Nikau Superette Art takes place in a restored and repurposed community notice board on Queen Mary Avenue in New Lynn. Originally built by the Queen Mary Avenue and Durrant Place Neighbourhood Support Group and sponsored by a local real estate agency – Glover Real Estate – the notice board fell into disuse as social media took over the role of community notices. 

Each Season presents a range of site-responsive micro exhibitions in the box of the community notice board. Artists have engaged with the idea of community notices, neighbourhood support networks, hyper local shopping, dairy economics, estuary ecologies, community politics, and observational recordings of the local area. 

The artists were invited to share their work here by local artist, and regular superette customer, Melissa Laing.
