A very curious museum

In the Museum of Curious Intent
Arlo Edwards, curator and talented Wellington artist, has put together an eclectic multimedia art exhibition showcasing work from ten of Wellington's local established and emerging artists. The show, entitled In the Museum of Curious Intent includes work by Rupert Everest, James Flynn, William Hedley, Jaymi Bizzo Lawrence, Chris Lundquist, Gareth Moon, Roger Morris, Marianne Muggeridge, Freeman White and Arlo Edwards himself.
The exhibition is made up of a range of different mediums including painting, photography and installation. It’s a collaborative exhibition and will delight both artists and viewers alike. Think antique store, Moulin Rouge, cabaret and curios.
Edwards understands artists and the struggles they face. He is community-savvy and a talented artist and curator. Edwards is usually housed at the exhibition so pop in and have a chat with him. He can explain the ashes, monkeys, robotics and suitcases to you.
In the Museum of Curious Intent runs till the 25th of October and is housed at Toi Pōneke Gallery, Able Smith Street, Wellington. Toi Pōneke Gallery exhibits work by solo artists, groups and curators, and gives priority to Wellington-based artists. Hosting around 15 exhibitions a year, the gallery supports contemporary artists, curators and established artists.
