TOOLS OF THE TRADE at Paul Nache Gallery in Gisborne

Hangline, White Fungus studio, 2014

White Fungus will be part of the exhibition Tools of the Trade which is about to open at Paul Nache Gallery in Gisborne, New Zealand this Friday, March 7. Curated by the Justin Jade Morgan, the exhibition is a collaborative project which asks participants to enter one of the tools behind their labor, with essentiality to the process being the primary criteria. White Fungus has entered from their studio a hangline. White Fungus: "When we work on an issue, or any project, or just any time at all, we always have a hanglines on which we clip images and notes directly or indirectly to what we're currently working on. We really believe in a tactile approach to working, even though what are ultimately creating is ones and zeroes applied to ink. But before that digital level there are always several layers of tactility. And this hangline is an example of a simple tool and mechanism which we think in a sense through matter. But this is a conceptual layer that is not visible in the end result."   Tools of the Trade runs at Paul Nache from March 7-29.  The exhibitions features objects provided by Judy Millar, Rohan Wealleans, Ryan Ballinger, Gary Peters, Reuben Paterson, Roger Boyce, Tiffany Singh, Mark Harvey, Samin Son, Marc Freeman, Sanjay Theodore, Bevan Shaw, Raewyn Turner, Scott Gardiner, Hye Rim Lee, Shannon Novak, Ben Pearce, Janine Randerson, Marie Shannon, Douglas Stichbury, Ian-John Hutchinson, Zena Elliot, Chris Wells, Evan Woodruffe, Matt Arbuckle, Ben Pearce, Otis Frizzell, Sian Torrington, Megan Dunn, Michelle Osbourne, Juan Ford, David Creed, Angela Rossitto, Shane McGrath, Matt Couper, Brydee Rood, James R Ford, Mark Curtis, Mike Weston, White Fungus, Sonya Lacey, Ged Guy, Jamie Chapman, Diane Scott, Anne-Marie Jean, Glen Burrell, Denise Batchelor, Paul Walsh, Isla Osborne, Carman Rogers, Ian Clothier, Teresa Goodin, Rozanna Lee, Matt Dowman, Douglas Stichbury, Amber Pearson, Glen Snow, Tony Nicholls, Josephine Cachemaille, Martin Langdon, Jasmine McCracken, Brit Bunkley, Natalie Guy, Jarad Bryant.
