Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Boris Dornbusch

Boris Dornbusch lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Recent solo exhibitions include: Driving your car at the speed of a horse, FUTURA, Prague (2013), A battery powered clock placed & left behind somewhere inside a hollow wall, RM, Auckland (2013), Dimensions Variable, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London (2012), Collective Blind Spot RGB, Screens (2011), Ideo Motor, Govett-Brewster Public Art Gallery, New Plymouth (2009). Dornbusch’s practice investigates systems of knowledge and challenges perception through images and objects that cast a sculptural presence in the world as well as unleashing their imaginative power. The viewer acts as the catalyst to the artistic process where materials become concepts and their materiality is constantly disembodied through technology and semantic re-contextualisations.

Hoop

In almost every season there can be a singular moment when something unexpected fails to materialise,(from the trilogy A view through the trees to a couple standing in the snow)
