The Upstairs Art Gallery & VOX365NZ present:
TIME CAPSULE
"Artists Voices Then and Now”
In a world forever changed by the seismic events in past few years there exists a poignant relic - a frozen moment in time, meticulously preserved as a record of artists' lives before the dawn of change.
Before Change, there was VOX365NZ.
Contained within this time capsule are fragments of a world characterised by bustling art studios, vibrant exhibitions, and the electrifying energy of live performances. It holds the essence of unbridled creativity, unmasked smiles, and the palpable anticipation of what was to come.
Each artefact within this capsule tells a story, capturing the essence of a time when artists breathed freely, danced without restraint, and embraced their crafts with an uninhibited passion. Paintbrushes left mid-stroke, instruments poised for their next sonorous note, and sketches brimming with life - all frozen in a state of suspended animation.
The laughter, camaraderie, and shared dreams of these artists reverberate through the artefacts, creating an ECHO of a world untouched by the challenges that would later unfold. This capsule is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of creative spirits, who would go on to face unprecedented trials with unwavering strength.
As we peer into this frozen moment, we are reminded of the INDOMITABLE human spirit, and the enduring power of ART to transcend time and circumstance. It stands as a tribute to the New Zealand artists who forged ahead, turning adversity into inspiration, and finding new ways to express themselves in a world forever altered.
May this frozen time capsule serve as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the boundless potential that resides within us all. Let it be a testament to the transformative power of art, and a symbol of the unbreakable connection that binds us as a global community of creators.
In the years to come, when we reflect upon this capsule, may it inspire us to forge ahead with renewed vigour, cherishing the past while embracing the future with open hearts and unyielding determination.
For the artists whose lives are etched into this frozen tableau, their legacy endures, reminding us that the spirit of creation is as resilient as time itself.”
