Exhibiting at Photospace Gallery

Photospace Gallery has been dedicated to presenting photography as an art form and means of communication since it opened on 10 December, 1998. The gallery has hosted literally hundreds of exhibitions by emerging and established artists from New Zealand and some from overseas.

Photospace Gallery represents a number of artists and exhibits their work regularly, but the gallery is open to offering new and emerging photographers and curators opportunities to exhibit photography.

Exhibition proposals should include:
  • outline of project - exhibition title, theme, background, time frame to completion
  • medium used, number & size of images, presentation method
  • examples of finished or developmental work (jpegs or pdf preferred)
  • brief bio of photographer/curator, incl. photographic study & qualifications, previous exhibitions, publications, awards, residencies, etc. (Note: we are open to new photographers who may not have substantial artist bios.)

A few Don'ts - some of which may also apply when approaching other galleries:
  • Showing up with your work for viewing without having made an appointment
  • Submitting portfolios of travel, scenic or nature photos, including 'abstract nature' images, unless they're really amazingly good
  • Sending links to sites with loads of your photos on and expecting me to curate your exhibition from it (see Exhibition Proposals, above).

Most proposals are made by email to [email protected]  See contact for postal/street address, etc. You're welcome to make an appointment to discuss your exhibition ideas personally, but have a look through the gallery's past few years of exhibitions first.

If you are interested in working through an exhibition project as part of a photography course, please see Photocourse 4, which is run from Photospace Gallery and supervised by John Williams and James Gilberd. We also offer Photocourse 3, which is aimed at producing a group photographic exhibition.

Click on the graphics on the right to see gallery rooms.  The wall dimensions give the amount of usable, clear wall space. The room will be chosen to suit the work to be exhibited, and is of course dependent on availability. Exhibition planning and room allocation typically runs 12-18 months ahead.
