Ka kino to pounamu he pounamu onamata
Finishing Date: 30 January 2005
The New Gallery, Auckland Art Gallery, NZ
http://www.aucklandartgallery.govt.nz/exhibitions/0410pounamu.asp
"Ka kino to pounamu he pounamu onamata translated means your greenstone is awesome and it comes from a tradition.
Pounamu, greenstone, is a prized treasure, a symbol of wealth, a token of peace-making. Originally from the realm of the ocean, pounamu began as a mythical being, a great fish, which was transformed into everlasting translucent stone.
The exhibition presents pounamu as a metaphor for treasured objects, ideas and concepts, re-staging elements of Maori and Pacific body adornment. It also celebrates diverse cultural and visual art practices which have intersected over time."
Curator: Ngahiraka Mason, Auckland Art Gallery.
The exhibition includes works by:

Gordon Bennett is well known throughout Australia for paintings which explore postcolonial thinking on the history of Australia and its indigenous inhabitants.
