RM is an artist-run space, project office and archive.

Based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, RM is a gallery that places the work of local emerging artists alongside more seasoned practitioners.
RM seeks to engage with the practices, discourses and modes of presentation that aren’t well-supported or easily accessible in Auckland.

Though we might look like a white cube, we are more interested in the potentials of an empty room – a space to gather, to think, to talk, to make, to share…

Established in 1997, RM is the country’s longest running artist-run-space. The current members of the cooperative are Anna Bensky, Anna Finch, Aria McInnes, Holly Thai, Jude Stevens, Rakavi Jeyakumar, Rose Meyer, Sinag Fernandez, Taarn Scott and Zak McNeil. Previous incarnations of the rm project have included rm3, rm212, rm401 and rm103.
