The Unidentified from RM Archives presents undated, unattributed material from RM's archive: photographs, flyers, and other ephemera from three decades of exhibitions and events. Members of RM have been digitising physical material alongside a formal catalogue. Some materials are unlabelled, missing names, dates, or context.

RM functions as a space to show and test ideas, but in doing so it exemplifies the important role that artists run initiatives play. You are invited to help identify what's pictured, people, places and events. Information gathered will be added to RM's archive, connecting collective memory within the current arts community and beyond.

As the longest-running artist-run space in Aotearoa New Zealand, 2027 marks the 30th anniversary of RM gallery. Over the years, RM has undergone various incarnations, including rm3, rm212, rm401, and rm103, with locations at different addresses in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, and currently based at Samoa House Lane on Karangahape Road.

About：

RM is an artist-run space, project office and archive.

Based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, RM is a gallery that places the work of local emerging artists alongside more seasoned practitioners. RM seeks to engage with the practices, discourses and modes of presentation that aren’t well-supported or easily accessible.

Though we might look like a white cube, we are more interested in the potentials of an empty room – a space to gather, to think, to talk, to make, to share…

Established in 1997, RM is the country’s longest running artist-run-space. The current members of the cooperative are Anna Bensky, Anna Finch, Aria McInnes, Brianna Parkinson, Holly Thai, Jingcheng Zhao, Jude Stevens, Rakavi Jeyakumar, Rose Meyer, Sinag Fernandez, Taarn Scott and Zak McNeil.
