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. -

My Place in Art Teaching Kit
My Place in Art Teaching Kit Summer in Nelson, 1960 Irvine Major, Oil on Canvas Unit Developed and Compiled by Esther McNaughton, Suter Educator Education services and programmes at The Suter are supported by the Ministry of Education under the Learning Experiences Outside of the Classroom (LEOTC) funding. 1 Introduction: My Place in Art In this lesson students will explore landscape art which shows our region. They will think about their associations with local places before looking at why and how artists show landscapes in art. The students will develop an artwork showing themselves in a landscape of their choice using techniques observed in the artworks on show. Relevant Curriculum Areas: Visual Arts, Social Studies, English. Duration: 75- 90 minutes depending on level. Levels: Adaptable for Years 1-10 Associated Suter Exhibition: Milk and Honey The rhetoric used to describe Aotearoa/New Zealand from a colonial perspective has always been laced with Biblical references. This is God’s own country: a South Pacific Eden full of hope, bounty and peace. This exhibition examines mythmaking involved in forging the history and vision of our country and Nelson as a region. Tracing the aesthetic influence of the top of the South Island, Milk and Honey displays the historical impact the region has had as a subject for art. From John Bevan Ford’s adaptation of one of the first European images of Maori and Aotearoa in Golden Bay and Tall Men on Hill Tops to Joe Sheehan’s contemporary approach to traditional Māori pakohe (argillite), this region has been stimulating artists for centuries. -
Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’. -
A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES
A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar. -

The intention was that this would give another 15-20 years of life to the burner. 3 In 2015, it was suggested that there was an electrical fault and the burner was taken out of service with the wire being cut between the wall and the thermostat in the main hall and the burner unit. 4 The previous CDA had identified a project to upgrade the windows, paint the interior, install a zip and replace the LED lights. This was costed at approximately $40,000. 5 Subsequent to that decision being made the former Ohai Bowling Club building was gifted back to the community of Ohai and a decision was made to consult with the wider community about the comparative cost of upgrading and maintaining the Bowling Club and the Hall with a view to only keeping one building for use by the community. 6 In February 2018, at the first informal meeting of the new Ohai Community Development Area Subcommittee, the hall heating was identified as being a priority project for the Subcommittee and staff were requested to investigate alternative heating options. -

The Journ Al of the Polynesian Society
THE JOURNAL OF THE POLYNESIAN SOCIETY THE POLYNESIAN OF THE JOURNAL VOLUME 128 No.1 MARCH 2019 Special Issue TE AO HOU: WHAKAPAPA AS PRACTICAL ONTOLOGY VOLUME 128 No.1 MARCH 2019 VOLUME “IMAGES STILL LIVE AND ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE”: WHAKAPAPA AND THE 1923 DOMINION MUSEUM ETHNOLOGICAL EXPEDITION NATALIE ROBERTSON Auckland University of Technology ABSTRACT: The first major photofilmic record of the Waiapu River region of Aotearoa New Zealand occurred over a three-week period in March–April 1923, when the filmmaker and photographer James McDonald documented local cultural activities on the East Coast. McDonald was a member of the fourth Dominion Museum ethnological expedition from Wellington, invited to Waiapu by Apirana Ngata to record ancestral tikanga ‘practices’ that he feared were disappearing. Despite the criticism of ethnographic “othering” in the resulting film He Pito Whakaatu i te Noho a te Maori i te Tairawhiti—Scenes of Māori Life on the East Coast, this paper suggests that the fieldwork, from a Ngāti Porou perspective, was assisted and supported by local people. It addresses the entanglements of this event and delineates the background, purpose and results of the documentary photographs and film in relation to Ngata’s cultural reinvigoration agenda. This article also reveals the various relationships, through whakapapa ‘kin networks’ hosting and friendship, between members of the team and local people. Drawing on the 1923 diary kept by Johannes Andersen and on other archival and tribal sources, the author closely analyses these relationships, what Apirana Ngata calls takiaho ‘relational cords’, which are brought to light so that descendants can keep alive these connections through the remaining film fragments and beyond the frame.
