His career spanned the emergence of the modern mass media in the 1920s to the full acceptance of photography as an art form in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of Evans’s individual images have become landmarks both of photography and the social history of that era. This exhibition took a different look at Evans, placing the emphasis on his printed pages, and in particular his work for American magazines. Evans began to publish in 1929 and soon found ways to set his own assignments, write the accompanying words and design his layouts. Working in both black and white and colour for nearly four decades, Evans used the popular magazine page to produce a resistant counter-commentary on American society and its values. Where the mass media enjoyed celebrity culture, Evans photographed anonymous citizens. Where the mass media promoted consumerism, Evans valued enduring objects and the persistence of the past in the present. His subjects included automobile junkyards, graffiti, shop window displays and postcards. These photo essays were often subtly at odds with the editorial line of the magazines that published them—notably Fortune, America’s prime magazine of big business and industry. Evans was a pioneer of modern photography but on the magazine page we can see his understanding of context; the meanings of his images are shaped by editing, writing and design. Experimental and yet classical, these photo-essays have been overlooked until recently. Walker Evans: The Magazine Work has been presented in several important venues globally, including MOCAK, Museum of Contemporary Art, Kracow, Poland, and the Palazzo Magnani, Reggio Emilia, Italy. This was its exclusive New Zealand presentation. For more information on David Campany visit his website: http://davidcampany.com/ Listen to Lynn Freeman’s interview with David Campany on Standing Room Only, RadioNZ. Media release available here. Walker Evans: The Magazine Work received substantial support from Displayschemes, Wellington. Campany’s visit to Wellington was supported by The Clark Collection.

Rather than creating new works, they believed the artist was not able to produce anything original, given their submergence in a world already full of pictures. Levine’s provocative series titled After Walker Evans (1981) was a major contribution to this moment. Here she boldly scrutinised notions of originality and truth by meticulously reproducing 1:1 scaled copies of printed versions of Walker Evans’s seminal photographs produced in Alabama during the Great Depression. By lifting these subjects, Levine delivered a definitively post-modern blow, described as a ‘feminist hijacking of patriarchal authority, a critique of the commodification of art, and an elegy on the death of modernism’. By inserting distance between us and Walker Evans, and of course his famous subjects, she turned attention to the production of meaning itself, putting pressure on the image as a vehicle of truth. In 2014, Sherrie Levine produced a new series: African Masks After Walker Evans, this time reproducing images Evans produced for the Museum of Modern Art in New York’s 1935 exhibition African Negro Art. Evans’s images were produced on commission, when the Museum hired him to document the large collection of African masks recently acquired by the institution. Levine presented a set of twenty images that subsequently appeared in the book African Folktales and Sculpture. While initially appearing as a simple act of copying, the quality Levine obtained from her new set of photographic prints forces us to observe miniscule differences between the publication plates and the photographs from which they were made. Levine’s works were brought to the Adam Art Gallery courtesy of the artist, Simon Lee Gallery, London and the Walker Evans Archive at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This was the first time her work had been shown in New Zealand. Reconnections. From the Markov chain to the mark of Cain 2016 (detail).

What seems to have happened slowly is that the collections eventually became my work. – Patrick Pound The New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based artist Patrick Pound has had a long-term engagement with the work of Walker Evans, both as a writer and as a practicing artist. For his solo exhibition at the Adam Art Gallery, Pound developed an installation comprised of found images, taking his cue from Walker Evans’s practice of working with readymade printed matter which he published in magazines such as Fortune and Architectural Forum. While Pound’s collecting habits are voracious, he is also a great organiser. He is interested in typologies and arranges items according to shared content: ‘tears’, ‘floral clocks’, ‘crime scenes’, ‘sleepers’, and so on. Laying these out in linear sequences Pound discovers points of intersection to create complex grids of structured yet chaotic imagery. A Hollywood film still of a crime scene will sit eerily alongside an image of a real deceased subject sourced from an archive; or a set of postcards will show the same subject, shot by different photographers and describing both changing viewpoints and the passage of time. Pound has stated: ‘People make sense of the world through assembling, listing and categorising…meaning is to be found in the accumulation of [these] details.’ The publication Documentary Intersect associated with this exhibition is available for sale in the gallery and online here. Patrick Pound’s exhibition was supported by Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa. Newspaper (for Vignelli) 2011, 16mm film transferred to HD video, 3mins 35secs, looped.

Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection, purchased 2012" width="70" height="70" /> Sonya Lacey Newspaper for Vignelli Sonya Lacey’s Newspaper for Vignelli depicts a series of tracking shots which tail the pages of a newspaper as they continually tumble just-out-of-reach within a gusty outdoor setting. This video, which is transferred from 16mm film, was acquired for the Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection in 2012 as part of its new media collection initiative. The newspaper depicted is not any-old daily tabloid. Lacey has carefully constructed a facsimile based on the European Journal (1978), a proposed-but-never-published newspaper designed by the well-known modernist graphic designer Massimo Vignelli (1931-2014). While only Vignelli’s mockup of his cover has survived, Lacey has imagined the journal’s complete contents, recreating Vignelli’s signature gridded blocks, uniformly scaled titles and bold sans-serif headers. Casting this design into a turbulent environment is her meditation on aesthetic hope, a consideration of the fate of ‘good’ design in a world of commercial imperatives.

Leaving on a JET plane for Lower Hutt's sister city in Minoh, Japan
- Hutt Minoh House Friendship Trust
- <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > L to R: Hannah Van Vliet, Malcolm Pimentel, Mayor Ray Wallace, Martin Wabnitz, April Sului, Thomas Palmer Five young people from Lower Hutt will soon be heading to Minoh, Japan to teach English on the JET (Japan Exchange Teaching) programme. Minoh in Osaka has been Lower Hutt’s Sister City for 21 years. The new JETs: Hannah Van Vliet, Malcolm Pimentel, Martin Wabnitz, April Sului, Thomas Palmer, all met with Mayor Wallace to talk about their exciting opportunity to travel to Minoh, immerse themselves in Japanese culture, represent Lower Hutt and teach English as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in Primary and Junior High Schools for a minimum of one year. <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Tour of Hutt Minoh House in Normandale To apply for the JET programme, applicants must have completed a university degree in any subject before going through a rigorous international application process. It has taken about nine months since applying to be finally selected. The JET programme is supported by the Embassy of Japan in Wellington who coordinate all the NZ applications. The final decision was made by the Japanese Council of Local And International Relations (CLAIR) in Tokyo, who recently advised the successful applicants of their new city for the next year. Thomas has already had some experience mentoring and tutoring students at university so assisting in classes will not be totally new to him. Malcolm is multilingual and has completed a degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. Hannah has completed an honours degree in Japanese language and Martin has also studied Japanese so they have a head start on their colleagues who are learning the basics of Japanese language and culture prior to leaving at the end of the month. Only April has been to Japan before as she has a sister already on the JET programme. <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Talking about the importance of the sister city relationship with Mayor Ray Wallace. Mayor Wallace was pleased to meet these young Ambassadors who will not only teach English in Minoh schools but will interact with locals promoting their home town and strengthening the Lower Hutt-Minoh Sister City relationship. <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Four of the new JETs taking part in the monthly Skype session with citizens of Minoh and Lower Hutt. Minoh City Mayor Kurata is thrilled to receive so many young people from Lower Hutt to live and teach in Minoh for the first time in over ten years, since a similar programme finished in 2006. The new JETs will also be very involved with the Hutt Friendship Club, based in Minoh, who Skype with their counterparts in Lower Hutt each month to discuss topics of mutual interest. It will be great to see local faces in Minoh and hear about their experiences. It is just another example of the growing intercultural engagement and continued internationalisation between our sister cities. If you would like to find out more about the JET programme, see www.nz.emb-japan.go.jp/culture_education/JET.html And if you would like to find out more about Lower Hutt's sister city Minoh, you're in the right place!
