PEG gallery opens with kaupapa of care and commitment

Peggy Robinson has opened a new contemporary art gallery called PEG on Cuba Street in Wellington, New Zealand. The gallery occupies a historic 1907 industrial building that was originally a mattress factory. Robinson, who has nearly a decade of experience in the arts, founded PEG with a kaupapa (Māori concept of principles) centered on presence, care, and deep commitment to artists. The inaugural exhibition features Reece King's show 'Halfway to the Splits', which explores repetition, labour, and process-based poetics developed during his Frances Hodgkins fellowship.

Space as Practice. A Decade of WL4 Art Space.

WL4 Art Space in Gdańsk, Poland, celebrates its tenth anniversary. Founded in 2015 when a group of artists took over a former bakery at Wiosny Ludów 4, the space has evolved from a practical need for studios into a self-organized, grassroots collective.
