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.
