Artist Floor Talk: Sophia Smolenski – Offering it up
Date: Sunday 1 June 2025
Time: 11am – 12pm
Venue: Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery in the exhibition space
Free, all welcome. Bookings not required

Three years in the making, Sophia Smolenski’s installation uses the accoutrement of the mount-maker’s workshop and the furniture of exhibition display as frames for the presentation of 22 art works the artist has commissioned from a range of contemporary New Zealand makers who were invited to create items for display in response to mounts she first constucted for objects in her personal possession. This engaging project is a wonderful installation, that is conversational, collaborative and diverse. Come and hear the artist in conversation with curator Milly Mitchell-Anyon as they discuss the evolution of the project in an illustrated talk followed by a question & answer session in the gallery space.

This exhibition is toured with the support of Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery and has been made possible by a generous grant from Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa.
