Bledisloe Walkway Lightbox Exhibition

Bledisloe Walkway Light Boxes

The Bledisloe Walkway Light Boxes are a new outdoor exhibition space in the heart of Auckland city. The light boxes offer artists, curators and arts organisations the opportunity to exhibit in a unique format in a high-profile location.

The light boxes are situated in the Bledisloe Walkway, which runs between Aotea Square and Wellesley Street. Between four and six exhibitions featuring the work of both individual artists, and curated group exhibitions are held each year.

Current exhibition

Park - photographs by Richard Orjis
Saturday, 17 July to Monday 25, October 2010

In the series Park, Richard Orjis has created an opulent fantasy world where a pair of jewel-encrusted robots recline majestically in a bed; an artificial garden teems with spring flowers, rising dough, plastic bones, and candles; and totemic Alsatians preside over, guide, and guard the gates at either end of this dark and decadent playground. Orjis conjures up a world of paradoxes where nature looks beautiful, pure and intrinsically good, but at the same time appears dangerous, decadent and destructive.

Richard Orjis is a multimedia artist, utilising photography, paint, sculpture and performance. Orjis is represented by the Anna Bibby Gallery.
