Duas Cidades is an exchange between a group of five New Zealand and four South American artists to form a ‘single exhibition’ that occurs in two different galleries in two different cities at the same time: RM in Auckland, New Zealand and VEREDAS-SP in São Paulo, Brazil.

Separated by 12012km, an ocean and a continent, the initial motivation for the exchange project was to address geographical and geopolitical similarities and differences. However, over the course of eighteen months this project has become an on-going series of communications and miscommunications, understandings and misunderstandings, sudden strides forward followed by frequent postponements.

The resulting exhibition is a series of works which in parts address our initial motivations, but the works also reflect lost points of reference, concealed stories and misinterpreted information.  There continues to be a shared uncertainty as each group of artists interprets, installs and contextualises the unfamiliar works in their familiar spaces.

Shape Analysis

// Thurs. 29 August – Sat. 14 September

// Opening 6pm, Wed. 28 August 2013.

Shape Analysis has been informed by the process of mapping RM’s internal electro-magnetic fields such as telluric currents, man-made electrical currents and electromagnetic radiation, ley lines, and geopathic stresses. Site-specific geometric form has been generated in response to the mapping of these boundaries between points. In doing so, Shape Analysis is a process of thinking through space, and testing the nature of perception.

Noon, Sunday 18 August, 2013
Leaving from RM, 295 Karangahape Road.

As part of Expanded Map, an exhibition curated by Ruth Watson and James Wylie.

Expanded Map (1) was held in May 2013 with artists Phil Dadson, Amelia Harris, Yolunda Hickman, Thomas Hinton, James Wylie, Gigi Scaria, Paul Janman and Scott Hamilton. We are looking for the residue of this first show to continue into the second. A publication made in conjunction with Index and RM that will bring all the art and artists together will be published and distributed during EM (2), as we wish to include installation shots from the second show.

Maps and mapping are no longer just about geographic features, but have expanded exponentially to include multiple objects and social events, from the galactic and the microscopic, to the transient to the ephemeral. Mapping is increasingly evident in a range of art practices, whether named as such or not.

As part of the exhibition, Balamohan Shingade invites you to join him for Room Yātrā, at midday on Sunday 18 August.

The relationships between people are reflected in and reinforced by the characteristics of urban space – gardens, parks, streets, houses. This project concentrates on urban spaces as spaces without a sense of being fixed, as they are experienced by the newcomer. Dieneke Jansen and Biddy Livesey draw on their shared-but-separate experiences of living as an artist-in-residence in the neighbourhood of Oud Charlois, Rotterdam, to create a dialogue about the potential for space being used in expected and unexpected ways, and the interactions exploring these possibilities creates within a community. The exhibition will be built up over three weeks through a series of interventions and responses, mimicking the artists’ correspondence between New Zealand and the Netherlands over five months in 2012.

Visitors are welcome from 18 July to see work-in-progress. The exhibition will be completed for the closing event on Saturday 3 August
