Many of the contemporary pieces in Nō Konei | From Here, shown in Te Pātaka o Tā Te Atawhai Archie John Taiaroa, were created by artists who are alumni of the gallery’s Tylee Cottage artist-in-residence programme, established in 1986 and supported by Creative NZ. These works were made in response to time spent in Whanganui, and will be shown with new works by over twenty current practitioners.
The artists chosen for this exhibition represent diverse points of view and voices, the commonality being their link to here and what the kaupapa ‘nō konei’ evokes for them
