Just last night at Studio 445 on Karangahape Road, the Without Appeal Collective’s ‘A Garden To Banish Loneliness’ window exhibition had its opening night.
The exhibition will be on until the sixteenth of August, and explore collaborators Will Greeson and Iulia Boscu take on a futuristic sci-fi landscape that reassess the optimism that used to be in futuristic fiction.
Liam had a chat with the duo to learn more about the exhibition and what went into it.

Briana Jamieson is a Te Whanganui-a-Tara based painter who produces luminous oil paintings through her expanded meditative painting practice. Leaning into her love of writing and poetry, allowing the words to call out to her paintings, and in turn the paintings to her poetry.
In her current exhibition at Sanderson Contemporary, Garden Day, Jamieson produces a beautiful body of paintings that are inspired by her time spent at her local community garden. Planting patches of flowers that she tends to, and shares with her local community. This love of gardening cross pollinating into her painting practice, with Jamieson producing these glowing dream-like oil paintings of flowers and butterflies.
A Symbiosis of gardening and painting that pulls viewers into this warm embrace of nature and its tranquility.
Maya had a chat with Briana about the show and her overall practice.
