Objectspace is a public art gallery in Auckland, New Zealand. It opened in 2004 and is dedicated to the fields of craft, applied arts and design.[1]
Organisation
[edit | edit source]Objectspace's founding chair was jeweller Warwick Freeman.[2] The gallery's founding director was Philip Clarke (2004 - 2015). Kim Paton was appointed as the current director in 2015.[3]
Administered by the Objectspace charitable trust, the gallery receives support from Creative New Zealand and The Friends of Objectspace.[4][5]
The 2017 trustees are:

The trustees have appointed Octavia Cook, Marianne Hargreaves, Justine Olsen and Areta Wilkinson as special advisors.[4]
Master of Craft series
[edit | edit source]The Objectspace Masters of Craft exhibition series highlights a New Zealand practitioner and is accompanied by a publication. Former chair Warwick Freeman writes 'A Master of Craft is someone who has acquired a deep understanding around a particular making practice. They make work that is honed by the experience of doing something very well for a very long time'.[6] Artists who have been recognized in this series include:
- industrial designer Peter Haythornthwaite (2018)[7]
- graphic designer Mark Cleverley (2014)[8]
- interior designer Nanette Cameron (2013)[9]
- jeweller Kobi Bosshard (2012)
- potter Richard Parker (2011)[10]
2017 relocation and extension of mission
[edit | edit source]In 2017 Objectspace moved from its original premises to new premises at 13 Rose Road in Ponsonby, Auckland.[11] The new gallery has increased space for exhibitions.[12] The move was driven by an increase in Objectspace's funding from Creative New Zealand, to include the disciplines of architecture and design alongside craft and applied art.[12] The opening exhibitions included an installation in the new courtyard space by Warwick Freeman, an exhibition of a collaboration between typographer Kris Sowersby and design agency Alt Group, and FutureIslands, a restaging of the New Zealand presentation at the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture.[12] The new gallery opened on 27 July 2017.[11]
