underfoot is a group exhibition that includes works by Māori, Pākehā, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists from Aotearoa and Australia for which organic earth matter (whenua) is utilised in a range of poetic ways to quite literally give body and voice to the land.
Connecting recent material enquiries by contemporary artists from the region, the exhibition emphasises a sentient, inextricable relation to earth through a spectrum of geological conditions and potentialities.
Within increasingly desperate ecological contexts, underfoot draws on precolonial and speculative modes to engage a more reciprocal dialogue between us and the subterranean make-up of our home planet.
