Current Exhibitions
Verity Kindleysides: Inside the Garden & Beyond (after Pat Hanly)
This exhibition explores the three-maunga island chain of the Devonport peninsula, linked by jewel-like gardens, as a reinterpretation and homage to Pat Hanly’s early-1970s Inside the Garden series.
Amanda Mackenzie: Common Matter
“Common Matter” follows cycles of making, unmaking, and remaking. Egg trays molded from waste and shaped entirely by use look the same everywhere, belong to no one, and move through global systems in quiet sameness. In the gallery, they are stacked, clustered, and reconfigured into temporary structures.
Ana Ferrari: Inkpressions
As part of Inkpressions (2 April – 28 April 2026), Ana Ferrari will lead an evening workshop in the DEPOT Lounge on 22 April.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Chris Melville: Material World
Material World is a meditation on perception, transformation, and place. In this body of work, Chris Melville photographs everyday textiles such as linen, cotton, denim, and sheer fabrics using long exposures and natural light. What initially appears as vast landscapes, shifting tides, or drifting mist is revealed as fabric in motion, observed up close and slowed down through time. Familiar materials become expansive and atmospheric, inviting viewers to reconsider what they are seeing.
The DEPOT Lounge is a collaborative workspace and creative sanctuary for the Tāmaki Makaurau community to connect.
As a dedicated, multi-purpose space designed to foster creativity, community, collaboration, and professional engagement, the DEPOT Lounge offers a flexible environment for casual work, client bookings, full-space hires, and artist-led initiatives.
