Robyn Penn at The Waikato Museum, New Zealand

Robyn Penn's work has been selected to show in The Waikato Museum National Contemporary Art Award, Hamilton, New Zealand. This year the exhibition is made up of 52 finalists chosen from among more than 300 entries by the judge for 2019, internationally-renowned NZ artist Fiona Pardington MNZM, DocFA. 

 

"My drawings invite an audience to inhabit a world which, in truth, is fast becoming uninhabitable. Preoccupied with the crisis of climate change, they aren’t designed to assuage our fears, but in their muted, quiet, yet unerringly uncertain manner, ask us to embrace unsettlement, to take that unsettlement to heart."

 

The exhibition concludes on 10 November 2019.
