Work Out at Tauranga Art Gallery w' Sarah Bentley, Turumeke Harrington, Paul Darragh: 10 March, 2023

Last Friday, Tauranga Art Gallery saw the proper opening of Work Out - a multi artist project celebrating colour and how artists have turned their practise into sustainable careers. The gallery contains pieces by Simon Ward, Dream Girls Art Collective, Yvonne Todd, Turumeke Harrington, and Paul Darragh. I’ve had a chat with the latter two artists about their pieces - Turumeke’s “Massive Props”, and Paul's “Shape Up Ship Out”. We’ll be learning about what went into them and their creative practice as a whole, but first we’ll be hearing from Serena Bently - the curator and exhibition manager of Tauranga Art Gallery. We had a yarn about the inspiration behind the project, the different artists involved, and more! Whakarongo mai nei!
