Art Space

At the Cable Bay winery on Waiheke Island we have an Artspace within the main building and an outdoor space for large sculpture works.

This year Cable Bay is again working with Gow Langsford Gallery to put on a Summer Sculpture Exhibition showcasing many of New Zealand’s finest sculptural works.

Over the summer months Cable Bay will feature sculptural works from a range of established and emerging New Zealand artists. Come face to face with an impressive collection of works by Paul Dibble, David McCracken, Phil Price, Jonathan Campbell and many notable others.

To launch our exciting summer calendar of events and exhibitions we will be hosting an evening of celebration on Thursday 10th December. This is a fabulous opportunity for you to meet the artists and talk about their works while enjoying Cable Bay wines and nibbles as the sun sets. All exhibition pieces will be on sale to the public on the night.

A limited number of tickets for the opening event will be available in November. Keep an eye on our website for further details or email info@cablebayvineyards.co.nz to register your interest.

The Cable Bay Artspace and general grounds are open for casual visitors from 12noon until 5pm everyday.

A few of the pieces which currently make up the Cable Bay landscape:

Graham Bennett

“A PART”

Shown in association with Milford Galleries, Auckland

Graham Bennett’s works often invite exploration of actions or conditions, perhaps prompting thoughts beyond physical attributes and forms to speculation about cultural or social situations.

Through a process involving research, drawing and experimentation Bennett explores ideas using a variety of materials - often combining high technology with a range of low technologies.

Carefully engineered solutions give the illusion of simple constructions. It is the attention to detail, exploration of scale and the complex layering of ideas that is the essence of the work.

One can see maps, navigational and measuring devices in Graham’s sculptures. His forms appear to be alluding to remoteness and geographic ideas, or to oceanic characteristicsunique to New Zealand. He may be asking questions about this land of migrants, journeys, connections of people with place and the issues that confront us. There is no single answer to the multiplicity of questions that may be posed.

Blending old knowledge with new technology Bennett’s referencing of way finding speaks of patterns and relationships, reflects on history and psyche, and rewards engagement both visually and intellectually.

“Immersive Echo”

Exhibited in association with Gow Langsford Gallery, Auckland

"Piupiu"

Konstantin Dimopoulos

Artist’s statement :

Shapes and colours have their own emotional force.

Piupiu is a wind-driven kinetic sculpture that uses line and colour on a three-dimensional rod surface to express a simple beauty of pattern; and the chromatic tension, harmony and rhythm in the form.
