See recycled and mass produced objects transformed into works of art in Artstation’s new exhibition Circular.

The exhibition, which runs from 3-13 March, features mixed media works by 11 artists who explore traditional handmade and labour intensive approaches to object making.

Curator, Leanne Joy Lupelele Clayton and artists, Lily Aitui Laita and Terry Koloamatangi Klavenes will give a floor talk about the exhibition on Saturday, 6 March at 1pm.

“The objects have been reinvented, re-appropriated and reused through these artists’ global inspirations. The recycled and mass-produced objects are transformed and reinterpreted in ways that more traditional Pacific and Western artists would not have initially conceived," says Leanne Joy Lupelele Clayton.  

Artist, Ela To’omaga Kaikilekofe will also run a pacific inspired jewellery making workshop as part of the exhibition on Saturday, 6 March 11am to12pm. Bookings are essential, so email tautai@tautai.org to reserve your place today.
