Edwards + Johann: Mutability\u2014propositions to an unknown universe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Christchurch Art Gallery in Christchurch, New Zealand
14 September 2024-9 February 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Transformation is at the heart of “Mutability–propositions to an unknown universe”. It features the work of Victoria Edwards and Ina Johann, \u014ctautahi Christchurch-based artists who have collaborated as “Edwards + Johann” since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards + Johann use a range of different materials and processes–photography, drawing, collage, sculpture and more–often layering these over each other so that their works evolve through multiple states. “Edwards + Johann: Mutabilities\u2014propositions to an unknown universe” combines a selection of works from the last five years with new sculptures–some still in a state of “becoming”–to deliver an intriguing and transporting art experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic residencies, in New Zealand, Scotland, France and Switzerland, have been a key part of Edwards + Johann\u2019s practice, providing an opportunity to absorb the atmosphere and history of unfamiliar locations and then use this as a catalyst for artmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their new exhibition is shaped by their responses to two very different places–\u014ctautahi Christchurch and Whakaari White Island, located near Whakat\u0101ne on the east coast of the North Island. The pair visited Whakaari twice in 2018 as part of the Volcanic Arts Residency and were immediately struck by its dramatic and ever-changing landscape. The following year, the volcanic crater erupted violently, resulting in the deaths of 22 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the works included in this exhibition show objects transforming from one state to another \u2013 there are edges, slippages and strange juxtapositions, but also possibilities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
