GRWM
Aria McInnes, Keani Rewha, Rita Takeuchi

GRWM brings together the practices of Aria McInnes, Keani Rewha, and Rita Takeuchi, drawing from the online video genre “Get Ready With Me,” where personal, everyday rituals are performed for a public audience. Through painting and installation, the exhibition translates the reflections that arise from analysing contemporary online behaviour and its influence on how we navigate daily life. The works consider how contemporary identity is shaped by cycles of performance, reinvention, and the commercialisation of the personal.

Converging three distinct practices, GRWM examines how authenticity is constructed, staged, and circulated. It navigates the increasingly blurred boundary between private and public spheres, where acts of preparation become content and vulnerability becomes an aesthetic strategy. By translating digital rituals into material and physical space, the artists recontextualise online behaviour, inviting viewers to reflect on how the self is continuously assembled, performed, packaged, and consumed.

Goldies Grove
Jude Stevens

Goldies Grove reflects on the colonial implications of Goldies Bush, with its history of mass kauri deforestation and the ongoing effects of the soil-borne pathogen, kauri dieback. The installation is made from found uku and fallen kauri. These treasured raw materials were collected and processed on the land Jude Stevens grew up on, located in Muriwai, bordering Goldies Bush. Acknowledging Te Kawerau ā Maki, the tangata whenua of Goldies Bush and Auckland’s west coast, the materials of this installation will return to the land.
