shape memory and imagination. (photospacegallery.com)\n“Suite of Tales” (Pea Sea Art\, Port Chalmers\, 2023) — intertwining dream imagery\, childhood objects\, and the stories hidden in shadows. (PhotoForum)\nParticipation in group shows such as The Art of Death\, Bitter Harvest\, and Communicating Vessels\, where her work often dialogues with occult\, mythological\, spiritual\, or folkloric motifs. (PhotoForum)\n\nTheyers is drawn to work that unsettles\, that evokes both nostalgia and strangeness. She uses symbols\, dreams\, and narrative fragments to explore subtleties of the inner self\, especially from a female perspective. Her photographs are not merely representations but invitations into liminal realms where the familiar becomes uncanny. (artache.com) \nwww.hayleytheyersphotography.nz
