Wallace Arts Trust at the Pah Homestead - John Reynolds - Smoke & Mirrors - 11/03/2022
Presented in association with Auckland Arts Festival 2022
"With this new project John Reynolds mixes rainwater with acrylics, gallows humour
with dead seriousness, and ponders the seemingly simple question, 'are we there yet?'
Slogans and provocations quoting activists, notably Greta Thunberg, spill across a wordy
array of paintings and placard installations. A major solo show, Smoke & Mirrors claims
that creativity is activism, and has a vital role regarding catastrophic climate change."
