Invivo's win at the NZ Innovation awards

Invivo was very proud to be named New Zealand 2009 Winner of Amcor Innovation in Wine Marketing trophy. The judges commented on the Invivo campaign "Strong, linear, clear, and powerful as well as eye catching, it would translate well globally and stand out amongst the crowd. Every aspect was executed with outstanding application. It is a youthful and vigorous creative execution on what we expect was a limited budget, and the brand and campaign has great versatility and oozes confidence and passion."

Gregor Kregar exhibition "Immersive Echoes"

Immersive Echoes exhibition by Gregor Kregar combines geometric structures constructed in mirror polished stainless steel with photographs and videos of clouds to create an environment of fragmented reflection and overlapping skies. Kregar says, "Much of my sculpture, including this work, is meant to trigger ideas and get people thinking and talking about how we use space – to think about why and how we build".

Gregor has exhibited widely in New Zealand, Australia, USA and Europe. His work has been recognised by winning several prestigious art awards, residencies in New York and Australia, and is held in many important art collections.

Invivo was proud to support the Immersive Echoes exhibition preview at Bath Street Gallery, Bath Street, Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand on 7 October
