Curated by Auckland based practitioner Georgina Watson, ‘vital bodies’ brings together the work of five contemporary artists, writers and theorists from New Zealand and Australia - Georgette Brown, Wendelien Bakker, Anna Rankin, Sam Norton, Virginia Overell, and Holly Childs.

a  momentary  holding  together
of bodies.    a resting  upon  wet
surfaces.    fingertips     budding
with     moisture.      dank    bush
floors,        foliage,       fermented
foods.     membranes expanding,
seeds  germinating  as  they  hit
the  air.  excessive  gardens,
fish eggs laid in oceans. droplets
hanging     suspended.       the
incipient vitality all around.

Georgette Brown

Georgette Brown is a Pōneke Wellington-based artist and musician. She attributes much of her art practice to her formative years, spent living deep within a eucalyptus forest in Australia. Over the past few years, Georgette has exhibited at a range of artist-run and project spaces around the country, including Enjoy Contemporary Art Space, Neo Gracie, Satchi Saatchi & Saatchi, Window, MEANWHILE, Play_station, and Blue Oyster Art Project Space.
