Self and Other: The Expressionist Spirit in New Zealand Art

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.

Self and Other: The Expressionist Spirit in New Zealand Art

Where

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki
When

18 December 2003 - 17 October 2004

New Zealand artists have frequently used intense subject matter to 'speak' visually about themselves. This exhibition draws upon the Gallery and Chartwell collections and brings together many artists fascinated by the intersections between self-confession and self-mythology.
