Why was it important for Objectspace to have a home<br />
in Christchurch?<br />
Christchurch is an important and distinct city in Aotearoa,<br />
especially for design and architecture. Creating a new<br />
home for thinking around these disciplines made sense in<br />
the context of the city.<br />
Objectspace is a national leadership organisation for<br />
craft- and object-based practices, mandated by Creative<br />
New Zealand, so this new space creates a physical outpost<br />
in the South Island for our national programme delivery.<br />
Scaling Objectspace to two sites sees the best of design,<br />
architecture and craft presented across both islands,<br />
expanding our national footprint and engaging wider<br />
audiences in these disciplines.<br />
What kind of a programme can we expect from<br />
this gallery?<br />
Thoughtful, maker-led exhibitions that say something<br />
about architecture and design in Aotearoa.<br />
As we continue into 2024, our work in the discipline of<br />
craft will work its way in too.<br />
The mission is to offer exhibitions and events that<br />
support discourse and provide a wealth of opportunities<br />
to engage and expand knowledge of material cultures<br />
in Aotearoa.
