Manawa
The last six years have been a remarkable journey of discovery for the Spirit Wrestler Gallery in Vancouver, Canada. Representing Maori art has been an awakening. Manawa coincides with the tenth anniversary of Spirit Wrestler Gallery. Manawa is not intended as a testament to the 'best in Maori art.' Manawa showcases Maori art through three-dimensional work, especially wood, which is a medium shared by both Northwest Coast and Maori artists, and therefore a natural transition for collectors new to Maori art.

Focusing on the period between 1840 and 1940, this volume takes a novel look at the exhibitionary cultures of this period and examines the motivations, scope, and impact of lesser-known exhibitions in, for example, Australia, Japan, Brazil, as well as a number of European countries. The individual case studies included explore the role of these exhibitions in the global exhibitionary network and consider their ?marginality? related to their location and omission by academic research so far. ...
Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission: Lisa Reihana
This catalogue showcases GLISTEN, a kinetic sculpture by Lisa Reihana, an Aotearoa New Zealander artist. Activated by wind and sunlight, the sculpture mirrors its environment with shimmers across its surfaces, inviting interaction within its triangular space. GLISTEN honours the weaving traditions of Southeast Asia and Aotearoa, allowing Songket and Māori Tāniko patterns to meet and coexist in a vibrant and harmonious visual celebration. The publication includes a curatorial essay, a dialogue with the artist about her creative process, and stunning photographs of GLISTEN. A foldout insert, designed to reflect the essence of GLISTEN, allows readers to peruse the intricate designs, accompanied by annotated text.
Arts and Crafts Movement in New Zealand, 1870-1940
"Reveals ... the exquisite work and extraordinary skill of a group of New Zealand artists, most of them women, working in a wide variety of art and craft forms ... This flowering of local talent ... originated in the British Arts and Crafts movement and is associated with the growth of art education in this country: its quiet but dedicated character also suggests much about the situation of women in the years before and after 1900"--Jacket.
