ARTIST PROFILE: ALEXANDER SARSFIELD Don’t miss seeing Alexander’s installation in our current exhibition in the main space, ‘Paradise*’. Curated by Dan Toua, this group exhibition investigates the idea of the Pacific region still being thought of as a ‘paradise’, and the complex underbelly that actually exists. Through various mediums the artists interrogate identity, queerness, connection, representation, and what it means to be Pasifika in today’s context of globalism, diaspora, migration and diversity. ‘Paradise*’ continues until Saturday 4 October 2025.
