Travel from the present day back to the 1600s, uncovering the creativity and cultural diversity of New Zealanders. Discover their preoccupations with identity, migration and the land.

Begin your journey among video, photography, sculpture and painting by contemporary New Zealand artists. See Michael Parekowhai's sculpture, The Indefinite Article, which - layered with meaning - was first exhibited when he was just 21.

Continue to the period 1900 to 1965 and find paintings by Colin McCahon and Rita Angus. Encounter Ralph Hotere's horizon-spanning mural, Godwit/Kuaka, which for many years greeted travellers arriving at Auckland International Airport.

Further on, discover how New Zealanders first saw themselves and their lands. Via early European impressions of the islands to Goldie and Lindauer's classic portraits of Māori and Pākehā, reach both the beginning and the end of this story of New Zealand art.

]]> Victorian Tales of Love and Enchantmenthttp://www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/events/2011/september/victorian-tales-of-love-and-enchantmentMon, 17 Jun 2013 17:38:19 GMThttp://www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/events/2011/september/victorian-tales-of-love-and-enchantment Yearning and desire - for a loved one, an unrequited love, a way of life long gone - underlies many of the paintings in Victorian Tales of Love and Enchantment.

During the 19th century, exploration and archaeological discoveries illustrated much about ancient cultures. These led to the development of a new movement - Aestheticism - focusing on beauty for its own sake, rather than for historical narrative. Other artists were fascinated by the mystique surrounding the great queens of antiquity and the heroes of mythology.

Scenes of modern life were equally popular. Painting was a powerful tool, a writer in The Athenium noting, 'It is our firm conviction that the artist's pencil has done more to create sympathy and consideration for those whose fortunes and sufferings have been its theme, than a host of pamphleteers could have worked.'

While industrial development ultimately brought massive wealth to Britain, Death, the great leveller, waited in the wings whether you were rich or poor. Lovers separated by death longed for the joyous renewal awaiting them in the next world; the tragic demise of romantic figures from the past creating a powerful link with the present.

Gaze upwards at Choi Jeong Hwa's signature inflatable flowers as they burst into bloom inside the Gallery's atrium. Described as the 'bad boy of Korean art', Choi's eye-popping work turns an overabundance of petals into a joyful jumble of flowers that spill illuminated from the atrium's ceiling.

Choi's installations are one of three temporary commissioned works which celebrate the opening of the developed Gallery.

]]> Little Miracleshttp://www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/events/2012/june/little-miraclesWed, 27 Mar 2013 09:58:30 GMThttp://www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/events/2012/june/little-miracles Every culture has rituals and symbols that link daily life to the sacred realm of gods and goddesses, whether a single divinity or many. Numerous forms of faith also have magical messengers, such as saints or angels. Our understandings of their divine powers, their roles and the means by which people relate to them, have come down to us through oral histories, art and literature, with some remaining unchanged over the centuries, and others responding to current movements within a particular form of faith.

Little Miracles demonstrates the function of small-scale religious images, created to be displayed in domestic environments rather than on chapel or church walls. They  graphically demonstrate the power of faith and contemplation to conjure up the divine, while traditionally serving as conduits for the faithful, allowing them to communicate with the saints and members of the Holy Family. Whether asking advice or begging for assistance in their daily struggles, such interactions served to give meaning to the tragedies and joys of life.

It features two works: Dusted with Spices of a Million Flowers and The Direction of Sunbeams.

'Tiffany Singh uses different materials and icons in her work to promote cultural inclusivity and understanding', says Roger Taberner, Learning Programme Manager. 'It is her hope that this artwork will encourage visitors to share their views and gain a new appreciation of the world around them.'

Visitors are encouraged to experiment and participate in the creative process through a series of hands-on activities inspired by the artworks. They are also invited to share their thoughts in response to the experience.

]]> Temples for the Godshttp://www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/events/2013/january/temples-for-the-godsWed, 27 Mar 2013 10:00:58 GMThttp://www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/events/2013/january/temples-for-the-gods Many of the people clambering over the ruins of ancient Rome in the 17th and 18th centuries were merely curious about the secret city half-hidden beneath their feet. Connoisseurs, however, were acutely aware of the ruins' original function - as temples for gods and goddesses, and monuments for famous Romans.

Collectors avidly sought out original sculptures, sarcophagi and fragments of buildings from the Renaissance onwards, and in later centuries there was a thriving market for copies of major works. The discovery of the ruined townships of Pompeii and Herculaneum, near Naples, caused a widespread classical revival throughout Europe, known as Neoclassicism.

Translations and reprints of early texts whetted the appetite of connoisseurs. The names of Greek and Roman gods, as well as the heroes of mythology, became familiar to many, their symbolic meanings adapted to illustrate the ideals of the times.

This second part of Temples for the Gods draws on works from our collections which illustrate this ongoing fascination with the past. The curious 18th century onlookers populating them are joined by the heroic figures who were commemorated or worshipped in these buildings long ago.

Hollar's carefully observed scenes illustrate his many journeys in Europe, England and north Africa. Explore this artist's dramatic life and times in an exhibition that draws on our large collection of his remarkable prints.

Led by renowned curator Hou Hanru, If you were to live here... includes work by more than 35 New Zealand and international artists, collectives and architects.

Previously curator of major biennials including Lyon, Istanbul, and Guangzhou, Hou has invited artists to respond to the diverse cultural, social, architectural and urban characteristics of Auckland. 'A triennial,' he says, 'is a space for producing new aesthetic forms and social spaces. It is not only an occasion to see art, but an interaction between artists, people and the city to envisage possible futures.'

Transforming Topographies
 Albert Refiti and Rau Hoskins
AUT exploring socio-cultural- politico 'problematics' within and around Auckland.

Owing to the changing desires and needs of its inhabitants, the urban environment is continuously formulated, constructed, negotiated and altered, in order to provide a more positive and sustainable setting for human interaction and liveability. Patterns are changed, forms reinvented and places continuously made and unmade to create a fluctuating multifunctional matrix to better accommodate the ever increasing multiplicity of its residents demands.
Transforming Topographies have brought together a group of thinkers, collaborators, makers and designers to reconsider the role of 'the social' and 'the public' as real spaces of continuous change, exchange and encounter, that interrogates how future urban communities might function and how they are valued.

Disasters, Fires and Slow-motion Earthquakes
 Andrew Barrie

Andrew Barrie's project for the Auckland Triennial looks to apply his more-with-
less approach at an urban scale, addressing the impact of the Christchurch
earthquake. Barrie's project looks to put Christchurch's current challenges in the context of the rebuilding of Napier after the 1931 earthquake and subsequent fires, and of the future challenges facing Auckland, where both increased insurance costs and building code changes threaten to cut a swathe through our stock of heritage buildings, creating a slow-motion earthquake that may devastate New Zealand's towns and cities for decades to come.
