STATION is delighted to announce the exhibition by Steve Carr, Making Arrangements, his fifth solo presentation with the gallery.
Steve Carr is a leading New Zealand artist whose multi-disciplinary practice is concerned with moments of material transformation and the conventions of time. Presenting a digital video and a series of sculptures, Making Arrangements continues Carr’s exploration of objects, filmic history, tension and a material’s ability to engage and immerse.
By reshaping the classical techniques of carving marble and casting in bronze and plaster, seemingly banal objects and everyday scenes are brought to life. A water-balloon bursts over a tower of household objects, an abandoned basketball sits deflated with water pooling in its crater, and a pillow lays with the imprint of an absent head. Each moment challenges the viewer’s perception of such objects and encourages time for sustained observation and reflection.
