Differences in kind and rhythm w/ Peter Robinson: 4th July, 2025

Differences in kind and rhythm is the second in a series of dialogue exhibitions made at Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery since 2024, for which artists from Aotearoa are paired with international artists.

Curated by James Gatt, this exhibition pairs the work of senior multidisciplinary artist Peter Robinson and Italian painter Giorgio Griffa, eliciting a considered and cross-cultural conversation between the works and their respective practices. 

Together, the paintings by Griffa and sculptural forms by Robinson have shared qualities of repeated forms and movements that respond to related concepts of repetition and difference, emergence and continuum. Common threads can be seen within the works through the complex, lyrical, the sharp and soft, illustrating subtle distinctions between similar forms and difference in expression. 

Sofia had a kōrero with Peter Robinson about the making of Differences in kind and rhythm.
