Warwick Freeman: Hook Hand Heart Star

July 25 – November 15, 2026

The Dowse Art Museum

Warwick Freeman’s emblematic jewellery pursues meaning and reflects a profound depth of thinking about the construction of identity. Freeman has explored forms found in the detritus of daily life, the influence of Aotearoa New Zealand’s colonisation, and the rich geology of the land.

Drawing from five decades of practice, this exhibition brings together works from public and private collections throughout Europe, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, along with works from Freeman’s own archive.

This survey exhibition is presented in partnership between Die Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum in Munich, Germany, and Objectspace in Aotearoa New Zealand.
