Georgia Arnold | Pleasure Garden | Objectspace, Christchurch
Concurrent to her new solo exhibition with Melanie Roger Gallery, Georgia Arnold has earlier work in 'Pleasure Garden' 8 November - 4 December 2025 at Sir Miles Warren Gallery in Christchurch as part of Objectspace's programme.
Ĺtautahi Christchurch’s title of the ‘garden city’ (held proudly for over 100 years) makes it the perfect location to explore the garden as a source of creativity, experimentation, communion, and nourishment.
Through a host of objects made in reverence to the natural world, 'Pleasure Garden explores the joys of being outside, whether within the manicured constraints of prim courtyards, hand-tended market gardens, or overgrown and rambling backyards. Gardens tell us much about people’s relationships to place and nature, and give us opportunities to cultivate intimate connections with our immediate environments.
Curated by Zoe Black and Jordan Davey-Emms, 'Pleasure Garden' assembles artists who are called to the whenua for inspiration, including new commissions from Emma Wallbanks, Amelia Fagence and Mitchell Coll from Fabric Architecture, alongside a lush crop of artists from across the motu including Neke Moa, Lizzy Leckie, Turumeke Harrington, Georgia Tikaputini Douglas Hood, Georgia Arnold, Cindy Huang, and Vanessa Arthur.
