Shed in Transition

Just qui­et­ly, there’s an intrigu­ing lit­tle exhi­bi­tion on at Shed 11 until Sun­day: “Tran­si­tions” is a col­lec­tion of images by pho­tog­ra­phy stu­dents at Massey Uni­ver­si­ty. All the pho­tographs are of the water­front, cov­er­ing diverse sub­jects such as the vis­it­ing “Big Lift” ship, the inner work­ings of the Brew­ery and the way that marine life man­ages to colonise even rub­bish and pol­lu­tants.

It’s all a lit­tle bit self-ref­er­en­tial, since many of the images inves­ti­gate the ever-chang­ing nature of the water­front, and the venue itself looks like­ly to see a sig­nif­i­cant change soon. There are plans afoot to make it the per­ma­nent home of the New Zealand Por­trait Gallery and the New Zealand Cen­tre for Pho­tog­ra­phy. The pho­tog­ra­phy theme con­tin­ues next week with the start of the World Press Pho­to 06 exhi­bi­tion.
