Opening at Gambia Castle and S/F: Saturday 10 July 3pm
In Robert Bolano's novel 2666, Amalfitano is deeply confounded by his possession of a certain book. Moving to Sonora in the north of Mexico he unpacks his library but can not recall how he has come to have a copy of Rafael Dieste's 'Testamento geometrico'. He wonders if perhaps something terrible occurred when he bought it that led him to forget the purchase completely. "Although if I had seen something like that, thought Amalfitano, I would surely remember it now or at least retain a vague memory of it. I wouldn't remember the 'Testamento geometrico', but I would remember whatever had made me forget the 'Testamento geometrico'."
It often takes one event to jog another. In January 2010 Fiona Connor, Louise Menzies, Sanne Mestrom and Kate Newby undertook an independent residency at Soma in Mexico City. 'Carry on or stow away' draws on the artists experiences and makes visible disparate connections and conversations of exchange.

Gambia Castle presents:
Oskar Dawicki
The Last Polish Artist
26 February – 27 March 2010
Opening: Friday 26 February 6-8pm
Gambia Castle is pleased to introduce the practice of Oskar Dawicki (b. 1971),
presenting a suite of works ranging over ten years, carefully selected with the
artist for this occasion.
Considered by some the most unusual and original artist working out of Poland today
and too easily misunderstood by others as an, albeit hilariously self-effacing,
prankster, Dawicki’s work is at once critically responsive to the conditions of its
production and darkly existential.
Beginning with an education in painting and drawing and growing rapidly through a
prodigious number of early experiments with performance and explorations in new
media (often as it was becoming obsolete), Dawicki’s practice now encompasses these
alongside sculpture, film and installation. The sum total reveals a sustained
concern for the universal (including the animal and the plant worlds) cut across by
the deeply personal and willfully autobiographical.
Recent exhibitions include: 'Manifesta 7 -The European Biennial of Contemporary
Art,' Trento 2009, '3xYes - Recent acquisitions to the collection of the Museum of
Modern Art,' Warsaw 2010 and forthcoming: 'Early Years,' Kunst Werke, Berlin 2010.

PICNIC
9-12 December 2009
Private view: Tuesday 8 December 2009 6-8pm
Wednesday - Saturday 12-6pm
Level 3, Britomart Masonic House
30-32 Customs Street East
Auckland
New Zealand
Gambia Castle invites you to the opening of PICNIC - an exhibition of new paintings
by Andrew Barber.
Suspended somewhere between big-deal modernist abstraction and modest Sunday
painting, Barber's new work interrogates the histories and conventions of painting
with cavalier disregard of their supposed sanctity. Deconstructing and
reconstructing paintings through their basic elements - canvas, paint, wood
stretchers - Barber's works wear the signs of their production on the outside, with
visible underpainting, smudges and areas of raw ground. Taking the familiar
trappings of the upper middle-class as his subject matter, Barber's hazy landscapes
(sourced from high-end real estate brochures), tennis courts, vases of flowers and
tartans overstate the painting's status as commodity in contrast to his own
tradesman-like attitude to production.
Barber's recent exhibitions include: Dreamhome / Shithouse, Gambia Castle, Auckland
(2009); Lean, Starkwhite, Auckland (2008); Six man stand-up tent, a tale of
redemption, Gambia Castle (2008); Country Painting, Starkwhite (2007); Andrew
Barber, Gambia Castle (2007) and 90% and Untitled (with John Reynolds), Ramp
Gallery, Hamilton (2007). His work has also been represented in: Leisure Suite,
LeRoy Neiman Gallery, New York (2008); HEADWAY New Artists show, Artspace, Auckland
(2006); and in Speculation, the publication project for the 2007 Venice Biennale.
PICNIC will be held off-site in Barber’s studio on Level 3 of Britomart’s
Masonic House.
RSVP essential to sarah@gambiacastle.net
For further inquiries or to preview the work please contact the gallery directly.

Gambia Castle presents:
Louise Menzies
"Move Your Arms in Circles"
4-19 December 2009
Opening: Thursday 3 December 6-8pm
In an era of gym subscriptions and fitness stores it may be hard to believe, but
Western medicine only connected exercise with physical health in the mid-twentieth
century. The incidence of heart attacks amongst London transport workers "
stair-climbing bus conductors versus seat-bound bus drivers" revealed to Dr Jerry
Morris that men of similar social class and occupation were healthier if they moved
around more through their day. He published this result in 1953. Much earlier,
though, European Modernsim was all about the collapse of "sport" into
"exercise", as part of its quest to rediscover sun and clean air after
industrialisation. Emphasising either spirit and expression or the body itself as a
machine, from Jacques-Dalcroze's eurythmics to the Mesendieck system, formalised
exercise sought to supplement a less physically vigorous world of work.
Louise Menzies' 'Move Your Arms In Circles' invites us to consider
exercise-like movement, the investments it may carry, and more broadly the ways we
might find connections between the physical, the mental and the spiritual. Central
to the exhibition, the 16mm film 'Peloha' shows someone following a routine of
bends and stretches. Neither tai chi nor yoga, jazzercise nor pilates, its time and
place are obscure. What we can not easily see is that the location is a house of the
same name (a contraction of 'peace, love and harmony') in Havelock North, the
international headquarters of the School of Radiant Living, founded by an English
psychologist Herbert Sutcliffe in the 1930s and active until the 1980s.
Characteristically, Menzies abstracts from a highly specific reference to foreground
aspects of the aesthetics of material she responds to, allowing us to make
connections to general questions and our current situation.
An artist's publication featuring writing by Anna Sanderson will be available for
sale during 'Move Your Arms In Circles for $5.00'; an insert for an expanded
artist's book that is to be published by Clouds in 2010.

Zealand Ltd & Creative New Zealand.

Black Perils and Pearls: ‘Ed Grothus' Doomsday Stones’
22 August – 19 September 2009
***Opening: Saturday 22 August 4-6pm***
Gambia Castle is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Melbourne-based
artist, Nicholas Mangan.
Black Perils and Pearls introduces a new short film by Mangan about Ed Grothus -
one-time employee of the USA’s largest nuclear weapon design centre, the Los Alamos
National Laboratory (LANL), New Mexico.
Founded during World War II, LANL was home to the infamous Manhattan Project and
responsible for the manufacture of ‘Little Boy’ and ‘Fat Man’ - the atomic bombs
that would wipe out Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Grothus retired from this position at
LANL during the Vietnam War and has since dedicated his time to anti-nuclear
activism – lobbying the media and building monuments, as well as gathering equipment
and artifacts for The Black Hole, his ‘museum of nuclear waste’, and battling cancer
– a remarkably common problem for residents of Los Alamos.
Mangan’s film follows Grothus’ as he relays apocalyptic prophecies, condemns the
production of nuclear weapons and finally introduces his ‘Doomsday Stones’ - giant
twin obelisks carved from over 40 tonnes of granite that sit on a base inscribed
with the story of Los Alamos and Nuclear warfare in 15 different languages -
self-proclaimed Rosetta Stones for the new millennium.
Nicholas Mangan’s recent solo exhibitions include: Between a rock and a hard place,
Project Space, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Comparative material,
Projects @ 230 Young Street Fitzroy/Sutton Gallery, Melbourne; and The Colony,
Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Melbourne. Mangan’s work has been included in
group exhibitions such as: SITE International Biennale, Santa Fe; The Shadow
Cabinet, de Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam; Lost and Found: an archeology of the
present, TarraWarra Biennial, Melbourne; Adventures with Form in Space: The Fourth
Balnaves Foundation Sculpture Project, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and
Uncanny Nature, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne.
Black Perils and Pearls: ‘Ed Grothus's Dooms Day Stones’ will be Mangan’s first solo
exhibition in New Zealand.

A klepsydra is a kind of death notice, a standard format published in Polish
newspapers and pasted around appropriate sites - apartment building, local church,
and workplace - of the deceased.
Malone Umiera is a Warsaw City Library copy of a book written in French by Samuel
Beckett in 1951, and translated by him into English and published as Malone Dies in
1956.
Portret Trumienny are portraits dating from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of
the 17th and 18th centuries that were hexagonal in shape and placed on the head-end
of a coffin during elaborate funerals of the time which also included actors playing
the part of the deceased and extravagant constructions known as castrum doloris
(castles of grief).
The Dead Class, 1975, is the best known of plays by Tadeusz Kantor, one of Poland’s
most esteemed neo-avant-garde artists and it’s most internationally celebrated
dramaturge.

Opening: Friday 10 July, 6pm
In the building: Fiona Connor, William Hsu, Daniel Malone, Kate Newby, Martyn Reynolds, Peter Trevelyan
Online project: Amit Charan, Narrow Gauge, Kelvin Soh
Curated by Laura Preston
Nine artists, designers and writers have been invited to produce new works that speculate on the future by envisaging ‘what could happen next’. Basing their propositions on their understanding of the current situation and using the structures of the building and the online space of the gallery website, they will develop works that address the pertinent issue of whether contemporary art can have political efficacy as a tool for re-engaging with and imagining the future.
A public programme of Night talks and sound performances will accompany this exhibition project.
