Greer Twiss Artist Talk this Saturday 13 March 1-2pm
We are very fortunate to have the gallery back open this week, enabling us to share our newest exhibition with you.
In anticipation of Greer Twiss’ sculpture Flight Support for Albatross and its upcoming installation on Devonport’s Victoria Wharf, the artist is exhibiting a series of maquettes and early works here at Depot Artspace.
In the company of these miniatures, an artist’s talk scheduled for Saturday 13th of March will offer a rare glimpse into Twiss’ creative process for each iteration of Flight Support for Albatross.
First installed on Quay Street, the sculpture has undergone a series of changes and will be introduced to the wharf in the coming weeks. This satellite exhibition will provide viewers with further context for the work; how it fits thematically into the sculptor’s decades-long practice, what changes have been made since it was first commissioned in 2003, and why Twiss has embraced the current re-siting as an opportunity to re-design the sculpture.

I twinkle and glow, guiding paths in the snow.
I’m not the sun, moon, or star in the sky,
yet on rooftops and trees, you’ll see me up high.
What am I?

Impersonating tow truck drivers
Police are warning drivers across Tāmaki Makarau to be on the lookout for dodgy tow truck drivers following several incidents in the past few months.
Motorists are being warned of a small group of people pretending to be tow truck drivers, committing crimes by using unregistered tow trucks to pick up vehicles.
Sergeant Suzannah Kimber, Counties Manukau Police, says the group steals vehicles by pretending to legitimately tow them before disposing of the vehicles.
“Recently these offenders towed a member of the public’s vehicle in plain sight.
“Members of the public drove past this tow truck while they were loading it up as it just looked normal.
“They even go as far as wearing high-visibility clothing.”
Sergeant Kimber says Police are taking the opportunity to remind the community that all tow trucks will have external sign writing with the company name and be able to produce their logbook if asked.
“They also must be registered as a transport operator.
“If you see a tow truck without any distinguishing features towing cars, please call Police immediately.”
