About Ruth Watson

  • Biography

    Two Rooms is pleased to present an exhibition by Ruth Watson, her first solo exhibition in Auckland for 16 years. Watson returned to NZ last year after spending 12-years abroad in Berlin, Sydney and Canberra.

    For over twenty years now, Watson has worked with cartographic ideas and imagery as a major basis for her work. From emerging artist projects such as Planetarium at Artspace in 1989 to work made for Paradise Now? Contemporary Art from the Pacific in 2003, her work has consistently engaged with these concerns, particularly the image of the world.

    Watson seeks to present alternative worldviews, often via little known map projections, by engaging with the topic of mapping itself. In her exhibition at Two Rooms, Unsatworooms.co.nz/exhibitions/ruth-watson/...
