George Chance and Anton Maurer: Contemplations Of Place: Eight Decades On

June 11, 2016 @ 2:00 pm June 29, 2016 @ 3:00 pm

Works by George Chance, who arrived in NZ in 1909, and contemporary works by Anton Maurer. Working in this young country, what are photographers contemplating when picturing New Zealand landscape and the impact of man on the land? Often, it seems, other places. These suites of photographs and the narratives contained within, with their qualities of the bucolic and time stilled/stillness, reward contemplation. Aesthetically, when viewed together, the eight decade time-difference and our perceptions of the past may collapse. Artist talk: Margreta Chance (granddaughter of George Chance) in conversation with Anton Maurer Saturday 11 June, 12pm start. Opening Saturday 11 June, 2pm to 3.30pm. Saturday 11 June to Wednesday 29 June Main Gallery Presented by McNamara Gallery Photography as part of the Auckland Festival of Photography Signature Programme. Special thanks to Creative New Zealand for their support. Top image: George Chance – Pasture beside Lake Wakatipu, N.Z.
