‘Fragmented Echo’ is made out of more than 1000 components of laser cut stainless steel and measures 3.6×2.5×2.5m.

2 Fragile 2 Shoot is an installation of new artworks by Gregor Kregar. A combination of slipcast and glazed ceramic objects are installed throughout the space. Kregar utilises a familiar subject or object and represents them in a way that displaces the original meaning.
These works serve as a subversion of the Louis Sullivan design cliché that “form ever follows function… This is the law.” In this case the shape of the object is the same but the use of different materials places each of them in a completely different context.
Site specific installation called Perun was instaled as part of 8@6 exhibition at Silo Gallery Space, Wynyard Quarter, Auckland. It was made out of 400 components of stainless steel and 20 neons that were suspended in the air in a way to fit across the whole diameter of one of the silo spaces.
New work included in the Auckland Airport’s Outdoor Gallery. The new sculpture park is free of charge and open to the public 7 days a week.

Gregor Kregar has won the 2015 Southern Way McClelland Commission. His commission will be displayed on the Peninsula Link freeway in Mornington Peninsula for four years before becoming part of McClelland’s permanent collection.
This year, the judging panel consisted of McClelland Sculpture Park+Gallery Director Robert Lindsay, Shepparton Art Museum Director Kirsten Paisley and sculptor Robert Bridgewater. Kregar’s proposal was selected from over 100 submissions from Australian and international applicants.
As part of Populate! Christchurch Art Gallery’s 10th birthday programme of art around the city, two of Gregor Kregar’s large scale gnomes have been installed in public places. Reflective Lullaby (John) and Reflective Lullaby (Robert) are gnomes as you’ve never seem them before – stuanch, shiny and more than 3 metres tall. As Kregar puts it: ‘the gnomes are not the heroes of one event but rather the funny philosophers of everyday life.’
Please contact us for more information on Gregor’s gnomes, as well as other available works.
