Ka whakarewahia e tēnei whakaaturanga he hōtaka taurua toi hou, he mea tautoko nā Te Whare Toi o Heretaunga me te Gwen Malden Charitable Trust.

He tokowhā ringatoi nō Te Matau-a-Māui kua whai tautoko ki te whakawhanake me te whakaatu i ētahi mahi hou, ko Leslie Falls rātau ko Nephi Tupaea (he Ngāti Koata, he Ngāti Tiipa, he Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, he Ngāti Kahungunu), ko Te Kīra Whakamoe (he Tūhoe, he Ngāti Ruapani) ko Bernie Winkels.

Mā te whakakotahi i ngā tirohanga rerekē, he mea whakamārama te ao e noho nei tātau e te huinga ringatoi nei me te pohewa i te āheinga kia rerekē rānei. Ka tuhuratia e rātau ngā hononga ki te ao tūroa, te hitori, te mahara me te manawanui, tae atu ki ngā momo mahi me ngā tūāhanga o te ao. He kōrero, he mihi hoki ā rātau mahi ki te hononga ki ētahi atu –  hoa mahi mai, hapori mai, tīpuna mai.

 

This exhibition launches a new biennial programme of contemporary art commissions, supported by a partnership between Te Whare Toi o Heretaunga Hastings Art Gallery and the Gwen Malden Charitable Trust.

Four Hawke’s Bay artists, Leslie Falls, Nephi Tupaea (Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Tiipa, Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Ngāti Kahungunu), Te Kīra Whakamoe (Tūhoe, Ngāti Ruapani) and Bernie Winkels have received support to develop and exhibit a new body of work.

Bringing together distinct perspectives, this group of artists shed light on the times we are living in and imagine how things could be otherwise. They explore relationships to the natural world, to history, memory, and self-determination, to the forms of labour and infrastructure which shape our daily lives. Their works speak to and acknowledge being in relation to others – collaborators, communities, tīpuna, and each other.
