Arts and Culture
Differences in kind and rhythm is the second in a series of dialogue exhibitions made at Te Uru since 2024 for which artists from Aotearoa are paired with international artists. This dialogue pairs the practices of Italian abstract painter Giorgio Griffa (b.1936, Turin) and local sculptor Peter Robinson (Ngāi Tahu, b.1966, Hakatere). Despite being artists of different generations, backgrounds, and contexts, Griffa and Robinson similarly use repeat forms and processes in their work to address related concepts of repetition and difference, emergence and continuum. The conversation between works in this exhibition is concerned equally with these similar approaches to practice and their underlying distinctions, forming a cross-cultural exchange between Māori and Western worldviews.
Designed by hi–low studio, this accompanying catalogue is richly illustrated with documentation of the exhibition and furnished with insightful new texts on selected works by leading writers Christina Barton, Jarrett Earnest, Justin Paton, and Shannon Te Ao, in addition to an extended introduction by curator James Gatt.
