Exhibition
Edwards + Johann: Mutabilities—propositions to an unknown universe
14 September 2024 – 9 February 2025
Transformation, unpredictability and magic happen when unrelated worlds meet.
Interview
A Space for Conversation
Ōtautahi Christchurch-based artists Victoria Edwards and Ina Johann have worked in artistic collaboration as Edwards + Johann since 2007. They take an interdisciplinary approach to art- making, combining photography, drawing, collage, performance, video and sculpture.
Curator Felicity Milburn spoke with the pair shortly after their month-long residency at Sutton House, during which they prepared sculptures for their upcoming Gallery exhibition. Edwards + Johann: Mutabilities—propositions to an unknown universe will combine these with other works made across the last five years to investigate ideas of response to place, connection and transformation. All of the works carry the indelible resonance of the unforgettable, and tragically unpredictable, geothermal environment of Whakaari White Island, which Edwards + Johann visited in 2018, prior to its devastating 2019 eruption.
