The A+W•NZ Timeline was first exhibited in the Silo 6 Gallery in our 'Between Silos' Exhibition in 2013, and here we re-exhibit as part of AAW 2016. The A+W•NZ Timeline was created by Marianne Calvelo, with Joy Roxas (Designer) and Lynda Simmons
(Curator). That team is still working on the Timeline, with additions
and changes as it continues to grow and include many facets of this
country's architectural history.
Additions to the original A+W•NZ Timeline for this installation are a sound installation
by Elisapeta Heta ('He Wai' Venice Biennale contribution, plus segments
of interviews with 5 architects, interviews originally recorded as part
of the A+W•NZ Wiki Lounge project)
and a projected video compilation of images of Dame Whina Cooper (from a
1980s documentary by Communicado). Thanks goes to Dick Reade of Reade
Audio Ltd for the use of the recording studio facilities.
This installation is one of several in the Silo 6 Gallery AAW16 exhibition - curated by the NZIA. Other exhibitors include The Roots Collective, AKAU, the NZILA Tim de Beer and Bobby Shen with Panuku, and Antonia Lapwood, Maui 'Ofamo'oni.

01Research and Sound additions

Women have been consistently present in New Zealand's architectural history, however largely absent from our documented stories. (If you need proof of this, look no further than the recent TV Series 'The New Zealand House' (2016), which featured no work by women in it at all.)
The A+W NZ Timeline project aims to change our recorded histories. The exhibition gathers information into a public, published format - making visible the many teams of people and events that remain unpublished in Aotearoa New Zealand. The design of the exhibition, by Marianne Calvelo and Joy Roxas, was intentionally atomised and additive, leaving gaps to be filled in the future as more research uncovers more stories.
