Play station is currently showing Learner Lover, a sculptural exhibition responding to breakups, Aotearoa’s waterways and regeneration by Whanganui-based artist Ming Ranginui.
In Pōneke’s CBD there are two contemporary art spaces that exist out of our eye-line. Play station and MEANWHILE are volunteer-led artist-run galleries and studio spaces that have expanded and diversified our art scene for several years now. While they might take more time to find (up staircases or by elevator and open limited hours), they’re worth the effort to experience fresh approaches to art. These initiatives support artists predominantly at the beginning of their career, assisting them in developing their art practice and providing them with the opportunity to show their work to an invested audience.
