This richly illustrated catalogue bringing together more than 120 works by over 30 artists, from the late 1960s to the present explores a particularly rich, dark vein found in contemporary New Zealand art and cinema, and includes a strong focus on photography and moving-image works. Featured artists are amongst others, Michael Parekowhai, Lisa Reihana, Michael Stevenson, and Yvonne Todd. Essays by the Gallerys curatorial staff explore the work of each artist and provide an insight in New Zealands rich cultural art scene.
