Expedition One. Te Ika A Maui Road Trip
A fleet of vehicles travelling through Te Ika A Maui, jammed pack of artists, tools, materials and ideas. Searching for outdoor and public spaces in which to paint, photograph, film, build, break, talk, scream, be quiet, write, walk, run, cook, eat, pack, unpack, pack, make art and socialize with other creatives.
Rushing to make it on time to our arranged meetings, Expedition One seeks to engage the making in art making and the being in social being. Chevron Hassett x Bent with support from play_station artist run space, would like to invite you on a 10-day road trip around the North Island, producing on site works, camping, visiting artists and artists organizations.
Departing from play_station the 20th of November, we set venture into new spaces, new environments and around new people. Out time on the road in-between each location, will be having spontaneous stops here and there for projects, korero and kai. We will be meeting up with artists, visiting galleries, art incentives and public projects/works along the way.
Our camping and meeting locations through, out the trip will be Whanganui, Rotorua, East Coast and Napier.
Upon arrival, play_station opens its space for the last show of the year, inviting the group of travelling artists to exhibit their discoveries, documentations, foraged findings and creations realized throughout the trip.
