The High Seas opens soon!!
The High Seas is a new space in Auckland, NZ and is comprised of a gallery / bookshop / record store and music venue. While we are open to a broad range of contemporary art, our focus is in showcasing local comic, illustration and design artists producing material that outside of the dominant forms of these practices.
Providing a bookshop furthers this focus by stocking a selection of comics, graphic novels, art books and zines from local and international artists. Our bookshop also welcomes contributions.
Alongside the visual art, we stock a wide range of innovative and experimental audio, mostly from New Zealand practitioners. We work closely with the Audio Foundation and stock a range of music that until now has rarely been available in stores.
The High Seas is also a space for musicians, sound artists and film makers to perform their work.
We open on the 7th of August with a group show of contemporary drawing and on the 8th have a gig by Our Love will Destroy The World, Rosy Parlane and Nigel Wright.
Anyone interested in hiring the gallery for shows or contributing to the shop can contact us at info@thehighseas.co.nz or just come in for a gander and a chinwag, The High Seas, 12 Beresford Square, around the corner from K rd off Pitt Street.
