Director's Foreword
Director's Foreword
Welcome to the summer issue of Bulletin. The last few months have held some big moments for the Gallery. A particular highlight was the launch of our new exhibition Whāia Te Taniwha, accompanied by a day of talks, tours and storytelling, and followed by Te Pō Taniwha, a fantastic night of art and music. It was wonderful to see so many people in the Gallery enjoying themselves and engaging with this terrific show.
Interview
Living Archives
Archives are collections of knowledge used to tell stories about artists and history. By drawing on the legacy of art historians Jonathan Mane-Wheoki, Julie King and Karen Stevenson, Living Archives focuses on intergenerational relationships, artistic lineage and creative networks. Gallery librarian and archivist Tim Jones and curator Melanie Oliver sat down to talk about archives and art history as they prepared for this exhibition.
Artist Profile
Raymond McIntyre
It’s been too long a time between exhibitions for expatriate Waitaha Canterbury artist Raymond McIntyre (1879–1933) here at the Gallery. Although his work is regularly included in group exhibitions, the last focused survey was forty years ago when Raymond McIntyre toured to the Robert McDougall Art Gallery. Maybe a few of our readers remember this exhibition, but it feels like time he was introduced to a new audience.
