Anne Shelton's show Dark Matter is currently on at the Auckland Art Gallery. The show includes a diverse selection of works, in which the artist and the viewer enter into a space for revisiting, and reconsidering. Subject matter includes the dynamic characters of K Rd in the 90's, the abandoned Lake Alice Hospital and the grown trees once given as saplings to medal winners it the 1936 Berlin Olympics. But before this far reaching artistic career, Ann Shelton began working as a photojournalist. We talked to her about the transition into art photography, and her subsequent work.
Charlotte Graham (Ngati Mahuta, Ngati Tamaoho, Ngati Whanaunga, Ngati Paoa) presents her show Waikawa at Corbyn Estate Arts Centre. Included is a film of a fish, made of gelatine and full of rubbish, slowly disintegrating in a pool of sea water. It provides a visual and sonic commentary to the environmental breakdown in the waters of Tikapa/the Firth of Thames. 
Also on the show is a rundown of shows opening in AKL, and plenty of good grooves.
