Continuing our policy of bringing you new developments in contemporary art established by the exhibitions of Neil Dawson, Don Peebles, Ralph Hotere and Barry Cleavin; fifteen young 'New Canterbury Contemporaries' will exhibit from September 14 to October 10.

When selecting the artists, it became evident that to achieve a cohesive exhibition we would have to make a selection based not only on quality but also on the type of work. For this latter reason, certain people have been excluded because of the focus of the exhibition. Our show will not represent all that is happening: instead it will bring together the work of certain artists whose concerns seem to contain a mutual empathy.

The exhibition will cover painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and drawing by: John Hurrell, Pauline Trengrove, Bruce Robinson, Peter Wolden, Graham Snowden, Bing Dawe, Neil Dawson, Simon Allison, Harvey Taylor, Michael Reed, Glenn Jowitt, Paul Johns, Murray Hedwig, Michael Ebel and the late Mark de la Mare.
