Artist-run contemporary art trust rotating directors every three years since nineteen eighty-seven.
This guide to Artspace Aotearoa in Auckland opens with an unusual rule its founders wrote into the gallery's charter in 1987: change directors every three years, no matter how well things are going. It follows the string of directors who took that single term, from Mary-Louise Browne onward, and traces the young, unresolved artists who showed here before wider recognition, including Billy Apple, Michael Parekowhai and Francis Upritchard. Listen for what the gallery's founders were reacting against when they set the rule down.
