Mario van Horrik & Petra Dubach Trans(port)(l)ation
August 6 – September 19

A long-running project presented across Europe, Asia, and the USA since 2006, in which public
transport timetables are transposed into paper scores for hand-cranked music boxes. For their
Auckland presentation, three music boxes installed in the gallery are each driven by scores
derived from local bus and ferry timetables. Visitors playing the boxes at their own pace
collectively enact an aleatoric sonic journey between two points in the city — installation,
score, and quiet conceptual performance simultaneously.

Sina Leo Threads
October 9 – November 21

A new work exploring accumulation and the passage of creative time. Sina invites a series of
musicians to improvise in sequential solo recording sessions — each performer hearing a
layered recording of all previous sessions as they play. In parallel, Sina paints on a single large
canvas throughout, the image building across each session as the recordings do. The finished
exhibition presents the painting and the complete layered recordings together.

Natasha Munro, Ezra Munro, Lucy Pollock The little guys that come out
of me: sit and listen to them
October 9 – November 21

A collaborative installation exploring queer joy, resistance, and the transmutation of personal
struggle into several hand-made improvised creatures built from found objects, clay, and
printed materials. Each creature carries a unique soundtrack delivered through embedded or
concealed speakers, consciously subverting the logic of commercial comfort objects. The
exhibition is accompanied by a live performance with local experimental musicians improvising
in response to the work.

Beth Robertson Foil Tracks
October 9 – November 21

A three-part experimental radio work by Glasgow-based artist Beth Robertson, taking its title
from the scent trail of a hunted animal. Each piece moves from an opening soundscape into
spoken word woven through field recordings, found sound, and drones — three ghost stories
unfolding across a museum, a derelict hospital, and a gallery. Across the trilogy, Robertson
treats recording as a practice of haunting, blurring the boundary between presence and
absence, hunter and hunted, storyteller and listener.
