Star Gossage All the Flowers and the Clouds in Her Hair
“The whakapapa is connected here in this land because our ancestors have always been here since the beginning. […] They’ve always been here and they’ve always connected here, that’s why we’re still here. […] They’re in the land and we’re here with them.” —Star Gossage
Often autobiographical, Star Gossage’s paintings are imbued with the place they are made, Pakiri, on the northeast coast above Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. This is her tūrangawaewae, and she often incorporates elements from the area, such as clay used in this work, directly into her paintings – providing a direct link between the land, herself and her tīpuna.

Welcome to the spring edition of Bulletin. As I write this, the country has once again entered a period of level four lockdown, which will mean some uncertainty and anxiety for many of us. It's not yet clear when we will leave lockdown, which means that printing deadlines and exhibition openings dates may have to be moved, so please do check on our website for updates.
Commentary
Art Over Nature Over Art
Place branding increasingly stands as both a visual practice and a modality of governance. That is what makes it slippery. There is much more to branding than a logo or style. It is a manifestation of power.
Commentary
The Dunedin Christchurch Sound
A particularly romantic image attached to the record label Flying Nun shortly after its inception in 1981: journalists claimed it captured the purity of musicians playing without regard for fame or fortune. The label’s output became collectively known as the Dunedin Sound and formed the basis of a reputation that has shrouded Dunedin in classic rock mythology and mystery for the last forty years.
