Well known for his takeover judging stint on NZ’s 2015 X Factor Show (after the infamous departure of Natalia Kills and Willy Moon) and as drummer for iconic rock bands I Am Giant (we’re big, big fans!) and Blindspott, Shelton Woolright has a new project up his (ink-covered) sleeves…
When the names Shelton Woolright, Otis Frizzell, Flox (Hayley King), Askew One and Dean Sacred are used in one sentence, you know it’s going to be good. And good it is, with an event that encompasses both charity elements and a very important message.
The upcoming exhibition Lonesome Beast Native presented by Moa Brewing Co. is a continuation from the highly acclaimed 2014 creative collaboration and photographic series ‘Lonesome Beast’ between Shelton Woolright and Dean Sacred, and this time round has added a few more popular local names to the mix.
The limited number of pieces (each hand numbered, signed and wax stamped on archival paper) will be on display in the iconic Old Elephant House at The Auckland Zoo between February 3rd and 26th, open to the public with viewing times adopting The Auckland Zoo’s regular opening hours.
The exhibition features 15 prints of Woolright’s photography, each customised with unique layers by one of the partner artists and for sale from $180 in sizes ranging from A3 to A0. Ten per cent of sales from all prints will go towards The Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund, supporting conservation efforts in the wild throughout New Zealand and overseas. Even if you’re not our lucky winner of this limited edition print and zoo passes, do head in and check out the exhibition (which ends February 26th) – not only is it a once in a lifetime opportunity, it’s sure to be an amazing viewing.
To further support the efforts of The Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund and to tie into the exhibition, naming-rights sponsor Moa Brewing Co. will be wrapping 15 of its Moa Methode Pilsner Magnum brews with the lead Moa image from the exhibit and contributing all proceeds of its sales to the Conservation Fund.
