Where Music is Made
Andrew Ross, ARC Building Rehearsal Room
Where Music is Made is a photography exhibition by Andrew Ross. Andrew’s photographs explore the hidden back rooms, studios and dusty rehearsal spaces of musicians around Wellington and several other NZ towns. It offers a fascinating insight into the murky worlds that musicians inhabit, with around 40 large-format black and white photos of current locations as well as long forgotten spaces.
Andrew Ross is a Wellington-based photographer who has actively photographed Wellington's urban landscape since the early 1990s, with emphasis on older buildings, those which are threatened with demolition or significant renovation, and the people who make their lives or livings in the buildings. He is a keen tramper and has a great appreciation of the NZ landscape, which he also photographs. While Ross's photographic oeuvre is essentially documentary, his skill in selecting viewpoint and judging lighting, and his use of a large format camera pushes his work strongly into the sphere of fine art photography.
Exhibition runs August 4-29. Open at all gigs, Tuesdays 10-4pm and by appointment.
