Event Programmme - Residency February 28th to April 21st 2010

The idea of interconnectedness within the global artistic community was being embraced and explored by UK practitioners Iain Robertson and Clare Wardman as the first artists in residence at Wharepuke in Kerikeri.

Following an invitation from the directors of Art at Wharepuke Gallery, Tania Booth and Mark Graver, to exhibit in New Zealand the project developed into an international residency.

During the residency period they collaborated with Master Printmaker Mark Graver at the Wharepuke Print Studio, New Zealand’s only dedicated non toxic printmaking workshop, to develop new prints, and they made works on paper to compliment major works shipped from their Porthmeor Studio in St.Ives, Cornwall.

Iain and Clare gave a talk to enthusiastic North Tec art students and had an open floor talk at Art at Wharepuke.
