“Take an object / Do something to it / Do something else to it

“He Toa Tāera” - Pacific Sisters (Lisa Reihana, Rosanna Raymond, Ani O’Neill, Suzanne Tamaki, Selina Haami, Niwhai Tupaea, Henzart  Henry Ah-Foo Taripo, Feeonaa Wall, and Jaunnie ‘Ilolahia.) 

The celebration of mane wahine indigenous identity is definitely an obvious theme of the exhibition. you can sense the ambition to push the boundries of society and the constucted norms to find and discover new territories to crate art in its various forms; music, performance and fashion.

“Detour” - Michael Parekowhai 

Absolutely love it. 

So many people don’t want to admit that they simply do not understand or reveal to others their general ignorance when it comes to art. What is the artist trying to convey? What were they exploring when they set our to create? 

“I want to go to my bedroom but I can’t be bothered” - Lisa Walker 

“Yellow Moon” - He Marama Kowhai

So many weird and interesting displays of art. Not sure if I liked all of them though. The video work of the butter being squished with someone’s hands made me cringe a little but I think that was the point. 

“Your Hotel Brain”  Tony de Loutour 

“Heroes and Hangovers” - Toby Raive

Love the painting technique, very aesthetically pleasing, pushing and scraping the oil paint across surfaces. 

The works sit between representation and abstraction
