New Zealand Modernist He Ringatoi Hou o Aotearoa

Te Papa touring exhibition Rita Angus: New Zealand Modernist | He Ringatoi Hou o Aotearoa brings together 20 works by one of New Zealand’s most iconic 20thcentury artists, Rita Angus (1908–1970).

The works on display span Angus’s life and career as an artist, drawing out the themes of pacifism, feminism and nature, which shaped much of her work.

The exhibition includes many of Angus’s most important works, including Rutu (1951), Cleopatra (1938) and Central Otago (1953–56/1969).

Artwork: Rita Angus, Central Otago. Oil on board, 1953–56/1969. Collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, gift of Douglas Lilburn, 1972.

Sitting Around the Table

A ceramic exhibition centring around themes of food, body and identity through a pan-Asian lens, showcasing works of three of Auckland’s most exciting emerging Asian artists: Cindy Huang, Ruby White and Sung Hwan Bobby Park.

Sitting Around the Table is an invitation for artists to gather around and tell their stories. Aiming to subvert traditional ideas around ceramics and explore how artists blur the boundaries between art and craft, the exhibition delves into the idea of how the body exists in a liminal space between past and present, art and craft, belonging and alienation.
