SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY, 2019 Colin McCahon’s Muriwai Studio Floor . In 1984 I photographed Colin McCahon at his home in Auckland. Some years later in 2005 I came across his studio in Muriwai. This studio was owned by Colin and Anne from 1969 to 1978 and was almost completely unrecognisable from the garage/shed it once was except for the floor which was in original condition well preserved under carpet overlay. The new owners of the property were in the final stages of renovating the studio in order to sell it and buy a new septic tank. Remarkably McCahon’s own family were under the impression the studio no longer existed, they considered it nothing more than a pile of old rotten floor boards, and his biographer along with art bureaucrats in Aotearoa/New Zealand viewed it as having no real significance. I disagree with their sentiments, not only because it was well known that having this studio was a life long dream for McCahon enabling him to paint many of his largest and most important paintings including; Victory over Death, Gate 111 series, and the Tuhoe Urewera Murals, but also because it is imbued with the Mana of the Whakapapa and the stories that were laid down upon it. Even McCahon himself did not separate the secular from the sacred and always insisted on respect for the inherent spirit held within a work, he also indicated the importance of accepting a Maori view point and questioned mono cultural aspects of our culture. In terms of ‘Te Ao Maori’ Colin McCahon’s Muriwai Studio Floor is significant, it is a taonga and it deserves to be preserved in a similar way to Jackson Pollock’s studio floor https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/pkhouse/housestudio.php or closer to home, Janet Frame’s writing desk now housed at the International Institute of Modern Letters https://discover.stqry.com/v/literature-and-culture/s/cf4b9842-ba93-407e-84ed-4aa87f90de76 In 2005 Carol and I purchased this studio in order to save the floor from being destroyed, it is now safely stored away in Mokau, North Taranaki. The photographs in this exhibition were made just before the floor was carefully removed from the building, this is the first time these photographs have ever been shown. This exhibition was made possible thanks to the generous support of Creative New Zealand Funding. .

The Auckland Festival of Photography 2019 is NZ's premium international photographic festival, that brings together photographers, curators, students, amateurs and professionals for the aim of encouraging the public to celebrate the art of photography. Kevin Capon's photographs will be on exhibition during the festival at Sanderson Contemporary Art Gallery in Auckland. "His works are eclectic. From the grotesque to sublime beauty, he photographs extremes and all facets of life's gritty yet beautiful path" http://www.photographyfestival.org.nz/programme/index.cfmtheme=Exhibitions&exhibition_date=1%20june%202019 . Verve Magazine artical, June 2019 "Kevin Capon turns everyday items into confrontational portraits; a book taped to a wall, a branch from a rose bush, a close up of a tattooed hand with a missing finger – all of his subjects stand stark as statements within themselves. Documenting such common items as if they are curiosities evokes broader real-world issues around our own societal truths, which can leave you feeling quietly unnerved" https://www.vervemagazine.co.nz/art-of-june/ .

The film 'Merata: How Mum Decolonised the Screen' is directed by Heperi Mita and produced by Chelsea Winstanley, Tearepa Kahi and Cliff Curtis. Merata Mita, pioneering Māori filmmaker and international champion of women in indigenous film, is celebrated by her youngest son, archivist Heperi Mita, collaborating with his siblings to deliver a richly personal portrait. Best known for her films Bastion Point: Day 507 and Patu! – on the forcible removal of the occupiers of the disputed land, and the nascent protest movement against the 1981 Springbok Tour – were both absolute triumphs of observational documentary making in front-line conditions. These films attracted significant international attention and praise. “The revolution isn’t just running out with a gun. If a film I make causes indigenous people to feel stronger about themselves, then I’m achieving something worthwhile for the revolution.” Merata Mita . . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ . . . . . . . .

Mokau Museum and Gallery Winners of the Service IQ Museum Visitor Experience Award 2017 Kevin Capon: Portraits 1984-85 15 December, 2017 - 25 January, 2018 .
Doris Lusk, Painter, Queenstown, New Zealand 1985 To coincide with the second anniversary of the opening of the Mokau Museum Art Gallery I will be showing 26 portraits selected by Carol Te Teira Capon from our collection of 40-unique gold/selenium toned gelatin silver 10 x 8 inch contact prints shown at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the Dowse Art Museum in the 1980’s. You can read about these portraits here: http://mokaumuseum.nz/exhibition/kevin-capon-portraits-1984-85/ And the Taranaki Daily News article here: https://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/lifestyle/99622361/small-seaside-gallery-nabs-exhibition-of-national-significance The Mokau Museum and Gallery under the guidance of Jan Brown and the volunteer staff are doing a fantastic job not only in creating an outstanding venue for displaying local and regional artifacts and artworks, but also in binding together a community with a long history of division. The Museum’s collection consists of approximately 3000 artefacts including taonga, social history and natural history. Numerous photographs and archives make up the rest of the collection. In early 2016 the Mokau Museum and Gallery was featured in the excellent TV series 'Heritage Rescue' and soon after became the Winners of the Service IQ Museum Visitor Experience Award 2017. . . ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ . . . . .

Tessa, 2012 . Bright Light, Soft Launch brings together emerging and established artists exploring representations of the figure through image making. The artists featured take a poetic and nuanced approach to portrait photography, teasing out characters and personas and presenting their subjects in a kaleidoscope of ways. Some intend to blur and muddle typical perceptions; others mix stereotypes and narratives with nostalgia and tradition. All present a different way of contemplating how the figure can be captured through a lens.

Pink, 2005 C-Type Chromogenic Print, 1065 x 1460mm . From deadpan to deadly in new photography show at City Art Rooms New Zealand based artist, Kevin Capon, presents a major solo exhibition of his photographic work spanning 20 years. The exhibition, Echo, features traditional black and white photographs hand-printed by the artist in the darkroom, in addition to more contemporary colour and digital processes. In an unusual twist, Capon has not photographed all of the images. They come from a mixture of sources, including recent news stories covering war, outdated advertisements, and images found at a local garage sale. These ‘borrowed’ and manipulated images are then interspersed with biographical photos and deadpan images of objects shot in the studio like catalogue products. By using both found and his own original imagery, Kevin Capon questions the authorship and ownership of the millions of images we encounter everyday. The series also explores the multiple functions and iterations of photography as a medium – to document and catalogue, preserve memories, communicate information, spread propaganda, and make us buy things. . __________________________________________________________________________________________________ . . . Bridge Art Fair-Berlin . 30 October - 2 November 2008 . . .
Electroblitz-electronic insect control 2006 C-Type Chromogenic print, 1200 x 1500mm Bridge Art Fair is an invitational satellite art fair for emerging galleries that coincides with the weekend of Art Forum Berlin, attracting thousands of visitors from across the world. Envisioned as a more experimental platform than traditional art fairs, Bridge eschews the white cube 'booth' model in favour of occupying an entire apartment block in the thriving Mitte district, which is home to the important Kunst-Werke (KW) Institute of Contemporary Art and leading Auguststrasse galleries. The site-specific location offers a unique experience in curating works, which will be integrated into the building's historic setting. . . ____________________________________________________________________________________ . The Brothel Without Walls, Group Exhibition 27 May - 21 June 2008 .
Hyperhidrosis 2004 Gelatin Silver Print, 361x 490mm The advent of photography transformed society into ‘the brothel without walls’, according to philosopher and media theorist Marshall McLuhan. Visual fantasies initiated the rampant consumption and commercialisation of all aspects of everyday life. The photographers in this dynamic group exhibition reveal how photography has engaged and altered our behavior in the ways we shop, love, arrange our homes, travel, and engage with media, while questioning the surfaces of a picture-perfect world. . . _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ . Portraits 1984/85, Solo exhibition Campbell Grant Galleries 1 - 26 July 2008 . . Colin McCahon 1984, Gelatin Silver Contact Print 8 x 10 inch gold/selenium toned. Kevin Capon’s photographic project was undertaken over the period 1984-85, with funding received from the QEII Arts Council. A series of 40 black-and-white portraits of prominent New Zealanders from within the arts community (of which 27 will be shown in this exhibition), this body of work offers a fascinating insight into a particular moment in this country’s cultural heritage. Including images of key figures from the visual arts, architecture, literature, dance, theatre, and television, (selected by the Arts Council) Capon has produced an incisive and aesthetically compelling archive. These photographs occupy an interesting position between traditional notions of the portrait and the more contemporary concept of ‘the face’. Traditionally thought of as an object that captures something of the unique character of the sitter, more recent theorizing has repositioned the portrait as a complex site that might be constructed in a number of different ways and which often positions the face as a kind of landscape to be explored. How, then, to reconcile this abstract terrain of the face with the revelation of individual personality? Speaking of these works, Capon articulates his interest in pursuing a “raw simplicity”, or more specifically in exploring how much of an individual’s character can be revealed by showing as little as possible. In this sense, Capon’s images shift between the abstract and the figurative, between pure description and the inscription of identity. There is a certain severity in this descriptive approach. The close-up, tightly cropped images were produced using a large format camera that allowed the most minute of details to be recorded. Each photograph offers an uncompromising rendering of its subject where every crease, pore or imperfection is made visible. This is perhaps most vividly played out in the images of Jeffery Harris, Merata Mita, Eric H McCormick or Tim Shadbolt. Many of the images are nonetheless instantly recognisable and give us a glimpse of the inner life of the individual. Doris Lusk appears with her trademark dark, rounded glasses. Ralph Hotere is unmistakable with his wild hair and wiry moustache. Other pictures capture a more allusive quality, from the eccentric flair of choreographer Shona Dunlop MacTavish to the intense, straightforward gaze of Sir Miles Warren and the wry glint of Angela D’Audney. Certain of the photographs have a stilled, otherworldly atmosphere. With his expressionless face and closed eyes, Raymond Hawthorne’s portrait has a ghostly feel, taking on the appearance of a post-mortem photograph. There is a distant wide-eyed quality in the photograph of Ellie Smith that evokes a sense of the unreal, making her appear more doll-like than human. A similar stillness and far away gaze can also be seen in the portrait of Cilla McQueen, although this image is enlivened by the camera angle that foregrounds the thick, quirky lenses of McQueen’s glasses. The image of Colin McCahon is particularly striking, and perhaps somewhat unsettling. In this photograph the heroic figure of New Zealand painting is pictured with downcast eyes as a vulnerable old man. The photo is particularly poignant as it was taken at the request of Anne McCahon, who had previously seen and admired Capon’s work, and is one of the few photographs of McCahon taken during this period of his life. Barbara Garrie 24 June 2008 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ . The Waitomo Caves whole plate glass negatives by Sydney Benjamin Taylor 1924 .
In my collection of photographs stored away in the original wooden box made of Kauri is 29 whole plate glass negatives (6,1/2" x 8,1/2") of the Waitomo Caves made in the early 1920's by Sydney Benjamin Taylor. Sydney Benjamin Taylor was born in Port Chalmers 1887 and was one of a small group of pioneering New Zealand cinematographers and photographers who worked for the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts which was established in 1901. The Government Tourist Department was charged with improving facilities for tourists and encouraging international visitors to New Zealand, it was the first government department in the world set up solely to develop and promote a nation’s tourism market. Sydney Taylor filmed the NZEF re-enforcements in training for the front and a copy was sent to the NZ High Commission in London in late 1915 which received world wide distribution through Pathe Gazette L WE, Taylor had filmed what the NZ Truth labelled New Zealand's "First gamble in human life". Taylor's film scenes in NZ were shown at the San Francisco Exhibition in 1915 and the Southern Alps of NZ toured in both New Zealand and Australia in 1918. These whole plate glass negatives are of national importance and capable of producing some of the finest photographs of the Waitomo Caves in existence pre-1925, as such I will be releasing a limited edition of 18 Gelatin Silver contact prints made directly from these negatives in 2013/14 at a cost of $8500, the photographs will come mounted and over matted on 100% acid free conservation board. To receive further information on Sydney B. Taylor or to purchase a set of these prints please contact me direct. kevin@capon.co.nz A selection of 5 images from the collection of 18 are displayed on this site including what is believed to be evidence of the first ever film made inside the Waitomo Caves by a New Zealand cinematographer, also above is a glass negative of Guide Huti.
____________Along with my collection of Taylor's Whole Glass Plate Negatives is a small number of Imperial Dry Plate Glass Negatives (140 x 88mm) taken during the time he worked as a cinematographer and photographer for The Government Tourist Department (1912 - 1923) these photographs were made in the Cook Islands either in 1919 or in 1920 when Taylor accompanied Lord Ranfurly to Fiji, Samoa and Rarotonga. Unfortunately no film footage exists from this expedition as the highly flammable nitrate film was likely destroyed in a fire, other government films made around this time were melted down to make belt buckles during the second world war.______________
