Public Access 4
Cut Collective has been working away on a new exhibition. The latest in the series of exhibitions titled ‘Public Access’. The first Public Access was held in Napier in January of 2007. For this, the 4th we are kindly being hosted by the Auckland Art Gallery (who are covering the install on their blog here).
Public Access essentially deals with the artists navigation of displaying art work within public and private spaces, removing boundaries around art viewing and looking at the role the gallery plays in the display of art. Our artistic backgrounds all have a common thread of street art and graffiti and this continues to inform our practice and influence our approach to art-making.
The show is open from the 20th of Feb and runs through to March 11th. CC members will be on-site most days during this time to continue to develop the works and we encourage you all to come down and check it out. The work is both inside and outside the space – hence the opening hours stated below.

COMMON GROUND
This month The New Dowse in Lower Hutt will be hosting the Common Ground exhibition. A collaborative exercise between NZ’s Cut Collective and Germany’s ViaGrafik.
The show features work exploring ideas stemming from each collectives experience of working within a range of mediums and environments, and how the site of the street can inform and inspire creativity.
Opening on Friday the 13th with live painting, Olmecha Supreme Soundsystem, SecretLevel DJ’s, King Homeboy the NZ beatbox champ, and laser tag (tagging with lasers as opposed to chasing people with laser guns). All are welcome.
Also as part of the exhibition is a panel discussion based around the role of graffiti and street art.
Keep the Wall Grey and the Mind Will Follow…
Sunday 15 February 3-4pm / FREE
Artist/curator Jo Randerson chairs this panel discussion on the role and status of street art. Is street art a display of cutting-edge urban creativity or reckless vandalism?
Engage in the debate about the use of public spaces for creative expression with guest street artists from Cut Collective and Via Grafik, community youth workers, graffiti eradication specialists, media commentators and public space designers/architects.
