Michael Lett is pleased to present a nine week solo exhibition by Zac Langdon-Pole entitled Pale Ideas. Occupying the smaller room at the back of the gallery, Langdon-Pole will present an evolving show of new work.
The exhibition will include a range of paintings, some re-stretched inside out, some not. Curtains that bear the residue and sunburn of many years hanging in front of windows and doorways have also been stretched flat, creating concrete, tautological images of compressed time. Curious arrangements of leaves may be also found around the gallery floors. While at first glance these may appear just like leaves blown into the gallery, certain clusters are in fact mimicked in the exact arrangement elsewhere within the building.
Zac Langdon-Pole (born 1988) lives and works in Auckland. He graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland, with a BFA (First Class Honors) 2010. Recent solo exhibitions include; Soft Quick Thoughts, Window, Auckland; Nothing by Itself, 2012, Michael Lett, Auckland; Standing Like Spears, 2011, split/fountain, Auckland.

Zac Langdon-Pole is a New Zealand artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. His photographic and sculptural work of found and fabricated artefacts traverses a range of scales from the familial to the celestial, all connected by the artist’s interest in memory, translation, and the ordering of social and natural worlds. After gaining a BFA (Hons) from Elam School of Fine Arts, at the University of Auckland, in 2010, Langdon-Pole received a Meisterschüler from Frankfurt’s Städelschule, in 2015.
