Notes
To the memory of Julian Dashper
One of the highlights for staff over the eight or so years that the Christchurch Art Gallery was open prior to the shakes was the opportunity to work alongside Julian Dashper on his exhibition To The Unknown New Zealander.

Collection
Michael Parekowhai Cosmo McMurtry
Some characters aren’t quite what they seem, no matter how charming. Michael Parekōwhai’s Cosmo McMurtry is a noxious pest in the guise of a Disney-worthy bunny. Even his doe-eyed, cutesy appearance can’t quite erase our awareness of the toll his endlessly multiplying relatives have taken on Aotearoa New Zealand’s natural environment. It’s a short hop from one introduced, invasive species to the next, which leads us to an uncomfortable question: is Cosmo a rabbit-shaped personification of colonisation?
