Hybrid Spring
Enjoy Gallery, Wellington.
Hybrid Spring, an exhibition by Deborah Rundle and Layne Waerea explores contemporary notions of social hope. Resisting the cultural imperatives of individual resilience, achievement and competition that have become deeply associated with optimism, both artists grapple with the complexities of hope, specifically in relation to collectivity.
An interest in the sociopolitics of capitalism and activism is ever-present in the work of Rundle and Waerea. In the past, they have worked together, both collaboratively and in artistic collectives to explore the vigour of collective resistance—an investigation that continues to anchor conversations between their individual practices in Hybrid Spring.
