My name is Bruna Stude, and I am an artist and a gallery owner. I have a gallery in Kukuiula
Village, it’s Galerie 103 and Galerie Plus. This island has a lot of incredible talent,
which is known way beyond the island and some of these artists are represented by this gallery.
Our openings are very well attended. It is wonderful because it brings the community
together, exposes artists to the patrons of art and everyone who lives on the island and
visits the island. It’s a special moment when all that exists in that moment is art.
This is a work by Margaret Ezekial, a procession series. Procession was exhibited during her
solo exhibition at the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, 2004, 2005, and this is the first
time that we have an opportunity to see the entire procession on this island. This is
work by Christopher Reiner. His mind is amazing to me, I just admire his ability to create
this work by found art. He actually calls this unobtainium, his medium in unobtainium,
a human unwant. He collects different bits and pieces, different elements he puts in
these amazingly wonderful pieces. Look at Rosa’s exhibit, it’s painted right on
the museum walls. It’s beautiful, it will exist only during the exhibit, and there are
parts of it which can be acquired, but it is a painting that has a very short life.
We decided to webcast the entire process. Everyday we’d go online for a week. She
was able to paint and narrate her thoughts, feelings, it is about her experience of living
on Kauai and her concerns for the environment and GMO and her love for the island and for
art. For anyone who is interested in seeing the art and the installation, they can visit
our website at galerie103.com. Even those far away from us are able to see what we do
here. So come and see us here at Galerie103 at Kukuiula Village in Poipu. For more information,
go to our website at Galerie103.com We’ll see you soon.
