Marking her first exhibition with Sanderson after several years of dedicated research Schemes for Vibrant Living with Florence Weir develops from Julia Holderness‘ recent final PhD exhibition at Auckland University of Technology.

In privileging design, decorative and domestic categories, Holderness’ installation practice traces alternative histories of modernism in Aotearoa, in a reflexive and haptic research process that contributes to a feminist rethinking of the art historical archive. Through the use of invented personae, artworks and exhibitions, Holderness explores questions of truth, representation and temporality in historiography whilst also critiquing traditionally held divides between art historical scholarship and artistic fabrication.

Opening: 11 June, 11am-1pm
