Indiscreet Tourist is an exhibition by Rupert Travis opening at Föenander gallery.
All works painted during Travis’ time spent overseas in the South of France, Indiscreet Tourist is a response to what catches our attention as we travel and observations that might go unnoticed by locals otherwise.

Liam Gerrard is an artist from Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. He is interested in the relationship between darkness and beauty, and often explores this in his work.

Greenpeace says they “are raising the alarm” on Fonterra’s role in derailing international Climate Action.
This comes after the Netherlands-based Changing Markets Foundations released a report last week outlining the actions of 22 of the biggest meat and dairy companies across four continents. The report highlights Fonterra and the New Zealand livestock industry as key players in a strategy to delay regulation of agriculture emissions.
Wire Host Caeden spoke to Greenpeace spokesperson Sinead O’Flynn about the report and Greenpeace’s concerns.
