Hi All,
Another quick update as we move back to Lockdown Level 1 in Auckland. Check out Level 1 here: https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-system/alert-level-1/
Opticmix will continue to operate social distancing, as well as cleaning of all work, packing and work spaces to keep clients and ourselves safe.
Cheers,
Kevin

“Since his first visit to the area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in northern Ukraine in 2013, Mexican-born artist Raúl Ortega Ayala has been involved in a seven-year research project centered on what he calls ‘sites of amnesia and historical detritus’.”
Currently showing at Te Tuhi in Pakuranga, this is a great exhibition to go and engage in post lock-down. Opticmix printed some large format photographic prints that are displayed alongside large scale wallpaper prints.
“The Zone” is a current exhibition running until the 16th of August 2020.

“Pati Solomona Tyrell is a founding member of Auckland’s Fafswag collective, whose members proudly celebrate their LGBTQ Pacific-Islander identities. Photographing himself and his circle in their performance guises, his work traverses the documentary and the directorial.”
Opticmix had the pleasure of printing work for Pati for the “Orcales” Exhibtion at Wellington City Gallery.
These exhibited works are all large format (900mm x 600mm) photographic prints on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth (305gsm).
“Oracles” is a current exhibition running until the 6th of September 2020.
