Magpie is a highly engaging exhibition showcasing over 70 works by 24 extraordinary contemporary New Zealand jewellers.

They’ve been rifling through the kitchen cupboards, stalking the $2 shops and beachcombing. A strong interest in textile traditions and materials is a key feature –but it doesn’t stop there. Plastics, felt, hessian, cockle shells, postage stamps, old cake tins, old coins and product packaging all pour forth from a veritable cornucopia in which everything is as ‘precious’ as silver and gold.

Curated by former director of TheNewDowse, Tim Walker, Magpie presents a broad survey of current New Zealand jewellery. It ranges from the work of senior jewellers – such as Lisa Walker, Pauline Bern and the members of the Weeds Collective – to recent graduates from the MIT and Unitec jewellery course.

As such it’s a rare chance for audiences to see what’s going on in what may well be the most vibrant and conceptually rich contemporary art sector in New Zealand today.

Workshops: Saturday 8th May 12-2pm and Sunday 9th May 12-2pm with Karen D'Agnostino
Floor Talk: Saturday 8th May 2pm with Lisa Walker and Sunday 9th May 2pm with Pauline Bern Lisa Walker
