The second in a series of dialogue exhibitions made at Te Uru since 2024 in which artists from Aotearoa are paired with international artists, Differences in kind and rhythm presents new work by Robinson (Ngāi Tahu, b.1966, Hakatere) alongside Italian abstract painter Giorgio Griffa (b.1936, Turin).
Despite being artists of different generations, backgrounds, and contexts, Griffa and Robinson both use repeat forms and processes in their work. Marking the first time Griffa’s work will be exhibited in the Southern Hemisphere, the exhibition addresses the related concepts of repetition and difference, emergence and continuum.
The exhibition will be accompanied by richly illustrated publication, launching 26 July at Te Uru Contemporary Gallery.
