Tai Moana Tai Tangata - Brett Graham

Just opened at City Gallery Wellington is Tai Moana Tai Tangata, an exhibition developed with the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth which, on its debut in Taranaki was described as one of the most impressive and ambitious solo exhibitions in recent times. With large ornately carved objects ranging from what resemble colonial memorials, gun turrets and a pataka on a carriage to a range of moving image works, Graham interrogates the history of the Taranaki land wars, relating them to key issues today.
