Opticmix Open for Business 2022 at Traffic Light Red.

Posted on by opticadmin

 

Traffic Light Red:
  • We will continue to offer contactless pickup and drop offs. To date, this has worked well, as has the sending test proofs give or take a few hiccups owing to stretched courier services in Auckland.
  • We will continue to send test prints to clients at our cost.
  • The Studio will remain closed to clients until Auckland hits
    Traffic Light orange. 

We’re a fully vaccinated team and, when the studio is open to clients again, scanning in and vaccine passes will be necessary as part of our plan to keep ourselves, staff and clients safe.

 

 

 

Raúl Ortega Ayala “The Zone” – Te Tuhi

Posted on by opticadmin

“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.
