Welcome
Moniek Schrijer, Double Happiness, 2016, projection image. See page 31 for the story.
Jewellery is on our mind this issue. We look at who made the cut for Schmuck 2018 and talk to jewellers about courses and training. Mary-Jane Duffy chats to Moniek Schrijer, one of our award-winning jewellers, about her residency in China and its influence on the direction of her work. Long-time collector Alister Harlow talks about what sparks his collecting instinct, and decorative art and design curator Justine Olsen tells Sarah Catherall what she is looking for as she builds the Te Papa collection. Dan Poynton talks to jeweller Hannah Upritchard about her work in London. Sophie McKinnon considers the confronting moral and ethical questions being raised in the West by the large recent Chinese exhibition, Theatre of the World: Art in China After 1989, at the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York. Photographs by Roberta Thornley have commanded our attention for some time. Her work featured in Art Zone in 2012 (issue #45) and she was noticed back in 2008 by the late photographer Marti Friedlander as ῾one to watch’. Appropriately, she has this year won the Arts Foundation’s Friedlander award. Feast your eyes upon her work on page 28. This issue we asked someone with fresh first hand knowledge of training to compile our education special. Laura Pitcher, a recent Massey graduate, has also has just completed the requirements for a Master’s in International Journalism from Edinburgh Napier University. She talked to a number of art and design graduates about their training and what motivated them to take their various courses.

8 Top pot A teapot ‘steeped in history’ has won the 2017 Portage Ceramic Awards prize. Wellington artist Richard Stratton says his Forced Turn Teapot is based on his research into ‘industrialised historical ceramic practices and formulas of European and English Basaltes wares.’ Judge Emma Bugden, previously Senior Curator at The Dowse Art Museum and now a Whanganui-based writer and curator, is the first New Zealander to judge the awards. She said Stratton’s deconstructed teapot ‘is not just a compendium of methods; it held my gaze with its sincerity and vigour, from its brutalist structure to the delightful whimsy of the handle.’ Forced Turn Teapot will be on display, along with other award winners and finalists, at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery until 11 February.

The Mahara Gallery Trust Board is now planning for a standalone gallery. This follows the Kāpiti Coast District Council’s decision to halt the plans for a new combined library and art gallery in Waikanae. Mahara has been offered the Field Collection, which includes a number of works by Frances Hodgkins, but a museum-standard facility is required to store and display it. Last month the Paraparaumu Rotary Club said it would be ‘a tragedy’ if Kāpiti lost the significant collection, and pledged $10,000 to boost the project.
Page Blackie Gallery is turning 30. Established by Marcia Page in 1987 as Tinakori Gallery, it became Page Blackie Gallery in 2007 when James Blackie joined Marcia as co-Director. They specialise in mid-career and senior New Zealand artists, and the resale of renowned works and estates. As a duo, they represent 20 artists including Max Gimblett, Heather Straka and Dick Frizzell.
The historic Sarjeant Gallery, one of New Zealand’s oldest purpose-built galleries, needs $34.9 million for restoration and seismic strengthening. With 90% of its funding target already raised, the Sarjeant Gallery Trust is well on its way to securing $16 million of Government funding which would take it over the line. Whanganui District Council has agreed to act as guarantor if the trust cannot meet the December 20 deadline, but gallery director Greg Anderson says, ‘We have every expectation that our ongoing fundraising programs will achieve the remainder.’ He says the next steps are to complete the detailed designs and procurement plans, and to find and retain a principal contractor. ‘We hope to begin construction in the last quarter of 2018, with the project taking about two years to complete.’

Your art’s in safe hands with framer Daniel Metcalf, as Dan Poynton discovers.
In Dan’s hands Pieces of art have to be looked after. While the original artist’s creation is revered, desired, it is also lugged about and handled for purposes of display or sale, and needs special measures to keep it in good shape. Frames by Daniel is a small Auckland firm that specialises in transporting and presenting art, employing great care and a fair bit of that mythical Kiwi ingenuity to keep the taonga from harm. ‘We sort of throw ourselves at anything we’re asked about,’ says
Daniel Metcalf, the versatile and pragmatic owner of Frames by Daniel. ‘If it’s reasonable we’ll tackle it.’ The Henderson-based company makes art-boards, stretchers, easels, plinths and boxes for freighting art to any specifications required. They also offer canvas stretching. Daniel set up a furniture building business soon after leaving school. An art-student friend was working for him and also doing bits and pieces for the local art students, and when he left to do his OE, Daniel took over his work and the business grew from there. Frames by Daniel has been going 15 years now, but it remains an intimate outfit with just one other full-timer and a couple of part-timers.
This, and some original methods of working, has allowed Daniel to keep his costs down and focus on his customers’ needs, he says. ‘I just like to be fair,’ says Daniel. ‘Artists don’t have a lot of money to spend and I’m about half the price of my competitors.’ For example, after checking out different ways of constructing artfreight boxes, Daniel came up with his own construction methods that are less labour-intensive than normal. ‘By keeping my prices low I get artists who buy more than just one thing, so I don’t lose out that much,’ he says. ‘I’m quite a creative person so I enjoy the challenge of some of the special stuff we have to do,’ he says,

listing art-gallery exhibition walls and even kitchens as some of Frame by Daniel’s peripheral projects. ‘Quite often an artist will come to me with an idea which is probably achievable but way over the top and I usually find a cheaper way to achieve the look for them,’ says Daniel. ‘I’m not reserved in coming forward and saying this is a silly way to do it – we can do it this way and achieve the same thing.’ He says he basically doesn’t like having to do more work than he has to. ‘When I buy stuff I like to get the best price I can so I treat my customers the same way,’ says Daniel. Frames by Daniel does a lot of work transporting art-pieces here and internationally for organisations such as the Wallace Art Awards. They work intimately with a lot of New Zealand’s leading artists, and this requires a sensitivity toward
their work, although Daniel modestly denies this. ‘To try and paint something I don’t think I’d have any joy at all, but I’m quite creative with wood,’ says Daniel. ‘I’m a visual person and like building hands-on. I’m not so good with writing and reading, which has its drawbacks if you want to repeat something because you haven’t always got it written down.’ ‘I’ve been dealing with an older artist called Mervyn Williams whose art I really enjoy,’ he says. ‘We’ve been doing some maquettes for some sculpture projects he’s had in his head for about 25 years, but we met up and managed to get them out of his head and start producing them.’ These days, boards and especially rounds are the big thing, says Daniel, because artists tend to apply a lot more media than before, and canvases don’t work as well for this.
Also, there are constant requests for idiosyncratically shaped boards, and so Daniel employs the latest computer controlled cutters. ‘We can get a program written up for any shape – we can basically do anything,’ he says. ‘We even produce boards in the shape of artists’ logos.’ And what skills are most necessary for such work? Daniel isn’t quite sure but does say you’ve got to be good at measuring. Focus is also important. ‘One of the young guys who worked for me was an artist and when he had an exhibition coming up you could tell because he was a bit switched off and mistakes got made,’ he says. But Daniel obviously has the focus for this work. ‘We’re never quiet here,’ he says. ‘There’s always plenty to do.’

Jewellery collecting is a growing part of the art scene in New Zealand, writes Sarah Catherall.
To broach the subject Alister Harlow doesn’t look at a brooch the way many of us do. The Auckland accountant turns it over, and stares at the back of it, to check for a message from the artist who has made it. ‘Brooches often start a conversation between the maker and the wearer,’ says Harlow, who has been collecting them for more than 30 years and now boasts about 500 pieces of jewellery in his collection. He adds: ‘My view is that jewellery is sculpture on a small scale, and I generally buy things that I can wear.’ A growing number of collectors are choosing to collect jewellery, particularly as New Zealand’s jewellery-making scene is vibrant and internationally renowned. Public institutions like Te Papa, the Dowse Art Museum and Auckland Art
Gallery all collect jewellery, holding works by New Zealand jewellery artists such as Warwick Freeman and Lisa Walker. Alister never buys a piece because it’s fashionable, or the jeweller is in vogue. Rather, he covets the works of certain jewellers he likes − Peter MacKay, and Koji Miyazaki, the Japanese jeweller who owns Form Gallery in Christchurch. Alister also looks out for pieces by Swiss-born Kobi Bosshard, and the ring maker Jens Hansen. Why brooches, though? ‘Their makers say that brooches are the most challenging and rewarding format. Brooches are static, while other jewellery items are mobile and tactile. They also only suit a certain climate because you need a jacket or a coat to wear a brooch.’ ‘A serious collector will look at the back of the brooch rather than the front. You can tell how serious someone is by seeing if the collector checks the back of the brooch.’
The criteria that guide what he will collect have stayed constant since he began collecting three decades ago. He says a brooch must be masculine, its design is important, and most of the works he covets are made of silver. ‘Silver is a semi-precious material that is permanent and a lot of jewellers are comfortable working with it. There is no other material like it,’ he says. Alister is always interested in the narrative of a piece, such as Peter MacKay’s observations about nature. He is the proud owner of 30 brooches by Peter MacKay, including a number of the jeweller’s Metaphysical Hearts brooch series, along with his simple fish and bird brooches. Peter MacKay brooches can also be found stored in a filing cabinet in one of Te Papa’s giant art storerooms. Since the early 1990s, New Zealand’s national museum and gallery has been building
20 up an impressive jewellery collection. When Te Papa’s national art gallery, Toi Art, reopens in March next year after an extensive renovation, an exhibition by Wellington jeweller Lisa Walker will be a key part of it. Te Papa’s decorative art and design curator Justine Olsen says the jewellery collection sits within the national art collection. ‘I look at the relationship between art and jewellery. That’s why Lisa Walker is so critical. She is a jeweller but she builds relationships with art and always has.’ Te Papa’s acquisition of jewellery really began when a significant collection – the Bone Stone Shell collection (a touring exhibition from 1998 to 1993) – was acquired by the museum in 1993. ‘The collection encapsulated contemporary jewellery as it was at the time, looking at New Zealand moving away from Europe to its place in the Pacific,’ says Justine. With 47 pieces of jewellery and adornment art by 12 contemporary
artists, the works in the collection from the 1970s and 1980s showcased New Zealand’s changing cultural identity. It features paua, bone and argillite necklaces by Warwick Freeman, John Edgar’s greywacke and jade amulets, Inia Taylor’s finely carved bone necklaces and Elena Gee’s pendants. Says Justine, ‘The collection showed a shifting away from Europe to the Pacific, which was hugely significant. Local materials like pounamu, schist, and paua were used in the works.’ Bone Stone Shell was also a turning point as it sparked a deliberate effort by Te Papa to track the careers of some of the artists represented, and the museum continues to collect their more recent works. Pulling out a filing cabinet, Justine points to two Alan Preston necklaces made out of pieces of road, which Te Papa purchased from a dealer gallery in 2013. ‘You identify leaders in the field and you follow their work. When it comes to
acquiring now, we identify the younger generations and their strengths.’ Pointing to a sheepskin necklace by Lisa Walker, she says she also looks for key examples of a jeweller’s style when making acquisitions. Te Papa also considers questions of national and cultural identity. Most wellknown contemporary jewellers are represented in Te Papa’s collection, and Olsen covers the whole gamut − from senior artists to graduate students dubbed ones to watch. ‘It is a very energetic scene,’ she says. Te Papa is also trying to build up its historical jewellery collections from the colonial and modernist periods to show a wider spread of the development of the adornment art scene. ‘I tend to think long-term. You might think, in 50 years’ time, how will this look? You hope and think that because these objects resonated in so many ways at the time that they become incredibly important in the future.’

22 Lisa Walker, What Karl didn’t take with him, 2010. Purchased 2010. Te Papa
Top delegates Part of the Handwerksmesee International crafts and trade fair, the Schmuck jewellery exhibition in Munich is the longest standing of its kind and one of the most highly regarded in the world. An extensive program of events all over the city has developed around the special jewellery show, but Schmuck remains the focus and rationale for the annual gathering, which has been running for almost six decades. More than 912 applications from 65 counties were received by Schmuck organisers and only 21 artists have been chosen to participate in 2018. Lisa Walker and her partner Karl Fritsch, both Schmuck regulars, were the only New Zealanders to make the cut this year. Lisa and Karl met in Auckland in 1994. German-born Karl was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts in
Munich at the time and was a key reason Lisa decided to move to Munich (see Art Zone #43). Lisa was a student of Professor Otto Künzli at the Munich Arts Academy from 1995 to 2001. The couple lived and worked in Munich until they moved to Wellington with their children in 2009. Lisa, who uses a large range of materials and techniques, makes what she calls ‘reactionary work’. She pushes the boundaries and questions the notion of beauty. Te Papa will be featuring I want to go to my bedroom but I can’t be bothered, which charts Lisa’s 30-year evolution as a jeweller when it opens its brand new purposebuilt art gallery, Toi Art in March next year. Justine Olsen, Curator of Decorative Art and Design at Te Papa, says an extraordinary range of Lisa Walker’s works will be on display – made from materials including copper, pearls, and pounamu, and found objects like LEGO, cell phones, and egg beaters. Karl’s whimsical, wearable rings are a
favourite with fine art and jewellery collectors alike. He began with traditional goldsmith’s practical training before studying at the jewellery department at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He has exhibited around the world and was awarded the Herbert Hoffmann Prize at the 1995 Handwerksmesee. A new partnership between Creative New Zealand and Objectspace has been set up to use the knowledge and expertise of the gallery to benefit artists operating internationally. Objectspace will liaise between the fair and exhibiting New Zealand artists, co-ordinate freight, and help connect artists with people and opportunities during the fair. Creative New Zealand supports the New Zealand artists exhibiting at Schmuck with grants of up to $3,000 for flights and accommodation. If they are also accepted to attend the emerging artist competition Talente, another part of the Handwerksmesse trade fair, additional support is offered.

An accidental jeweller If you peer into a rather unlikely wild garden in the middle of Clapton in London’s East End you might find Hannah Upritchard burrowing around in her little cave-like studio. Looking at the surrounding artifacts and found objects you might ask what in the world she’s up to. Actually Hannah wasn’t quite sure herself until about 11 years ago. ‘I’m an accidental jeweller,’ she laughs. ‘I started making jewellery because I wanted to make myself some wedding rings and I couldn’t afford any I liked.’ The rather bizarre result was a ring bearing an enormous monkey face for her husband Christian – in honour of Hannah’s nickname – and a camel for herself ‘because I think he looks like a camel.’ People started asking her to make them rings, then other things, and
gradually Hannah Rings was born. This ‘accidental jeweller’, who grew up in New Plymouth and Christchurch, says she wanted to become a writer and in those days she never even looked at jewellery let alone wore it. ‘I was quite a dark young person,’ muses Hannah. ’I had a few years when I was cross with the universe and then I got it out of my system with a bit of Russian literature and gender studies.’ Just as she was finishing her final exams at Victoria University she had a mysterious brain haemorrhage. Although this took three months from her life, and still affects her memory, she says it effected a positive shift in her. ‘It made me feel I’m going to live a little bit first and then decide where I’m going and not worry, because there’s no rush to be an adult in this universe,’ she says. So she took off overseas, and since making her own wedding rings she’s gradually picked up the craft from other jewellers, from Rio de Janeiro to Süd Tirol.
‘I’m a little bit of an opportunistic parasite type,’ says Hannah. “Basically I’m like MacGyver – invent it and usually it works.” The young woman who ‘never learnt how to make jewellery’ ended up creating an eclectic range with a personal and extremely flexible character, earthy, quirky and somehow mythical. Often rough round the edges, like Japanese ceramics, and totally instinctive. ‘I get all my inspiration from my gut,’ says Hannah. The ‘bumps, faults and tarnishes’ are as much an essential part of her work as the quality of her materials ‘because life is a bit bumpy and tarnished and I like that when you wear jewellery it actually polishes on you and grows with you.’ Mass-produced ‘Michael Hill eternity bands with huge diamonds’ are not her thing. ‘It just horrifies me, and that’s why I couldn’t find anything to buy for my wedding,’ she says.
26
Bespoke (custom-made) jewellery is Hannah’s favourite way of working. Looking at her website, it seems almost all of her work is “bespokenly” unique as she rarely makes the same thing twice. ‘That’s how I started out, and bespoke really pushes you to learn new skills,’ she says. ‘It was an efficient way of getting my own visual language because the work was so diverse it meant I had to really fix on something quite fast that was me.’ She says she loves having people in her home and generally looking after them, and bespoke jewellery is an extension of this. ‘I’m being paid to make an extremely special present for someone. It’s a delightful moment when you hand the piece over at the end and you see their face just light up. So I’m pretty lucky with my job.’
A big part of the ethos of Hannah Rings is to use recycled, found or fairtrade materials as much as possible. ‘There’s enough stuff in the world already, we don’t need to dig more up,’ she says, once again voicing her disgust at today’s mass-produced jewellery. ‘Especially when you could buy a beautiful Roman ring for 200 quid from an antique dealer and they’ve been dug out of the ground, sitting there forever.’ A favourite way for Hannah to find materials is to stroll down to the Thames and indulge in an English eccentricity called ‘mudlarking’. ‘You scavenge in the mud by the side of the river,’ she says gleefully, relating how in the 15th-century Indian sailors dumped their goods at the side of the Thames for their wives and children to pick up and sell.
‘But if something ever went into the mud the people back then believed in evil spirits, and I guess it was because the mud was so disgusting you could actually get really sick from touching it,’ Hannah tells. ‘So not even for gold would they reach into this mud, and now you can find handfuls of things like garnet.’ Her Thames garnet rings are the striking result. But there are also sculpted barnacles, bronze hairpins, sloth earrings, lion’s faces, donkey cuffs, flying owl rings, dog rings, pig rings, possum bone bracelets... So hard to choose. But what about her homeland? ‘I’m the world’s most ridiculously buoyant human,’ says Hannah, but she still comes back home for three months every year to replenish the batteries. ‘I really need New Zealand for my soul.’

Mitchell to transmit
Dane Mitchell will represent New Zealand at the 2019 Venice Biennale. The Auckland artist and lecturer at AUT’s School of Art and Design has exhibited in more than 70 shows around the world. He makes art which ‘investigates the connection between tangible objects and intangible phenomenon and our senses and consciousness.’ For the 58th International Art Exhibition in Venice he’s going to transmit broadcasts throughout the historical city, from the exhibition’s home base at the Giardini della Biennale.
City Gallery Wellington is closed until March. A major refurbishment of the foyer and entranceway is planned, along with changes to the main staircase and general building maintenance. The gallery will reopen on 3 March with the exhibition This Is New Zealand. Bill Culbert and Ralph Hotere’s Fault, which has been running on the exterior of the gallery since 1994, will remain while the work is carried out.

Pātaka Museum’s new interactive children’s gallery Our Harbour – Te Awarua-o-Porirua is now open. Pātaka director Reuben Friend says the gallery, which features murals, objects from Pātaka’s history collection and lots of interactive games, captures the essence of Porirua. Visitors are invited to explore the history of Te Awaruao-Porirua Harbour and learn about the lives of people and creatures who have lived there.
Michael Browne has won the Governor-General Art Award 2017. The Wellington painter says his art is a process of continuous change. Most recently his work has been inspired by the colours, patterns and images he absorbed on a trip to India. Solo 43, a retrospective of Michael’s huge body of work, is at the Academy Galleries in Wellington until 14 December.
Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki has appointed its very first Head of Public Engagement. Neal Stimler comes from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and gallery director Rhana Devenport says she’s is thrilled to have appointed such a highly skilled leader. Two other roles in the new public engagement team have been filled by Johnny Hui and Ioka Magale-Suamasi.

There are seven prizes including a $1000 Open Award sponsored by John Mowbray. At Mahara Gallery until 14 January.
28 Strong foundation Roberta Thornley has won the Arts Foundation’s Marti Friedlander Photographic Award. Roberta is the first recipient of the award since Marti, who noted Roberta’s potential back in 2008, passed away in November last year. Roberta’s work is described as simple, discreet and evocative. Sarjeant Gallery curator Greg Donson describes Roberta as a photographer who engages with her subjects to explore what it means to be human. The Friedlander award, which includes a $25,000 donation, is presented every two years to an established photographer with a record of excellence.

Jewellery that laughs
Contemporary jeweller Moniek Schrijer talks to Mary-Jane Duffy, about memory, meaning and the language of materials.
I am wearing my Moniek Schrijer necklace as I write. She won’t like me telling you this because it’s one of her rejects. I bought it from her when she was still a student in the Whitireia jewellery programme in 2012. It is made of four Bakelite napkin rings in different colours joined by a grey compound flecked with silver wire, and hung on grey electrical cable. What I love about it — and in much of Moniek’s work — is a bold poetic eye for combining and reconfiguring materials. But not in a way that obscures their origins; in a way that relocates them as jewellery with a gutsy, experimental elegance. And an anarchic wittiness.

Moniek is part of the contemporary jewellery community that has been developing in Aotearoa since the seventies. These days it’s connected to the international network of jewellers, and a number of practitioners regularly go overseas for exhibitions and projects. In Wellington the presence of heavyweight internationals Lisa Walker and Karl Fritsch lends experience and support to the local jewellery community. An exhibition of Lisa Walker’s work will re-launch the new Te Papa art spaces in 2018. Thanks to the hard work of Peter and Hilda Deckers, a pathway for emerging jewellers has been forged to international exhibitions, espe-
cially the annual showcase of international work, Schmuck, in Munich. The bar is high. Last year Moniek won the prestigious Herbert Hoffman Prize at Schmuck alongside two other international jewellers. The winning work was a smartphone-shaped necklace called Tablet Of, inscribed with a series of personalised symbols on its ‘screen’—symbols for tools, music, love, sadness etc. Ursula Ilse-Neuman, one of the four jury members who selected the winners, noted in a 2016 New York Times article that ‘Moniek does a lot with symbols, mixing old communication systems with new ones. Maybe her tablet in the future will be an archaeological find.’

This year thanks to Asia New Zealand and the Wellington City Council, Moniek has a residency on Xiamen, an island off the coast of China. The residency is based at the Chinese European Art Center (CEAC), which was established by Icelandic couple Ineke and Sigurður Guðmundsson in 1999. She told me they were still coming to terms with her work and what sort of artist she was. There’s not much contemporary jewellery produced in China yet—but you can bet it’s coming. Before she thought of applying for the residency, she had an exhibition at The National in Christchurch, called Double Happiness, which is the translated name of the Chinese character for joy and marriage. It is used by Chinese companies to brand everything from soy sauce to cigarettes. This exhibition included
a series of mutated symbols suggestive of maps, signage, objects, shadows, floor plans, diagrams or landforms. Each iteration of the symbols was a different size and in a different medium; the collection included rings, necklaces, sculptural objects, 3-D prints, and wall projections. Old and new symbols seemed to collide and become a new industrial language or a codification of an old one. As wall projections, the symbols evoked strange urban and rural landscapes, and as rings and necklaces, mementoes of a distant, lost past. These ideas have an obvious pertinence to China with its ancient modernity and culture of mass production. I asked her if being in China has affected her work in any way. She wondered if Xiamen is giving her a true experience of China, whether it was in fact China-lite,

but valued the range of materials she can access via the internet. She has discovered, for example, that she can buy the ceramic sunflower seeds used by Ai Weiwei in his Sunflower seeds (2010) shown at the Tate Modern, as well as any other number of ready-mades. An exhibition at the CEAC that will mark the end of her residency there. Called Diamonds and Rust, it opened on 25 November 2017. This exhibition examines memory through works made from computer hard drives, found and cast brass, ceramic sunflower seeds, painted bone, Ch’ing Dynasty coins, and miniature shopping carts. This list of materials itself is redolent with ideas about memory—ancient memories, found memories, memory storage, bought memory, collective memory, and the memory of materials cast in other materials.
And there it is, the thing that is so interesting about Moniek’s work; the way that she expands meaning and creates new meaning, often metaphorical, in the language of materials. There are quieter themes too: our careless consumerism and the ephemeral memory of the digital age. These themes don’t hit you over the head — they laugh at you. Connecting materials in fresh, metaphorical ways— the hard-drive pendants in the shape of the Ch’ing coin; the delicately painted blue bones called Bone China; the flakes of found brass threaded like a lei — she makes the voices of ancestors and wifi radio waves bounce off each other. And she shows, to quote Ursula Ilse-Neuman again, that ‘jewellery makers are not only body ornamenters, but thinkers’.
40 Book reviews
From the south Two recent books published by University of Otago Press examine the work of exhibiting artists.
Miranda Parkes: the merrier Hocken Collections, University of Otago Reviewed by Craig Beardsworth, former assistant editor ArtZone
Fifty years of the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship was celebrated last year. The Hocken Collection and Dunedin Public Art Gallery mounted a 49-artist*, two-institution behemoth exhibition. Miranda Parkes is the latest in a distinguished line of New Zealand artists who have been supported for a year in Dunedin to explore their practice. This is a 100-page catalogue marking the milestone. As a catalogue it is not intended to analyse, the artist’s modus operandi is in detail. It contains four short essays or ‘thoughts’ by Robyn Notman, Andrea Bell, Sophie Bannan and Parkes. They are in large bold fonts that make for quick, easy reading. It is
not the writing though that will draw in the readers but rather the punchy design. Parkes is known for her riotous use of colour and form. Three dimensional canvases are ‘puffed up and ruffled’ according to Notman, and are ‘exuberant and sensual.’ Even the works with more muted palettes have a liveliness about them − activity abounds in them and thus in the catalogue design. Daniel Blackball Alexander has captured Parkes’ dynamism with clever treatment of images. Many berate each other from facing pages, vying for attention with bright washes of colour behind them while others sit alone positioned at the top of a page facing a blank page. Some pages are on high gloss, others on thicker paper. A poem meanders its way across six leaves of uncoated paper, calm among the cacophony of colour. This is design at its best, capturing the spirit of the subject. It’s loud and unforgiving, joyous and rowdy – just like the art. * in 1996/97 one artist held the fellowship for two years.
41 Undreamed of… 50 Years of the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship Otago University Press Reviewed by Janet Hughes, a Wellington scholar, writer and editor
This is a solid academic history of the University of Otago’s Hodgkins Fellowship – it has been held with distinction by a parade of New Zealand’s finest – and a systematic survey of the artists who have held it over its 50 years so far. It is also an engaging coffee table book, with high production values and generous illustrations. The scene is set with an opening discussion of the fellowship’s impact on the arts in New Zealand, by Priscilla Pitts, and another by Joanne Dell of the factual history of its foundation. This pattern is followed in the body of the book, with paired essays about each of the holders
of the award. The first, again by Priscilla Pitts, focuses on the artist’s art-making practice and their reception and impact, putting their careers in a philosophical and art-historical frame. Andrea Hotere’s essay then gives us a more personallyfocussed account of the artist’s life and work, working as much as possible from interviews and personal documents. The result has a fine balance, the art and the artist emerging out of these complementary accounts in a richly complex way that neither single approach could have yielded. Pitts’ essays are eloquent and scholarly, often with a striking take on the material. They form an impressive whole. Hotere’s are more uneven, necessarily because the source material is variable. The most engaging are generally those incorporating first-hand interviews, though they are never less than illuminating contributions. There is a scattering of small errors (mostly in names), which editing ought to have caught in an otherwise thoroughly scholarly volume.
This is a book to dip into, but I quickly found myself reading at length, a testament to its engaging writing and absorbing topic. The illustrations are very well chosen, mostly depicting key works discussed in the text, and the standard of reproduction high. And the captions are scrupulously complete, with the details of size and media that are crucial to reading scaled-down flat photos of full-size artworks in countless materials. It’s become common for art books to omit some of this detail, presumably in search of a clean-looking page. This volume is consistently scholarly and thorough in such matters. In detailing the chronological story of the successive fellowships, the book delivers a selective but representative enough history of the visual arts in New Zealand in the modern and subsequent era, such has been the success of the fellowship itself in targeting its largesse. And it’s so affordable at $59.95 it’s downright necessary.

Gu Dexin, Plastic Pieces, 1983-85, 287 burned plastic pieces
You can see and feel the spaces created by censorship and silence in China After 1989 writes Sophie McKinnon.
Free speech, metaphorically Theatre of the World: Art in China After 1989 The year 1989 is synonymous with seismic shifts worldwide, and in China, one particular student-led protest calling for democracy met a violent end in Tiananmen Square. A 150-piece exhibition filling the rotunda and atrium of the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York does not offer a survey or conclusive narrative of contemporary art around this period. It provides a platform for the profoundly complicated history of two generations of artists and their work. Two weeks before China After 1989 opened, word that works involving deliberately created animal violence would be displayed surged through the activist community. Change.org released a petition to have these pieces
removed which garnered 750,000 signatures, while the Guggenheim received threats of retribution. In 2003, China was inaugurating new president Hu Jintao and economic growth was hitting a record high. In Beijing the same year, artist couple Sun Yuan and Peng Yu staged a performance which tethered pairs of ‘american pit bulls’ to treadmills. The dogs faced each other, salivating with aggression but unable to make contact. The seven-minute video was initially included in the exhibition but now only a title screen appears. Theater of the World, a large installation created ten years earlier by Paris-based artist Huang Yong Ping, features live insects and reptiles who inevitably engage in a vicious struggle for resources and survival. The question really is not whether the works were ethically sound at the time they were created (though the absence of moral critique of artworks in China at that time is itself revealing)
but what these pieces expose in terms of alternative contexts and histories. While Dogs that can never touch each other records a critically challenging moment in its concept and realization, ultimately re-staging Theater of the World condones creating an artificially sustained environment of violence for the purposes of metaphor and to represent a political standoff. Alexandra Munroe, Samsung Senior Curator for Asian Art at the Guggenheim, insisted in an artnet interview that the exhibition was “intended to be brutal”. Many of the works in the show have a remarkably corporeal violence: whether Xu Zhen‘s gradually reddening back from the repeated slaps of unseen hands in Uncertain Pleasures; Gu Dexin’s intestinally writhing plastic pieces and propaganda-like statements of stark brutality (co-curator Philip Tinari called Gu ‘the most important Chinese artist you have never heard of’); or Yang Jiechang’s monumental
46
Foreign assessment abstract ink painting detailing the paths of volunteers carrying bodies away from Tiananmen Square in 1989. One wall texts describes China’s artist community in the 1990s as bringing ‘art back into the realm of visceral reality’. Visitors to the exhibition can view references to the now removed pieces: empty structural parts and video monitors paired with thoughtfully PR’d wall texts represent the clash of two distinct ideologies. What seems curious is that proponents of free speech and the debunking of culturally dominant frameworks would fail to see their condemning of these pieces as an exercise in exactly such domination, with fundamental disregard for the worldview in which these works originated. The conditions in which they were created − largely isolation, displacement, and political oppression of the artists − gave rise to work which responded to brutality with brutality. Failure to exhibit the works as intended silences the validity and authority of that experience. At numerous points in the show, the parallels with or divergence from global movements is salient. Lin Tianmao, one
of only nine women artists included, rejects a feminist classification in interviews, explaining that feminism was an imported Western construct irrelevant to her practice at the time of making work in China while Qui Zhijie’s Map of the Theater of the World plots international politics and ideology as bilingual geography. Critics of the show, aside from those seeking to remove works, have noted the unusual failure to incorporate native China-based, Chinese curatorial perspectives. Apart from a modest film series organized by Ai Wewei, Hou Hanru (artistic director of the MAXII in Rome) is the only Chinese curator, and he has resided overseas for the past two decades. Some questioned the authenticity of the presentation, in which a tumultuous and uniquely Chinese era is documented by foreigners, for foreigners. Indeed, the non-Chinese contribution to documenting, archiving, collecting, and critiquing Chinese contemporary art after 1989 has been significant. Zhou Tiehai mocks this very fact with a large ink and collage piece titled “There Came a Mr. Solomon to China” (1994), responding to the inflated accounts of American writer
Andrew Solomon’s visit to China in 1993. While the exhibition makes it very clear that all the work is included precisely because its aesthetic merit lifts it out of an instrumentally ‘Chinese’ definition, the navigation of concepts from a Chinese context is what lends gravity and meaning to many of the pieces on view. One overwhelmingly large demographic visiting this exhibition has been Chinese, both overseas and local. On a busy Friday morning, small crowds of visitors speaking Mandarin cluster around some of the rarer ephemera, such as original brochures from the 1989 ‘no U-turn’ exhibition, traces of which have been all but erased from the object-based narrative of contemporary art in China. The majority of the works on view are held in private collections, and, because of sensitivity about their production and critique, are not accessible to the public in mainland China. Their entry into Guggenheim institutional history in one sense validates their contribution to a global arthistorical canon, and while this doesn’t acknowledge the rising generation of curatorial talent, it does offer contact with work which is seldom possible.

Nadine Smith, Sound of the sea, 2016, Brooch, dried seaweed, paint, ebony from piano keys and sterling silver.
Lovely bones It’s not a surprise to find out that Wellington jeweller Nadine Smith also works in the medical field. Her work is scattered with body parts in quantities that make sense for someone medically qualified, or possibly an axe-murderer. Working part-time as a nurse, she says her concepts relate to the ‘fragility of life’ and humans’ relationship with technology. She says her two occupations ‘go hand in hand’. Perhaps not so coincidentally, hands make multiple appearances in her work. She describes herself as an ‘avid recycler with magpie tendencies’, foraging for objects to use in her work.
When she was growing up on the Kāpiti Coast, she says her family would spend many weekends combing the beach for rocks and fossils, which was the start of her collecting objects. Smith likes to give new life to the gathered material. ‘There is humour in my work as a lot of combinations are happy accidents,’ she says. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing in 1996, in her mid-thrirties she decided to take a gap year and study art at Weltec. She then went on to complete a Bachelor of Applied Arts at Whitireia Polytechnic, graduating in 2009. It was at Whitireia, she says, she found her love of jewellery making, under the guidance of Peter Decker.
Eight years later, Smith has exhibited at Pataka, The Refinery Gallery, Alliages in France and, most recently, at the Pah Homestead in the Leanings, Handshake4 exhibition, open until 10 December. The Handshake project was curated by Wellingtonian Peter Deckers as a way to support New Zealand jewellers after their studies. Smith was one of six mentees selected by Ruudt Peters from the Netherlands for the two-year programme. Her assigned mentor is sculptor Regan Gentry. Her work will be at Toi Poneke for the International Festival of the Arts in March 2018 and at Corban Estate Arts Centre during Auckland Art Week next year.
50 Donna Marie Patterson, High Country Weather, Ink on Cotton paper, 75cm x 100cm, 2016
Home away from home Donna Marie Patterson’s deep relationship with New Zealand’s landscapes has always been the source of her drawings and sculptures, even when she’s away from home. The focus of her work is often on West Coast rivers, forests and glaciers, using repetitive forms to show ‘nature’s contant state of flux.’ Working previously as an
accountant and IT specialist, Patterson has always known she would pursue the arts but was waiting until her three daughters were more independent before she studied. She has just finished her Bachelor with Honours in Art at the University of Canterbury’s Ilam School of Fine Arts and is enrolled in the Master’s programme for next year. This year, she has exhibited in three solo shows, two at Refinery Art Space and one at Project Space, along with over ten group exhibitions across the
country, including the Wallace Art Awards exhibition. She has been a finalist in the National Contemporary Art Award, SELECT Art Award and the Zonta Female Art Award, and won a highly commended in the Molly Morpeth Painting and Drawing Award along with two scholarships from the University of Canterbury. Latino artists and their use of multiple media platforms were the main inspiration drawn from her recent travel scholarship to New York and Los Angeles. It has influenced her new body of work which will be exhibited at PG Gallery next year. Patterson often takes her fine art papers away with her when she travels, drawing in hotels. ‘It is surreal to draw inspiration from the Southern Alps, while being in tropical countries such as Singapore or Thailand’. At home, she has several studio and work spaces, but still manages to ‘take over the house.’ It has become a running joke with her family that she uses the bathroom for dying resins, spare room for art papers and the hallway for finished sculptures.

New room for heirlooms Jewellery often becomes heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation. For Wellington jeweller Chloe Rose Taylor her heirlooms became a ‘blob’, which she melted down for her exhibition SuperValue at The National in October. The idea for SuperValue came to Taylor at the Auckland Art Fair in 2015. She submitted a Twinkie for inclusion on the trade table, but it was declined on the basis that it wasn’t worth anything. Taylor began to think about how worth is subjective. She created work that unsettled the meaning of value. She paired gold, diamonds and pearls
with novelty brooches, two-minute noodles and of course, a Twinkie. Originally from Christchurch, Taylor began a Bachelor of Arts at Canterbury Polytechnic. Two years into her degree, jeweller Areta Wilkinson came to speak to her class. Inspired by the speech, Taylor moved to Wellington in 2011 to major in contemporary jewellery at Whitireia. ‘I was interested in jewellery because it combines art and sculpture with wear-ability.’ she says. ‘Jewellery becomes our armour.’ Despite being drawn to making jewellery she never wears any, aside from her engagement ring. ‘Everyone finds it strange that I never wear any jewellery. My work is about other people and what I think they would enjoy wearing’ she says. Since graduating in 2013, Taylor has
exhibited throughout Australasia. Her first major solo exhibition was Rock Lobster at The National in 2015. This year, Taylor has been working in her home studio in Wellington. She’s exhibited in the group exhibition The River Lie at The Suter, along with her solo exhibition at The National. She’s also experimenting with metal and silversmithing, something she says she loved to do while studying, but after graduating moved on to resin. Taylor says she doesn’t want to be boxed in as a ‘jeweller’ and doesn’t want her work to take itself too seriously. Instead, her work makes weird and wonderful things out of the ordinary, in any form that works best. Whether that’s a melted blob of Grandma’s old jewellery, a moulded poo shape on the floor of the exhibition, or a Twinkie in a frame.

Here come the drums
Massey University industrial-design graduate Rachael Hall has received an international Red Dot Award for her honours project, a handcrafted drum, Patō (‘to strike’). The drum has also won a supreme award ECC NZ Student Craft/Design award and gold at the New Zealand Best Awards this year. The design is a modern take on the traditional Tongan lali (drum) and is electronic, tuneable and portable. Hall, who is half Tongan, flew to Singapore in October to collect her Red Dot Award, with help from Massey’s Pasifika Directorate. Hall is now a Massey technical assistant and is looking to get Patō manufactured. She plans to continue to design instruments.
Double Dan
Dan Cunliffe was a double finalist in the ECC New Zealand Student Craft/Design Awards this year. The EIT graduate’s two projects were a collection of ceramic beakers and flasks, Ceramic Collections, and a concrete and timber coffee table, Coffee Table 65. They were created as coursework over the past two years. Born and raised in Napier, Cunliffe says the art scene there is thriving and he is eager to get involved in the community now that he has finished his degree. But as a solo father, he says finding a balance between creative time and family time can sometimes be difficult. His passion is with materiality and construction, and he is hoping to eventually run his own business.
Two on Dixon
From March 2018, Whitireia and WelTec students from all areas of the arts will study together under one roof in the Te Kāhui Auaha building on Dixon Street, Wellington. The new purpose-built campus has dance studios, performance spaces and mixing rooms for students of performance arts. It will also cater for the applied arts, with facilities for jewellery making, graphic design and textiles. Whitireia’s art programmes have been running for 30 years. The new location for creative students is just a stone’s throw from Whitireia’s central campus on Dixon St, where media and communications students are based.

Harry Culy, Swimming pool, Woodville,archival pigment print on Ilford photographic paper, framed in Tasmanian Oak, 1016 x 812.8mm
Take me back When photographer Harry Culy came back from overseas travel, he visited the place where he’d always felt a sense belonging as a child, his grandmother’s farm. But this time he felt instead an overwhelming sense of displacement and disconnection from his surroundings. From this feeling, his project Rose Hill, at Parlour Projects, arose. Rose Hill, showing until 22
December, contrasts picturesque New Zealand landscapes, with empty, still moments in landscape. Culy started at his grandmother’s farm, Rose Hill, Maraekakaho, then explored the wider Hawkes Bay area on a ‘photographic road trip.’ Inspired by the Gothic element in Aotearoa’s art tradition, the work explores the feeling of displacement, something he says is a ‘universal feeling among youth at the moment’. Culy graduated with Honours in Photography at Massey University Wellington only a few months ago,
and has already curated exhibitions and has shown his work in Australia and New Zealand. Earlier this year he curated Where the River Bends at Ilam Gallery in Christchurch. He has also exhibited in a two-person show Evidence at China Heights in Sydney. In his spare time, he’s been running a project called Bad News Books, making small affordable booklets and collaborating with other New Zealand photographers. The booklets featured in the graduate-run Wellington gallery Playstation last month.

Worn but not old Vivienne Worn, recent Elam graduate, is fascinated with historical female painters. Earlier this year, she had been researching the work of French avantgarde painter, Marie Laurencin, when she came across a book of handmade lithographs. Having previously only seen Laurencin’s work online, Worn was ‘completely taken’ with the ‘delicate graceful drawings.’ From this fascination, the idea for her exhibition in April this year, Re-reading Laurencin, at
Window Gallery, Auckland University’s gallery space. Not only is Worn intrigued by Laurencin’s work, closely reading her marks and trying out the possibilities it raised for her own work, but she is also fascinated with Laurencin herself. She says Laurencin’s international career spanned over forty years, and she ‘invented her own, very distinctive, painterly language’. Worn was also a finalist this year in The Wallace Arts Award and was included in a Graduate Art Fair in Guangzhou, China. She has a couple of shows
already in the pipeline for next year, including an exhibition at Enjoy Gallery. Worn says she has been developing a method of painting that sits between abstraction and figuration over the past two years. She will continue to revisit the work of historical female painters. ‘I have recently become fascinated with the British modernists who were active at the same time as the likes of New Zealanders Frances Hodgkins and Rhona Haszard.’ Worn says. ‘I look forward to delving into that portion of history next.’
