A Collaboration


MOA HUNTER FASHIONS
Areta Wilkinson

The National presents a small selection from two recent bodies of work by Areta Wilkinson (Ngāi Tahu jeweller) and Mark Adams (pākeha photographer) exploring ways in which both artists have responded to their cultures, their histories and engagement in Te Waipounamu – the South Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Wilkinson and Adams found an intersection of both their art practices in the site of the museum storeroom. In 2009 a residency at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge began a seven-year investigation of South Island taonga Māori and other cultural material held in Oceanic collections in New Zealand, England and Germany.

 

 

 

 

An Exhibition Publication with Essay by Damian Skinner, Taonga and Photography in the Post-Treaty Settlement Era: A Case Study of Photograms by Mark Adams and Areta Wilkinson, is available.
