August activities begin and end with Auckland this time round. On Thursday 11 August, Objectspace’s Ockham lecture will feature Steven Junil Park on language through making. The Ōtautahi-based multi-disciplinary artist works under the name 6×4. Fresh from designing the costumes for Nathan Joe and Jane Yonge’s provocative and visually arresting theatrical production, Scenes from a Yellow Peril, his lecture will “examine the roots of why he makes and how this has become his language for understanding the world as a Korean-born New Zealander”, and discuss the making of han (한), his contribution to our current exhibition in the Ockham Gallery, twisting, turning, winding, takatāpui + queer objects. Doors open at 5.30pm for the 6pm lecture at Objectpace: info including on registration on their website: https://www.objectspace.org.nz/events/ockham-lecture-steven-junil-park-on-language/
The month ends with the return of the Auckland Vintage Textile Fair
