Description: "Other Stories is Joe Sheehan's first survey exhibition, bringing together thirty sculptural objects from the past ten years of his practice. Sheehan has fashioned a unique identity for himself creating work which explores the contemporary relevance of stone carving in New Zealand. His exquisitely carved, carefully considered pieces - beautiful replicas of everyday objects in stone - engage with the classic tradition of stone sculpture, yet confound the usual expectations of the medium. Sheehan's body of work in the last decade has attracted considerable critical acclaim for its technical skill, which is always both eloquent and restrained, and for his repositioning of stone carving in a contemporary conceptual framework."--Publisher website.

Description: "Although they were the last part of the habitable world to receive human residents, the Chatham Islands at 44 degrees south, are windy and wet, but in no way sub-Antarctic. Tradition records that four double-canoes drifted to 'Rekohu', apparently before AD 1500, after which no further canoes and people arrived for three to four hundred years ... There were at least 2,000 Moriori when the first foreigners visited in 1791, followed by sealers from about 1810. Two Maori tribes fleeing from musket wars in New Zealand invaded Rekohu in 1835 ... The last Moriori without any foreign genes died in 1933. By then the Moriori language was extinct. A few words had been collected before 1887, but no grammar. These remnants show that the Moriori language was closely similar to Maori, but with very different pronunciation, and was also similar to the old language of Easter Island."--Publisher's description.

Description: "When he died in 1938, Captain William McKillop was recognised as the last local master mariner to have captained a square-rigged whaleship. His career had spanned many phases, including sealing, whaling, fishing and coastal trading in New Zealand and Tasmania. McKillop's lively reminisces formed the basis for two books by the renowned Australian folklorist, Will Lawson: Harpoons Ahoy! and Bill the Whaler. Before those books were written, however, McKillop had dictated his memoirs to a colleague of the Tasmanian whaling enthusiast Dr Willam Crowther. This book bfrings to life the last decades of whaling and seagoing trading voyages under sail in New Zealand and Australia."--back cover

Description: "In Flyte surveys highlights from the past fifteen years of Niki Hastings-McFall's creative practice. The exhibition showcases the full scope of her art practice from her seminal lei and light box series to her more recent diorama and lamp series. Cross-cultural translation has been a central concern throughout Hastings-McFall's artistic career. Her work is essentially urban and biographical and is shaped by her research into, and encounters with, her dual Samoan and pakeha heritage. Born in Titirangi, Auckland, Hastings-McFall was raised by her European grandparents and first met her Samoan father in 1992. A key figure in the contemporary Pacific art scene Hastings-McFall's work draws attention to the cultural stereotypes of the Pacific within contemporary culture, including the influence of Christianity in Samoan culture."--Publisher description.
