SOLD OUT: Works from the 1990s

19 August - 12 September 2009

Looking at this earlier work from an artist who has made works with swastikas and texts like ‘Pakeha have rights too’ and ‘Boy, am I scarred?’ it provides a semantic filter through which we can observe the ‘Pakeha’ chains ‘unbound’.

For Keeps: Sampling recent acquisitions 2006-2009

Curated by Natasha Conland


18 June - 12 July 2009

There are 26 artists here, including the Australian photographer Bill Henson who has a whole room to himself to display eight night-time images. This is an excellent show, yet oddly it is only up for a month. Make sure you see it.
