Est. 2000, Enjoy is a leading independent contemporary art space located in Te Whanganui-a-Tara

Enjoy Contemporary Art Space is the longest running artist-led gallery in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, established in June 2000. Run by artists for artists, Enjoy generates and facilitates artistic experimentation, supporting the creation of new work and challenging artists to take risks, while promoting critical discourse around contemporary practice in Aotearoa. Governed

by a board of trustees, in a Tia Tuarua Co-Chair model, Enjoy strives to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi through our strategic leadership and work with artists. We acknowledge Te Āti Awa/Taranaki ki Te Upoko o Te Ika and the neighbouring Ngāti Toa iwi as the mana whenua of this region and rightful custodians of the land upon which we stand. Enjoy delivers our programme with investment of our primary funders Creative New Zealand Arts Council Toi Aotearoa, and additional support from Wellington City Council, community funding and fundraising initiatives.

Sharon Kivland’s Mes horizons (2013–ongoing) is a series of found and collected vintage seascape postcards, which have been modified with layers of Indian ink that black out the skies—a gesture that displaces their function as souvenir, yet intimates a more fragile relationship with memory.

These are Addressed to You is open today from 11am

From 6pm on Saturday 4 July, join us for a special screening of Les glaneurs et la glaneuse (The Gleaners and I) by French filmmaker Agnès Varda. In the film, Varda explores the subject of gleaning—historically, the gathering of farm produce left after formal harvest. Travelling through rural and urban landscapes, she turns her camera toward those who gather what has been left behind—food, objects, images—outside systems of productivity and profit. Moving between documentary and self-portrait, the film treats gleaning as both a social practice and a way of remembering differently.

This screening is programmed in concert with the exhibition These are Addressed to You, curated by Jess Clifford.

It will be held at Massey Cinema, Block 10 Tokomaru, Pukeahu Mount Cook, Wellington.

This screening is supported by Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts, Massey University.

In These are Addressed to You, a new sound installation by Sarah Rose continues her interest in the body of letters exchanged between American conservationist Rachel Carson and her friend and lover Dorothy Freeman, and recasts absence as something heard as well as felt.

We are very excited to have Sarah joining us all the way from Scotland for a listening next Friday! Book your place through the link in our bio now!

Join artist Sarah Rose for an immersive listening experience set in relation to her sound installation, Redolence. Drawing on ideas of deep listening as well as the work of sound artist Mark Peter Wright, Rose invites audiences into a shifting sonic terrain, foregrounding a shared act of correspondence through sound. Deep listening, as developed by pioneering musician and composer Pauline Oliveros, is an ethical and perceptual practice, a way of expanding attention beyond the human.

This event is programmed in concert with the exhibition These are Addressed to You, curated by Jess Clifford.

Free to attend. Due to limited capacity, please register your spot at the link in our bio.

Sarah Rose explores infrastructures and ecology, focusing on how relations between human and nonhuman life shape their environments. Working with sound, installation and sculpture, her work brings these interactions into perception, attending to how they are sensed, altered, and shared. Her exhibitions include Tramway, Glasgow; V&A Dundee; Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow; and Hospitalfield, Arbroath. She has participated in the Kamias Triennial, Manila, Philippines (2020), and the Brent Biennial, London (2022). She has undertaken residencies at Gasworks, Little Sparta, Hospitalfield, the Banff Centre, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, and Northlands Creative. Rose lives in Glasgow and teaches at Edinburgh College of Art, where she is Programme Director in Photography.

Christian Dimick’s painting practice uses the visual language of childhood as both source and method. Often returning to his own early drawings, Dimick’s works unfold as layered surfaces in which areas are reworked, obscured and rearticulated over time.

Transit Holiday (2026) is a stockpile of materials Abigail Aroha Jensen sent back to Aotearoa from London. In particular, it records the afterlife of a public event at her studio, in which an installation of disposable sanitary bags collected from ScotRail train toilets were inadvertently splattered with drips of black paint, following a failed experiment with a balloon.

Yana Dombrowsky-M’Baye’s work draws on a speculative fiction in which a shifting protagonist addresses the resonance of colonial frictions in the present.

Last sunday, we hosted an editing workshop at the gallery. Huuge mihi to Betty Davis for facilitating with Tendai! And the group of attendees, all with varying backgrounds and experience as editors, for joining.

This workshop grew out of an earlier one at Enjoy facilitated by Coco Solid. We hope to expand on this mahi with future writing and editing workshops for those interested in learning and skill-sharing.
