Opening today at GRACE, AUT Toi Ataata MVA whānau brunelle dias primbs’ “mysterium rationis” from 3pm!

Grace,
Rationalist House,
64 Symonds St, Tāmaki Makaurau
Open Fri 11-4, Sat 11-4, & by appointment

-
In mysterium rationis, brunelle dias primbs enacts a reciprocal touch between image and world, where paintings emerge as both witness and offering. The works gather souvenirs of lived and inherited experience, as memory and image oscillate across the canvas. Shaped by the conditions of tourism and family travel, the “old world” empire is reframed through faith, migration, and inheritance. Within this shifting ground, dias primbs traces a consciousness unfolding between reverence and critique.

-
brunelle dias primbs (India, Aotearoa New Zealand) is a painter who attends to the figure and its painterly ground. Often diaristic, her practice explores ideas of temporality, sacredness, and the interconnection between the self and its environment. dias primbs holds a Master of Visual Arts from AUT School of Art and Design.

“As a special closing event for the exhibition Housing Relations, Te Wai Ngutu Kākā is pleased to stage a panel discussion that brings together four lens-based artists to discuss their distinct and diverse approaches to collaboration. Each practitioner has collaborated extensively across their careers for highly specific reasons, be it to introduce raw experimentation into their practice, to extend forums for discourse and exchange, or as a means of broadening and deepening their approach to practice-based research in ways that overcome the limitations of singular authorship.”
