Koopu has now created a Matariki- themed collection of works inspired by each song on Maisey Rika’s latest album Nga Mata o te Ariki Tawhirimatea. Sharing the same name as Rika’s album, Koopu’s exhibition is made up of nine diamond-shaped paintings. Each painting is a response to each of the nine songs on Rika’s album. Suspended from the ceiling, and in a formation close to that of the Matariki star cluster (known in the West as Pleiades, or the Seven Sisters), the collection is displayed as an installation in the War Memorial Theatre foyer. “I wanted to depict the stars but not to be obvious with the five-point star,” says Koopu. “Each painting tells a different story about Matariki. There are lots of stories around it. All of our research, and Maisey’s songs, were inspired by Dr Rangi Matamua, an astronomer who published a book called Matariki. “I tried to depict the imagery and try to pull the feeling out and put it into the works.” Information boards on the War Memorial Theatre foyer wall outline the inspiration in the song each of Koopu’s works is based on, an outline of a story associated with each star and a brief explanation of elements in the painting. While Pleiades is commonly associated with seven stars, Maori astronomer Professor Rangi Matamua taught Rika SOUND AND VISION: Artist Erena Koopu’s installation, Nga Mata o te Ariki Tawhirimatea, is made up of nine suspended Matariki is made up of nine stars that paintings each of which was inspired by each of the nine songs on singer/songwriter Maisey Rika’s most recent album. include Hiwaiterangi and Pohutukawa. Picture by Paul Rickard Inspired by track four on Rika’s album, Pohutukawa is described as an emotional piece based on sound and feel without words. “It’s a depiction of the different voices and sounds calling from the other side when a wairua (spirit/soul) makes its way into the afterlife”. The project came about after Rika saw Koopu’s book Hei o Mo Apanui (food for the people of Apanui). Titled after Koopu’s 2018 exhibition of Gage-inspired works, and released in July, the book’s subtitle is a “visual narrative of lyrical musings”. The concept of music-inspired artworks appealed to Rika, as well as Tairawhiti Arts Festival chief executive Tama Waipara. “Tama got whiff of it and asked if I wanted to do something similar and to launch it at the festival,” says Koopu. “I had 10 weeks to paint the show and painted it in five. It’s a cool concept; I love painting music. “I call it a ‘beautiful collision.” ■ Maisey Rika performs Nga Mata o te Ariki Tawhirimatea, her songs of celebration of Matariki, on Saturday IF FOOD BE THE MUSIC: With a selection of grapes, nuts, pineapple pieces, MUSIC ON THE LAWN: Johelonn Toroa-Taare night, 7pm, at the War Memorial Theatre. juice and a cuppa, Rota Akroyd (left), Margie Barbarich and Te Tuwhera entertains the crowd at Tairawhiti Arts Festival Tickets are available from Gisborne Hikawera enjoy a healthy snack while tuned into live music at Marina Park. hub at Marina Park. i-Site and Ticketek.

Liber [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7863-3906 © Alex C. Liber 2020 Dedication For Lindsey and Sophia. I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

An oft-cited critical point of difference is the respective presence (New Zealand) and absence (Australia) of a treaty with indigenous nations of the land at the time of foundation, a scenario that we argue establishes distinct conceptualisations of urban park design during the 1990s and early 2000s.
