Mike Hewson
Mike Hewson is an Aotearoa-born, Sydney-based visual artist, whose practice is informed by a background in structural engineering and heavy-civil construction. This unique foundation shapes his approach to art, combining technical understanding with conceptual ambition to explore the relationship between materials, structures and the public realm. His award-winning projects pioneer new ways of merging conceptual art projects with public environments, challenging traditional boundaries between art, architecture and civic space. Working across sculpture, installation and large-scale interventions, Hewson explores the possibilities that emerge when established systems and limitations are reconsidered. His practice is driven by a belief that ideas often considered untenable within public settings can, in fact, be realised through creative thinking, collaboration and persistence. By transforming materials, spaces and expectations, his work demonstrates the potential for new possibilities within existing frameworks.

Gaetano Pesce
Gaetano Pesce was born 1939 in La Spezia, and from the outset his life unfolded in parallel with the social and political transformations that would shape his thinking. Educated in Venice during the fervent intellectual climate of the 1960s, Pesce developed a conviction that design must reflect the complexity, instability, and plurality of contemporary life. He rejected the modernist pursuit of neutrality and perfection, arguing instead that objects should carry emotion, narrative, and even contradiction. For Pesce, design was never merely about function or style; it was a cultural act, inseparable from the values and tensions of its time. Across architecture, furniture, and installation, Pesce forged a language that was unmistakably his own. He embraced industrial resins, foams, and plastics not as utilitarian shortcuts but as expressive tools capable of fluidity and spontaneity. His forms were often sensuous, asymmetrical, and saturated with color, deliberately resisting repetition. As a thinker and maker, Pesce championed individuality above all. He believed that variation was a fundamental expression of freedom.
