Join us for an afternoon kōrero with artist Sam Clague who will be discussing his current exhibition Under Heaven’s Heel. Dipping into history and art history, he will discuss the struggles between capitalist and socialist ideologies, and how the age-old conflict between the powerful elite and the masses remains relevant today. Touching on some of the reoccurring motifs and symbols depicted in his paintings and sculptures and how they are inspired by the works of Albrecht Dürer and Philip Guston.
