unendingbeginning - Steve Lovett

  • 68 New North Road 68 New North Road Auckland, Auckland, 1021 New Zealand (map)

The show, unendingbeginning sees Steve Lovett revisiting long-standing themes in his art

practice, re-reading the idea of place and experiences attached to those locations in an

attempt to make sense of what has happened, and how we become who we are as a result.

The images gathered together in this new body of work are reconstructions of historical

facts, transit points between the personal and the collective. Lovett, suggests new

articulations of modes of storytelling that are elliptical, subjective and, embody the desire to

show the multiple ways in which individual, small observations—sometimes fictional,

—jostle and intersect with history. In this work Lovett has collected the debris of the past

binding it, at least temporarily, to the present.

Operating between modes of photographic recording and data collection translated into the

printed recollection of ink Lovett assembles a sequence of still image streams emphasizing

the importance of visual discernment, analogue concentration, emphasizing the slowness of

looking.

Running until the 28th January 2024
