Frances Hodgkins: Creating Space
Gow Langsford Exibition Catalogue
-
21 May - 25 June 2025
Frances Hodgkins is one of New Zealand’s defining figures of early modernism. A fiercely independent woman living at the turn of the 20th century, she dedicated her life to art – travelling frequently around Europe, looking at the world around her for inspiration. She developed an excellent reputation in the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and New Zealand, particularly for her skill with watercolour and gouache. While influential during her lifetime, Hodgkins’ stature has continued to grow since her death in 1947.
Hodgkins’ lifelong determination to make art, to continue challenging the conventions of her perceived style, drove her to embed herself in the very heart of the art world in the UK and gain the respect of her peers and art critics alike. Always struggling for money, she relied heavily on her family, and in particular, on her friends and patrons in the UK. They saw her rare talent and backed her drive to make new and challenging works. Just as her audience would come to terms with one body of work Hodgkins would push through a barrier and leap into a new, more challenging style. She was never complacent and was always excited about the next work she was going to create. Creating Space brings together a collection of works in graphite, watercolour, gouache and oil. Travel with Hodgkins from Dordrecht to Dorset, over forty years of her practice, and see her continually striving towards a new visual language.

In a psychodrama group session the director will often say to the protagonist in the drama: Go ahead. Set out this place in time. Use people, use chairs, use props. The protagonist will begin to concretize a moment from their past. As the scene is created, the director will ask the protagonist to describe what is before them. The group is witness to a remembered moment being formed anew, a transient structure in which the group members may be invited to become people or animals or windows or trees.
Photographs of psychodrama are a novel type of memoir, recording depictions of family systems, but with the group taking up the roles of family members. In The Familial Gaze Nancy Miller speculates that family photographs serve to structure memories and relations:
“By taking the picture, parents consciously and unconsciously rehearse the drama of related identities. In a way the photo is the relation.”1
An audience who views these photographs of psychodrama won’t know whether the scenes portray places and moments in the protagonists’ lives, or whether they represent a surplus reality that has been explored in the psychodrama. Nevertheless, the concretisation of props and people produces a mapping of relationship. This map may represent what cannot be fully expressed, perhaps the beginnings of a new understanding emerging in the protagonist, of their family system and the social forces and intergenerational forces that press upon it.

A Potent Way of Talking: Colin McCahon and the Urewera triptych
-
Colin McCahon’s eyes needed more than picturesque forest scenery. His peering out of the car window … was a vital part of his process of looking into ‘New Zealand’ … and figuring out how to show it to us. I have to acknowledge the many art-historical cartographers who have proved to be such able pathfinders and have preceded me in the endeavour of writing a book about Colin McCahon, in this case centring on just one painting.
The quote above is from environmentalist Geoff Park. His insights will be familiar to readers by the conclusion of A Potent Way of Talking: Colin McCahon and the Urewera triptych—as will those from scholars and curators Judith Binney, Gordon H. Brown, Wystan Curnow, Justin Paton, Laurence Simmons, Peter Simpson, Ngāhuia te Awekōtuku and Linda Tyler.
This project began in 2019, the anniversary of Colin McCahon’s birth, with a phone call from the then new kaitiaki of the Urewera triptych, and an invitation to write an essay that might illuminate the commissioning and creation of this striking canvas dating to 1975. From that point my research began, the wero (challenge) and kaupapa (theme) expanding as a fresh wave of publications, exhibitions and events landed, celebrating the life’s work of one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s great artists—each doing a bit more ‘figuring out’. I hope A Potent Way of Talking adds something to this discourse.

Interlaced: Animation & Textiles
-
Interlaced: Animation and Textiles explores the layered relationship between these two artforms. This lavishly illustrated book covers more than a century of media art, from early cinema experiments to contemporary algorithmically generated images. Braiding together analogue and digital media, Interlaced explores the enduring capacity of textile forms to make visible animating forces and to reanimate intergenerational memory. Published on the occasion of the groundbreaking exhibition at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre, the book features the work of twenty-four artists who embroider with projected light, quilt celluloid films and weave digital tapestries.
Curator and media scholar Alla Gadassik proposes a textile genealogy of animation tied to dancing veils, weaving samples and patterned barkcloth. The work of renowned filmmaker Len Lye serves as a connective thread in her account of textile traditions and forms that have shaped animation. Interlaced explores animated cloth as a technology of enchantment, reveals the fabric of film and digital imaging, contends with feminised labour sustaining textile and media production, and traces globally distinct lineages of animated textiles.
ALLA GADASSIK is a scholar, writer and curator of animation and contemporary media art. She is Associate Professor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Vancouver, Canada), where she founded the Animate Materials Workshop. The Animate Materials Workshop is dedicated to animation as a method of interdisciplinary material inquiry that bridges the arts and sciences. As International Film Curator in Residence at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre (2022–25), Alla authored the book Graphite: Animated Traces (2024) and developed Interlaced: Animation and Textiles, the large-scale group exhibition that occasioned this publication.

A Bricks & Mortar Legacy
-
A Bricks & Mortar Legacy: Stories of Commercial Buildings in Te Awamutu 1890 – 1957
Authors: Alan Hall and Sandra Metcalfe
The Te Awamutu branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists have been involved in investigating the history of 32 buildings in Te Awamutu, some of which are now more than 100 years old.
The buildings, all constructed between 1890 and 1957, were selected because of their age and architecture – and in the case of the 86-year-old, Hodgson Motors building, because it faced demolition.
Information about each building was gathered from Waipa District Council’s archives, old newspapers, public consultations, and interviews, and images were sourced from photographic collections at Te Awamutu Museum.
Genealogy group members consider the many hours of research have been worth it because they are now able to provide the town with a comprehensive record of the commercial buildings and their history.

The Financial Colonization of Aotearoa
-
Author: Catherine Comyn
Finance was at the center of every stage of the colonization of Aotearoa, from the sale of Māori lands and the emigration of early colonists to the founding of settler nationhood and the enforcement of colonial governance.
Described as “Theoretically sophisticated, historically precise, and politically urgent” by Max Haiven, this book reveals the financial instruments and imperatives that drove the British colonial project in the nineteenth century. This is a history of the joint-stock company, a speculative London property market that romanticized the distant lands of indigenous peoples, and the calculated use of credit and taxation by the British to dispossess Māori of their land and subject them to colonial rule.
By illuminating the centrality of finance in the colonization of Aotearoa, this book not only reframes our understanding of this country’s history, but also the stakes of anticolonial struggle today.
