Under was a probing of the way we navigate territories an exploratory mission into the grey areas between nature and the manmade, imagination and reality, and the difficulties of cultural expectation. Under sought to expose the ideas that lurk beneath the surface, a conscious unveiling of the darker alternatives to romantic notions of the way we see the land and its history.

Lifted my High Class Boner Meds / Paradise Sale — Martin Basher spirits. Stunning!” 6 August – 5 September 2010 Rachel Hume, Auckland Taking its title from internet spam emails selling Viagra, Martin Basher’s exhibition used iconic everyday images and objects to ask questions about what our consumer society wants and believes in. His work featured exquisite photorealist paintings of beaches, collages, cryptic placards and signs, and sculptural assemblages featuring a variety of consumer goods and fluorescent lights. His work plies the ocean of contemporary culture and the backwaters of spiritual deficit, focusing specifically on the ways that desire (material, physical, sexual, spiritual) is bound with consumerism, belief and politics. Piling images and icons together in what look almost like haphazard arrangements, Basher’s work destabilises straight heirerachies of taste, quality and class. Material goods are plentiful, lifestyle is easy, interest is low, but gratification is elusive. 4 Lopdell House Gallery • Annual Report • July 2010 – June 2011 Lopdell House Gallery • Annual Report • July 2010 – June 2011 5 Words Chosen Carefully — Liz March 10 September – 3 October 2010 Words Chosen Carefully brought together some of New Zealand’s finest literary SEAN SHADBOLT practitioners, 15 writers and 15 literary critics, in discussions about each author’s oeuvre, the nature of writing and the place of land, culture, belonging, society, family and art in their work.

  • Art's Histories in Aotearoa New Zealand Jonathan Mane Wheoki
    Art’s Histories in Aotearoa New Zealand Jonathan Mane Wheoki This is the text of an illustrated paper presented at ‘Art History's History in Australia and New Zealand’, a joint symposium organised by the Australian Institute of Art History in the University of Melbourne and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Art Historians (AAANZ), held on 28 – 29 August 2010. Responding to a set of questions framed around the ‘state of art history in New Zealand’, this paper reviews the ‘invention’ of a nationalist art history and argues that there can be no coherent, integrated history of art in New Zealand that does not encompass the timeframe of the cultural production of New Zealand’s indigenous Māori, or that of the Pacific nations for which the country is a regional hub, or the burgeoning cultural diversity of an emerging Asia-Pacific nation. On 10 July 2010 I participated in a panel discussion ‘on the state of New Zealand art history.’ This timely event had been initiated by Tina Barton, director of the Adam Art Gallery in the University of Victoria, Wellington, who chaired the discussion among the twelve invited panellists. The host university’s department of art history and art gallery and the University of Canterbury’s art history programme were represented, as were the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the City Gallery, Wellington, the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the University of Auckland’s National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries. The University of Auckland’s department of art history1 and the University of Otago’s art history programme were unrepresented, unfortunately, but it is likely that key scholars had been targeted and were unable to attend.

As well, the Gallery works regularly with guest artists including Billy Apple, Peter Peryer, Patricia Piccinini and Victoria Munro on selected curatorial projects both within the space and externally at Art Fairs and pop up exhibitions. Melanie herself brings over twenty years of experience within the art world to the gallery.

  • 7. Contemporary
    7. Contemporary Art The beginning of a contemporary art scene in Oceania must be seen against the background of the political and social upheavals which came as a result of the withdrawal of the European colonial powers and the creation of independent nation states in the Pacific from the 1960s to the 1980s. The connection of some Polynesian countries to New Zealand as the economically strongest Commonwealth member in the Southwest Pacific has caused a migration from the islands to the urban centres of New Zealand which still persists today. It was here that the migrants rediscovered their local cultures and traditional roots. At the same time they had direct access to Western art institutions and foundations and brought both perspectives together in an independent art scene. In the Melanesian part of Oceania, in contrast, there was no comparable connection with geographically closer Australia. Subsequently, no large diaspora communities developed there, and artists were denied access to the Western art market. Apart from French-administered New Caledonia, it was only in Papua New Guinea that a small, free art scene was able to develop, however, without any international support. 7.1 Contemporary Art in Polynesia Home to the largest number of gallery- and museum-based artists, New Zealand Aotearoa has become an important centre for contemporary Pacific art. Their respective art practices have explored a range of issues and concerns relating to notions of belonging, place and identity. Since the 1950s, Polynesians from Samoa, Niue, Tonga and the Cook Islands have migrated to New Zealand. Today, 15% of the total population of Auckland, the largest city with 1.5 million inhabitants, are Polynesians.

    Fiona Clark Michael Lett 312 Karangahape Road Cnr K Rd & East St PO Box 68287 Newton Auckland 1145 New Zealand P+ 64 9 309 7848 [email protected] www.michaellett.com Fiona Clark Born in 1954, Inglewood, Taranaki, New Zealand Lives and works in Tikorangi, Taranaki, New Zealand Fiona Clark was born in Inglewood, Taranaki, in 1959, a rural background which formed the basis for her hands-on approach and direct attitude towards artistic practice, attributes which have aided her in the production of an expansive body of photographic work. While studying at the Elam School of Fine Arts between 1972-5, Clark began to develop a performance-based practice, before moving into photography in her final year. Performativity and the politics of identity would prove to be concepts which informed Clark’s later work, and these interests indirectly led her to document Auckland’s drag and transsexual community. These works provided the methodology for much of Clark’s later practice, especially in their emphasis on a collaborative approach and a sense of responsibility towards the images’ subjects, as seen in the then-controversial Dance Party series, which was subjected to censorship after being included in the Auckland Art Gallery’s 1977 group show The Active Eye. After returning to Taranaki, Clark embarked on a number of artistic projects encompassing a wide variety of subject matter: Maori fishing rights, body building, HIV-Aids and lesbian cultural histories. Recently, the shows Go Girl (2002-6) and For Fantastic Carmen (2016) represent a continuation of the documentary project which began with the Dance Party series, and which now spans four decades.

Both of these events were remarkably successful and we would like to warmly thank our vendors who remained patient during the lockdown and all those who supported us at the viewings and attended the auctions, whether on-line at home or in person. It is extremely heartening to see that even in the most tumultuous of times, there is still a desire for art in our lives.
