Pātaka’s autumn exhibitions celebrate stone and glass

Porirua City Council

Pātaka Art+Museum’s two latest exhibitions demonstrate the beauty that can be found in stone and glass.

Kura Pounamu: Our Treasured Stone and Passengers are on until 11 June.

Kura Pounamu tells the story of hundreds of years of Māori innovation and spirituality with pounamu – New Zealand greenstone.

“Kura Pounamu is a wonderful exhibition that has toured extensively, including overseas to China and Europe,” says Pātaka Director Ana Sciascia.

Meanwhile, Passengers features two bodies of sculptural work by artist Vicki Fanning. It steers technology, history and abstraction into ethereal bodies of glass.

“Although visually different, both exhibitions play with the inherent qualities of glass, and what those qualities can hold and deliver,” says Fanning.
