Lisa Reihana | Ngāpuhi: Ngāti Hine, Ngāi Tu | New Zealand b.1964 | Dandy (from Digital Marae 2001–ongoing) 2007 | Digital colour print on crystal flex paper on aluminium ed. 2/5 | 200 x 120cm | Purchased 2008 with funds from the Estate of Vincent Stack through the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation | Collection: Queensland Art Gallery
More than 120 works by over 30 artists feature in ‘Unnerved: The New Zealand Project’ — from intimate works on paper to large-scale installations and major film works. Bringing together works from 1967 to the present, the exhibition engages with New Zealand’s changing social, political and cultural landscape as the country navigates its indigenous, settler and migrant histories.
These works explore a changing sense of place, the continued importance of contemporary Māori art, bi-culturalism, a complex colonial past, the creative reworking of memory, the importance of cinema, and the often interconnected mediums of performance, video and photography.
