— a hugely popular exhibition for families in our Creative Learning Centre which was forged through a spirited collaboration involving students from Balmoral Primary School, AUT’s TurnSpace Collective and Auckland artist Judy Darragh. Darragh was also our invited artist for the North Atrium commission, delighting audiences with the large scale sculptural installation Limbo. These exhibitions provided our highly skilled Registration and Exhibition Design teams with fresh challenges and opportunities to experiment.

Introduction Rhana Devenport Director

What might art museums be in the 21st century?

They need to be spaces of wonder, sites of encounter, zones for experimentation, safe places for unsafe ideas, portals to empathy, and organisations which encourage the formation of thoughtful tomorrows. Art museums can activate cultural literacy and respond to the expressiveness of people’s lives in a time of radically shifting expectations and realities. They offer hope and persuasive arguments. Great museums are agile, nimble entities. They’re always listening. Artists sit at the heart of great museums and their artworks generate great conversations. It’s our role to invite people into these conversations, to stimulate their participation, to provide a laboratory for art and ideas.

This past year, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki has created 19 exhibitions. Of these the most ambitious and impactful was Space to Dream: Recent Art from South America, a co-curated project which generated residencies and collaborations with universities and communities across the country for visiting artists, alongside a complex exhibition, engaging public programme and a bilingual publication. This project revisited the ambition of our Auckland Triennials in its international scope and depth of curatorial analysis.

Other important exhibitions came out of the Gallery’s decision to partner with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, to co-commission a new multi-screen

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

installation by Shanghai-based artist Yang Fudong; and our collaboration with India’s National Museum for The Story of Rama: Indian Miniatures from the National Museum, New Delhi. These signalled a fresh attentiveness to Auckland’s remarkable cultural diversity and an acknowledgement of its place in the world.

The Gallery’s exhibitions of international extension notwithstanding, New Zealand art remains at our core.

It was a pleasure to partner with City Gallery Wellington for an exhibition of photographs by the renowned Auckland-based Ngāi Tahu artist in Fiona Pardington: A Beautiful Hesitation. Two major projects showcasing contemporary New Zealand art practice were supported by the Chartwell Trust: Necessary Distraction: A Painting Show, which investigated the nuanced vitality of painting today; and John Ward Knox’s commission for the North Terrace, Hardly Held Lightly, which acknowledged the Gallery’s close relationship with our beautiful neighbour, Albert Park. The artist-curated project Wunderrūma: New Zealand Jewellery riffed off its earlier incarnations to include an unexpected play of works drawn from the Gallery’s collection. The importance of collectionfocused exhibitions continued with New Zealand Art: Insights and Connections, Adorned Histories, Frances Hodgkins: Forgotten Still Life and Len Casbolt’s Photography: From Soft Focus to Sharp Vision. The runaway success this year was Hole of Yellow Archipelago

We undertook co-publications for the Fiona Pardington and Yang Fudong exhibitions, and produced significant books ourselves to accompany both Necessary Distraction and Space to Dream. The latter broke new ground with its bilingual imperative and the commissioning of multiple essays which traced the radicalism and poeticism informing the practice of artists from the 1970s to the present day throughout South America.

The Gallery is deeply committed to research, not only in our curatorial and publishing endeavours and the E H McCormick Research Library, but also in the work undertaken by the Conservation Research Centre. This involves new analysis and treatments on items in our collection and also artworks which come to us from outside the institution. The conservation of historical works by two British painters — Nazarene-trained Frederic Leighton and Victorian artist William Calderon — resulted in their reappraisal within the collection while strengthening links with partners and colleagues, including Manawatu Museum Services and AUT University.

year augmented our verbal description tours for visitors, offering conversation, sensory experiences and art making to those who are blind or have low vision.

Recognition within our wider museum and design communities saw several nominations and awards. These included Hole of Yellow Archipelago being nominated for the Installation section of The Interior Awards; the publication Lisa Reihana: in Pursuit of Venus winning a Gold at the Best Design Awards; and the Museums Aotearoa award Best Metropolitan Exhibition for Lisa Reihana: in Pursuit of Venus [infected]. Internationally, our collaboration with The Gallery of West Bohemia for the successful exhibition Gottfried Lindauer: 1839 – 1926 Pilsen Painter of the New Zealand Māori earned the International Council of Museums ‘Czech Prize’ at the National Competition of Czech Museums awards in 2015.

Finally, our newly established Advancement Team has initiated major transformations in our approach to partnerships and generated wider support for our work, as well as establishing an entirely new Membership programme. The Auckland Art Gallery Foundation has seen major growth since re-launching in May 2016 to establish itself as the Gallery’s foremost platform for philanthropy.

The Gallery’s international reach, our close consideration of Auckland’s diverse populations, our deepening partnerships, our attention to Gallery-generated curatorship and our leadership in research are all significant features of this past year’s community-building and highly rewarding endeavours.

Professional development is essential for any cultural organisation and this year we continued the important Mayo Internship programme, supported by the John and Marylyn Mayo Foundation, with young professionals and scholars Hannah Murray and Jodi Meadows. These interns contributed significantly to our conservation and curatorial research and to our exhibition visitor programme development. Creating opportunities for the next generation of cultural professionals is also a priority for the Gallery’s Outreach Programme and we work with Manukau Institute of Technology and Unitec Institute of Technology to reach out beyond our building and take art and ideas into diverse communities.

Learning Programmes continue to expand and this

I’m proud of what we’ve achieved for the Gallery and am very much looking forward to our future direction, with supporters like yourselves.

Our Foundation Membership programme presents an opportunity to be truly involved in what the Gallery’s motivated and experienced team are achieving. In return, we watch the Gallery grow in strength and ensure its future for generations to come. We need to support the Gallery team by building an endowment fund and fostering arts philanthropy. To do so we have created a number of levels of philanthropy to reach a wide community of supporters.

Welcome Andrew Smith Foundation Chair

Art offers a means for communication and imaginative enquiry, and one of the roles of a public art gallery is to create opportunities for audiences to actively engage with art and with artists’ challenging perspectives. For this reason, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki works with artists, creates exhibitions, grows its collection and generates new research which situates art in both our national discourse and in the international context. The Auckland Art Gallery Foundation is directly involved in all of these activities through its support of the Gallery.

At the Foundation, we share the Gallery’s ambition to grow the role of art in our culture. Art’s communicative and transformative power is important to all of us, and we believe our support can make a difference and a positive contribution.

In May we held the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation Launch and inaugural Auckland Art Gallery Annual Appeal Dinner. Close to 160 guests attended a unique dining experience with cuisine by Peter Gordon and art direction by Judy Millar. This captivating event publicly launched the new direction of the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation and established its Annual Appeal.

With its newly launched Foundation Membership programme, which has already attracted a significant and growing number of generous Foundation Members and Donors, the Foundation’s commitment to building a legacy for future generations is well underway.

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

Our Foundation members enjoy a special relationship with the Gallery, receiving invitations to a range of events that offer intimate and in-depth perspectives on art and the Gallery’s work. These tailored events also provide an opportunity to meet fellow Foundation members and introduce new members to the Foundation.

This year the Foundation supported the exhibition publication Space to Dream: Recent Art from South America, which accompanied Australasia’s first major exhibition of art from South America. The Foundation also supported the Auckland Art Gallery Annual Appeal, which will see the acquisition of a site-specific artwork commissioned from Auckland/Berlin-based artist Judy Millar for the Gallery’s South Atrium. We held a very memorable ‘colourful cocktail’ evening with the artist to celebrate the unveiling of the concept model. Thanks to all who joined us — we look forward to welcoming you again when the final work is installed in 2017.

The Foundation is proud to have the exceptional support of our Foundation Partners, Business World Travel, Aesop, Amisfield, Dawsons Catering and Maison Vauron.

Together with Aesop we’ve already created a bespoke product for Auckland Art Gallery’s shop — the Essentials for Itinerant Art-lovers’ kit, with travel-sized skin, hair and body care products of the highest quality. Profits from the sale of these kits support the Foundation. As Chairman of the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation,

Space to Dream: Recent Art from South America

Ernesto Neto Just like drops in time, nothing, 2002 (installation detail) textile, spices Collection: Art Gallery of New South Wales — Purchased with assistance from Clayton Utz 2002

7 May – 18 September 2016

The most substantial presentation of art from South America yet to be shown in Australasia, Space to Dream: Recent Art from South America charted new territory for the Gallery. It sat in accord with the Gallery’s aim to broaden our region of engagement across the Pacific.

The project was collaborative in nature, involving the Gallery, Chilean co-curator Beatriz Bustos Oyanedel, who is based in Santiago, foundations, art schools, museums, private lenders, academic institutions and the selected artists. After several years’ research and exchange between the two co-curators, the project was conceived as an exhibition, publication, public programme and artist residencies in Auckland.

A theme shared by the project’s different components was the idea of the Global South, which consists of countries south of the equator whose governments and economies have traditionally been positioned in contrast to the ‘old world’ of the northern hemisphere. The creation of an ongoing ‘Global South’ conversation between visitors to Space to Dream, artists and curators, as well as readers of the book was a driving objective. This exchange will continue with an exhibition of New Zealand art generated by the Gallery for South America in 2017–18.

Space to Dream comprised work made from the 1960s to today by 42 artists and collectives from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. Almost 100 artworks, including commissions, represented key

foundational figures such as Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica and the collective C.A.D.A., all of whom challenged the society and institutions of their day, alongside younger artists who have responded to their contemporary situations with urgency and poeticism. The breadth of artistic media shown — painting, drawing, collage, music, poetry, photography, video, performance, sculpture, interactive work and installations — produced an immersive exhibition experience and reflected the complexity of South America today.

To provide additional experiences both inside and outside the exhibition, the Gallery devised an extensive public programme, which began at the opening weekend with performances, lectures and talks by five visiting artists, including the renowned Chilean artist, architect and filmmaker Alfredo Jaar. Over the course of the exhibition, four differently themed weekends and a South American film programme offered more interaction and brought people from South American communities together.

With the assistance of the Foundation, we published an illustrated, bilingual book of essays and information on the artists. The publication — more than a catalogue as such because of the depth of discussion in the essays — was distributed through book stores and galleries in South America, Mexico, the United States and Spain, providing the project with a far-reaching and enduring legacy.

Fiona Pardington: A Beautiful Hesitation 5 March – 19 June 2016

New Zealand photographer Fiona Pardington has created some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most haunting, affecting and challenging images. Her practice draws on and combines visible and invisible forces, historical enquiry, the language of museums, mātauranga Māori (Māori wisdom), and themes of death, intimacy and cultural politics.

feminism and the fetishised body, disease and Western museology, showed the beginnings of Pardington’s distinctive vision. The artist’s newer digital series, including the exquisite still-life photographs which extend her longstanding interest in the transformation of found objects, completed this important survey and revealed Pardington’s inexhaustible creative energy.

This exhibition, curated by Aaron Lister of City Gallery Wellington and modified for its presentation in Auckland, included work from a 30-year period and beautifully illustrated the evolution of Pardington’s oeuvre. Early analogue photographs investigating ideas about

Gallery curators contributed texts to a substantial book, co-published by the Gallery, Victoria University Press, City Gallery Wellington and Baker+Douglas, which was produced in both printed and electronic forms.

Honoré Daumier: Mirror to the World 12 December 2015 – 24 July 2016

Nineteenth-century political satirist Honoré Daumier is famous for his scathing assaults on the privileges and perceived vices of the French upper classes and the selfsatisfied Parisian bourgeoisie. Daumier’s images acted as a mirror to the society in which he lived. Reflecting on urban life and social mores, he produced a vast array of lithographs that entertained as they critiqued.

The Gallery’s print collection makes up just over one-third of our entire artwork holdings, and includes bodies of work by significant artists and schools of practice. Honoré Daumier: Mirror to the World was the product of ongoing investigations into our print holdings. This research is being carried out with the view not only to create new exhibitions but also to publish research findings.

Honoré Daumier: Mirror to the World presented the majority of the Gallery’s 40 prints by the artist, which were usually produced for one of several left-leaning, republican newspapers then circulating in Paris.

The fascinating mass-produced nature of Daumier’s lithographic works could be appreciated in this exhibition, particularly in those works where the newsprint on the reverse of the sheet was visible through the image.

New Zealand Art: Insights and Connections 7 March 2016 – ongoing

The contemporary relevance of the Gallery’s collection of New Zealand art is found in the ways it reflects the history and culture of our country. The defining characteristics of Aotearoa New Zealand’s culture and key events in the nation’s life do not develop and take place in isolation.

They result from dynamic connections between peoples of different cultures and nationalities, both inside and outside the country. New Zealand Art: Insights and Connections was the title given to a suite of exhibitions, each of which investigated distinct networks and associations present in the work of artists who draw inspiration from their immediate environments and from the wider world.

Topics represented in the discrete exhibitions making up this presentation of New Zealand art were wideranging. These included relations between the past and present in recent Māori art; ideas of appropriation and homage which created relations between New Zealand and international art in the 1980s and 90s; creative responses to the beauty and fragility of our shared Pacific environment; the disturbing and romantic power of the landscape; reflections on people and place in Aotearoa as seen through the eyes of 18thcentury voyagers and 19th-century colonists; and innovative perspectives on the familial and domestic in recent art. Presenting art dating from early colonial contact up to the present day, New Zealand Art: Insights and Connections signalled the robust and continued relevance of art across time in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Yang Fudong: Filmscapes

Yang Fudong The Coloured Sky: New Woman II, 2014 (installation detail) five-channel video installation, HD colour video, sound courtesy of Yang Fudong; ShanghART Gallery (Shanghai, Bejing, Singapore); and Marian Goodman Gallery (New York, Paris, London)

26 September 2015 – 25 January 2016

The Gallery’s dedication to regional programming and to growing cultural networks, with a focus on building new and productive relationships with Asia, was progressed by this striking survey of one of China’s foremost contemporary artists. Yang Fudong is internationally renowned for his expansive, allusive film and video installations. His captivating artworks, with long and suspended sequences and escalating narratives, show the influence of traditional Chinese painting and international cinema. Combining Chinese history and culture with Western aesthetics, Yang builds visual worlds steeped in dreams and fantasy.

Yang Fudong: Filmscapes was the artist’s first survey in Australasia. We partnered with the Australian Centre for Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne to tour the exhibition and to commission a new work — The Coloured Sky: New Women II, 2014. For the commission, Yang moved away from black and white film, which had been his signature, to produce a colour-saturated five-channel video work centred on the coming of age of three female characters. Under the shadow of China’s historic system of concubinage, the women search for their identities in a complex contemporary world.

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

Two other film works completed the exhibition in Auckland — the single-channel Yejiang/The Nightman Cometh, 2011, inspired in part by Federico Fellini’s 1963 film 8½; and the film noir drama The Fifth Night, 2010, shot using seven cameras simultaneously. Seen together in Filmscapes, the three works provided an in-depth view of this important Chinese artist’s evolving practice.

For the first time in our exhibition history the interpretation inside the gallery space was presented in Chinese and English. This bilingual approach was popular with visitors and meant that the artist’s inspiration and many cultural and political references were accessible to the majority of visitors. Journalists took the opportunity to interview Yang while he was in New Zealand for the exhibition opening, and a number of print articles were published in both Chinese and English. An image-rich bilingual publication, co-published with ACMI, included an interview with the artist and a curatorial essay.

Necessary Distraction: A Painting Show 28 November 2015 – 28 March 2016

Necessary Distraction: A Painting Show was an ambitious exhibition of largely abstract works by 19 emerging and mid-career New Zealand painters. It wrestled with the question: How can painting retain our and its own faith in the post-internet 21st century? Showing new and specially commissioned artwork the exhibition conveyed the way painters are using the medium’s flexibility to push against accepted ideas about what painting is and express its ongoing relevance and potency.

To reference and complement the provisional nature of the painting at the core of the project, the Gallery’s Design team devised an exhibition that appeared deliberately unfinished or deconstructed, and which created discrete yet connected spaces for the artists’ suites of work. This design also reflected a theme of the exhibition — painting’s move away from concerns about cogency in depicted historical subject matter to deliberate, sought-after irresolution.

Near the end of the exhibition’s showing, with the help of generous supporters, we published a substantial, highly illustrated catalogue. The 224-page publication reproduces the more than 100 artworks in Necessary Distraction. Its first pages ­—­a series of beautiful, clean installation views — convey the exhibition experience and will continue to allow readers to make meanings from the artworks’ juxtapositions long after the show’s deinstallation. Texts by the curator and three writers who contributed to the exhibition’s development extend the interpretation and suggest possible future directions for the painting medium — and for painting exhibition making.

Wunderrūma: New Zealand Jewellery 18 July – 1 November 2015

The title of this exhibition combines the German word Wunder (wonder) with the Māori word rūma (room) and evokes an Aotearoa-themed treasure box. And that was exactly what visitors found when they entered Wunderrūma: New Zealand Jewellery, a touring exhibition from the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt. Curated by two of New Zealand’s leading contemporary jewellers, Warwick Freeman and Karl Fritsch, Wunderrūma presented work by the country’s most esteemed jewellery makers alongside carefully selected artworks from the Gallery’s collection, taonga Māori (Māori treasures) and Pacific and historical European jewellery.

The inclusion of paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs from the Gallery’s collection encouraged visitors to consider the creative synergies between art and jewellery making. By grouping the jewellery pieces and artworks in themed ‘clumps’ — a term the curators borrowed from biology which describes the action of a species clustering together for mutual benefit — attention was drawn to an evolving conversation about the nature of adornment, particularly the way certain materials influence creativity, providing both anchors to tradition and points of inventive departure.

Adorned Histories 30 January – 25 September 2016

Combining jewellery, a musical instrument and traditional Māori weapons created by contemporary maker Rangi Kipa with the lifelike portraits and genre paintings of Gottfried Lindauer, Adorned Histories illustrated the way Māori communicate cultural positions and show personal expression through body adornment practices.

Lindauer’s portraits of Māori leaders and revered rangatira (chiefs) offer a rich record of the status and importance of people in Māori society. The esteem of the sitters depicted by Lindauer is signalled by the objects they hold and their body adornment, with the striking tā moko (facial tattoos) worn by some sitters

and the kākahu (woven cloaks) draped around their shoulders being two examples. Armaments also denoted the prestige of people, as did jewellery. From handheld weapons such as the mere pounamu (greenstone club) and taiaha (long fighting staff) to huia feathers, heitiki (pendants) and mako (shark tooth) ear lashings, items carried and worn signal rank and communicate whakapapa (lineage). The beauty of objects such as these and the skill required in their making is clear from Lindauer’s paintings, and in Adorned Histories was emphasised by the presence of Kipa’s remarkable contemporary interpretations.

Hole of Yellow Archipelago / Limbo 5 September 2015 – 31 July 2016 / 2 December 2015 – 8 January 2017

The Gallery joined forces with contemporary New Zealand artist Judy Darragh, AUT University’s TurnSpace Collective and students from Balmoral Primary School to create the innovative, inventive and highly interactive Todd Creative Learning Centre installation Hole of Yellow Archipelago. Our Learning Programmes team and Darragh worked closely with a class of Year Four students in a series of creative workshops. Their drawings and models from the sessions were then interpreted by the TurnSpace Collective, and ideas were developed to create an imaginative parallel world in the Creative Learning Centre. Collaboration continued when Gallery visitors entered the space and themselves transformed the environment with creative play.

The immersive installation took its lead from Darragh’s vivid, multi-layered aesthetic, and shares her artwork’s alluring sense of fun and use of everyday materials with pop cultural references. Nine months after its September 2015 opening it had attracted 100,000 participants, clearly indicating the success of the ‘made for kids by kids’ design approach. The project was also a finalist in the Installation category of the 2016 Interior Awards.

Following the opening of Hole of Yellow Archipelago we installed a large commissioned work by Darragh in the North Atrium, adjacent to the Creative Learning Centre.

Limbo, consisting of a collection of massive bejewelled and brightly painted ‘space rocks’, brought Darragh’s signature ‘kitchen sci-fi’ into one of the Gallery’s most used spaces and created a vibrant extension of the fun taking place in the Creative Learning Centre.

Teststrip: Nostalgia for the Avant-garde (installation view)

14 August –10 December 2015 / 11 December 2015 –28 April 2016

Exhibitions created from the E H McCormick Research Library’s archives are staged to align with shows on display in the main gallery spaces and to allow visitors access to select archival material. John Weeks: Art in the Archive and Teststrip: Nostalgia for the Avant-garde are two recent examples.

The John Weeks Archive consists of paintings and drawings produced in various media, some fine and finished, others preparatory in nature. Items selected for Art in the Archive included personal articles, such as Weeks’ World War I identity tags, sketches based on the Golden Section and a pencil study towards the oil painting, Study for Composition, 1929 — one of a number of Weeks’ artworks on display in the concurrent exhibition Freedom and Structure: Cubism and New Zealand Art 1930 –1960.

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

Teststrip was a germinal artist-run space, open and active for five years from 1992. Founded by a group of Auckland artists ­— Judy Darragh being one — and located in Vulcan Lane then Karangahape Road, it staged exhibitions, held performances and produced a series of publications called the Teststrip Micrographs. The ephemera, collages, photographs and publications selected for display in Nostalgia for the Avant-garde, timed to coincide with Hole of Yellow Archipelago and Limbo, offered an intriguing snapshot of Teststrip’s activities and a glimpse into the milieu that influenced Darragh’s art.

The latest in the Gallery’s series of conservation exhibitions, Frances Hodgkins: Forgotten Still Life revealed the skilled work involved in the restoration of Still Life: Anemones and Hyacinths, circa 1925, and provided a detailed insight into the expatriate artist’s stilllife painting. Using oil and gouache Frances Hodgkins experimented with the still-life genre, incorporating architectural and natural features to create paintings that were progressively abstracted.

Loaned works complemented oil paintings and watercolours from the Gallery’s collection, and a vitrine containing selected items from the Auckland Art Gallery Conservation Research Centre Collection showed the unusual technique Hodgkins used when she painted Still Life: Anemones and Hyacinths.

An e-publication was produced which detailed the conservation treatment of the painting. The conservation work and research for this exhibition is part of a larger Frances Hodgkins research project being undertaken by the Gallery, which will culminate in an online catalogue raisonné, a publication and a large-scale exhibition.

The Story of Rama: Indian Miniatures from the National Museum, New Delhi

Guler style, Pahari The Great Battle between Rama and Ravana, circa 1780 opaque watercolour on paper National Museum, New Delhi, India

5 September 2015 – 17 January 2016 The intricate beauty and powerful storytelling capacity of Indian miniature painting was evident in fine detail in this touring exhibition from India’s National Museum.

One hundred and one artworks from the early 17th to mid-19th centuries revealed the rich diversity of regional painting styles and illustrated the Ramayana — one of the world’s great epics. Named after Rama, the story’s hero, the Ramayana dates from 5th to 4th centuries BC and is a tale of love, loyalty, betrayal and, ultimately, the victory of good over evil.

The Story of Rama filled the upper level of the Gallery’s historic wing and adjacent spaces. Aligning with the tale’s chapters and key narrative moments, the exhibition was divided into seven sections which, for visitors wanting the suspense of an unfolding narrative, were best experienced in sequence. Meticulous labels written by one of the Gallery’s curators following research into the regional

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

painting styles of India, and the Ramayana itself, helped unlock the action depicted and convey aspects of an art history rarely discussed in New Zealand. Throughout the day the gallery spaces were filled with people engaged in lengthy visits as they pored over the paintings and digested their descriptions to follow the hero Rama’s fate.

Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, was celebrated in Auckland while The Story of Rama was on display, and the Gallery opened its doors to festival goers through a programme of related events. In addition to fostering new associations with the Indian communities of Auckland, the exhibition has also helped the Gallery forge a connection with India’s National Museum. A contemporary Māori art exhibition is in development at the Gallery for exhibition at the National Museum, New Delhi, in August 2017.

Len Casbolt’s Photography: From Soft Focus to Sharp Vision 6 February – 21 August 2016 New Zealand photographer Len Casbolt was, by the 1950s, one of the country’s leading camera artists.

This exhibition, drawn from the Gallery’s extensive holdings of the artist’s work, showed the way Casbolt’s style changed following inspiration from overseas movements, seen particularly in the pictorialism which characterised his work in the 1930s, and the cooler, modernist quality of his 1950s compositions.

The almost 80 photographs on display in the exhibition not only provided an important account of the evolution of photographic practice and the professionalism of the craft in New Zealand, but previously unknown information about the images was uncovered during research for the exhibition and after it opened to the public. On the Gallery’s Facebook page the photograph Family Group, 1956 (opposite), was posted with a request for people to help identify the five sitters. After being shared 1575 times on the social media site, whānau (family) of the sitters contacted the Gallery. A story by current affairs programme Seven Sharp saw a Gallery curator travel to Rotorua to meet relatives of the people in Family Group and learn about the moving life stories behind the photograph.

Publications

Books are tireless agents of ideas. They circulate in the world — whether as traditional hardcopies which you hold and engage with, shelve and return to, or now, in the digital age, as e-publications that can be read on any screen anywhere. The Gallery’s publishing this year reflected our commitment to making sure that the research underpinning our exhibitions finds its way to people beyond the building’s walls. Producing two bilingual books in the world’s three most spoken languages was important in expanding our audiences and building regional networks.

The first of these, Yang Fudong: Filmscapes, is a Chinese–English co-publication produced with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). Published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same name, the beautifully illustrated book conveyed the beguiling richness of Yang Fudong’s immersive film and video practice while offering insights into the cultural and political subjects he masterfully addresses in his art.

Space to Dream: Recent Art from South America is the Gallery’s most ambitious bilingual book to date. Its six essays, by the exhibition’s co-curators, influential cultural critics and academics, were written in each contributor’s native language and then translated to produce Spanish and English versions of the texts. The book’s designers deftly used the project’s guiding idea of a Global South conversation — one which challenges the dominance of Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

the northern hemisphere in art discourse. The Spanish and English essays were presented in a design that removed any sense of hierarchy between the languages.

Because of the book’s substantial Spanish quotient, it was possible for the Gallery to sell the title in South America, Mexico and Spain, where it works as an ambassador for our ideas and programming initiatives.

The catalogue for Necessary Distraction: A Painting Show reproduced every work on display in the exhibition and captured the experience through a series of evocative installation images. Four different covers, each reproducing details of an artwork from the show, convey both the shared and singular qualities of the many paintings in Necessary Distraction. Along with Space to Dream, this catalogue was shortlisted for a Best Design Award.

Another e-publication was added to those permanently available via the Gallery’s website. Frances Hodgkins: Forgotten Still Life outlined the extensive conservation treatment of Still Life: Anemones and Hyacinths, a painting which prior to this work was unable to be exhibited.

The superbly produced co-publication Fiona Pardington: A Beautiful Hesitation showcased and celebrated the 30-year career of one of New Zealand’s pre-eminent photographers. This large-format, highly illustrated book is the most thorough investigation into Fiona Pardington’s oeuvre to date and proved to be a very popular souvenir of the exhibition it accompanied and extended.

Research & Learning

Items from the John B Turner Archive

E H McCormick Research Library

The Research Library is a vital, ever-growing resource for Gallery staff, academics and members of the public, and its unique holdings include over 30,000 books, 4000 artist files and close to 160 archives. Complementing the Library’s physical collections are its digital, website and publication projects, which extend information access to people outside the Gallery. This year the Library received almost 7000 visits and enquiries and just over 3700 items were added to its collection.

The Library team continued to progress ongoing projects this past year, including its e-files initiative which involves the creation of e-ephemera archives — fixing short-lived material for future consideration. Work done this year on the Gallery’s Frances Hodgkins Project, which will culminate in an online catalogue raisonné, a large-scale exhibition and a publication, included the digitisation of a collection of postcards from places Hodgkins visited and painted, and over 250 biographical photographs gifted by art historian Linda Gill.

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

One of the Library’s richest resources is its archives.

These crucial information assets preserve many otherwise ephemeral objects of historical significance and contain the kinds of primary material that researchers need in order to produce ground-breaking work. This year a substantial gift from John B Turner, an academic, practising photographer and founding member of PhotoForum, was accessioned into the archives.

The John B Turner Archive tells the story of one man’s working life and points to the cultural and societal changes that took place over that time. It includes over 1200 files he created about New Zealand and international photographers and photography, correspondence with artists, vintage prints, information relating to PhotoForum, and ephemera connected with his activism, including copies of letters he sent during the campaign to make New Zealand nuclear-free. For researchers interested in understanding and contextualising the history of New Zealand photography during a period of technological advancement and worldwide cultural change, the John B Turner Archive offers an encyclopaedia of possibilities.

Conservation Research Centre

The Gallery’s Conservation team is responsible for the care of our artworks — just over 16,000 paintings, works on paper, sculptures, installations, digital artworks and more. The team consists of specialists who focus on specific media, performing conservation work and carrying out research which supports exhibition making.

Highlights of this past year’s endeavours are two painting conservation projects, both carried out on works of considerable size.

Research by a Gallery curator revealed the true artist of a painting in our collection — the important 19th-century English painter Frederic Leighton. Leighton is renowned for the decorative and symbolically informative nature of his artwork. He studied in Florence and Frankfurt, and in the latter place was taught by Nazarene painter Edward von Steinle, whose emphasis on the translucency of the painted image influenced Leighton’s style. It was to regain this translucency that the conservation of A Dream, 1859–60 was undertaken. The conservators removed the discoloured varnish coating the painting and replaced losses — small patches on the canvas where paint is missing. After the work was complete more detail in the painting was visible, allowing further curatorial research to be undertaken. The findings of this and the

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Art & Ideas 2016

story of the painting’s identification and provenance was published in the highly prestigious art history journal The Burlington Magazine in January 2016. Additional research was conducted into the artwork’s original frame and a beautiful replica was created for the painting by Manawatu Museum Services.

The second significant conservation project, for which AUT University provided financial support, was carried out on a painting almost two meters in height and close to four metres long. The Victorian painter William Calderon’s arresting On the Sea-Beat Shore, Where Hardy Thracians Tame the Savage Horse, 1905 had suffered losses and cracking to its surface, probably due to being rolled up and stored at some stage during its life and travels. These were attended to, the surface was cleaned and the massive canvas was re-stretched. Three blogs on the Gallery’s website describe the work required and illustrate the painting’s remarkable transformation.

Outreach, Schools & Visitor Programmes

Our Outreach Programmes create new and strengthen existing connections and dialogues between communities and the Gallery. We focus on underrepresented groups and collaborate with community networks, particularly those with whom we share the goal of creating meaningful engagements with art. Established in 2013, the Outreach Programme has now diversified to include professional internships, art making, artist talks and other events, both in the Gallery and offsite. The Internship Programme is an especially important component of our outreach.

Participants in the Gallery’s pilot programme with the Blind Foundation

institution located between Auckland’s CBD and the outer suburbs. The programme has resulted in first-time visitors enjoying bespoke tours in the Gallery by interns, and seen interns going out into the community and delivering programmes — taking art and ideas out of the Gallery and into Auckland’s diverse communities.

Launched in 2015, the Internship Programme began as a partnership between the Gallery and Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT). It consists of placements for MIT students undertaking professional and community practice modules in their degrees. Because of MIT’s location in Manukau, the heart of the largest Polynesian population in New Zealand, and the fact that it has a high level of attendance by Pasifika and Māori students, the partnership perfectly aligns with Outreach’s ambition to develop engagement with Pacific and Māori visitors.

Another innovative endeavour, the Visual Text Partnership Project, was created by our Schools team in collaboration with The University of Auckland and Tangaroa College. The project employs community resources — in our case the Gallery’s exhibitions and teaching team — to open students’ minds to new ways of thinking about creativity. The importance of this project lies in its focus on equipping students for a life of creative participation in our unpredictable and rapidly changing world, where originality and the ability to develop new perspectives is vital to real engagement and success. Using art to unlock creativity and encourage lateral thinking, this teaching approach delights students at the same time as educating them.

Selected students travel into the Gallery every week to learn about the work carried out by our different departments. The Gallery’s Outreach team programmer helps the interns to create projects that focus on particular groups within their local communities and which utilise each intern’s skills to meet the needs of the chosen group.

This internship model has been successfully replicated with Unitec Institute of Technology, another tertiary

Every year thousands of people are welcomed into the Gallery by the Schools and Visitor Programmes teams, and this year was no different. A packed and lively programme of structured teaching and public events saw the Gallery filled with people of all ages attending floor talks, participating in studio art-making activities and school visits, enjoying seminars, film screenings and live performances.

An article about the Gallery’s call-out for lost Lindauer paintings, published in The New Zealand Herald

An important thread in our work is engaging with communities outside the Gallery, and the Marketing team plays an important role in that. As part of their day-to-day work they advertise our exhibitions and public programmes, garner publicity and critical responses to our shows, and manage what is among the Gallery’s most potent marketing tools — the website.

Following an extensive design and content development process, the Marketing team launched our new website in December 2015. Its enhanced features include mobile responsiveness — the site now adapts display depending on the device being used to view it; a collection search option that allows you to explore information from our extensive archives; the option to share pages to social media sites; and embedded videos. These features, combined with the new fresh and open feel of the design, have transformed the website into a space that provides meaningful interactions with the Gallery from anywhere in the world.

This was applied across print materials, signage, products, online communications and more, and helps to ensure that these supporting groups are recognisably related to the Gallery.

In addition to the television and social media publicity gained for the Len Casbolt exhibition, a story about work being done in preparation for the Gallery’s summer 2016/17 Gottfried Lindauer exhibition was published on the Guardian newspaper’s website, featured on television news, in regional press across the country and on National Radio. The story, a call-out for ‘lost Lindauer paintings’, resulted in 46 Lindauer paintings being brought to the attention of the Gallery, six of which will be featured in the exhibition.

The creation of graphic identities for the Gallery’s exhibitions and the design of publicity materials is also carried out by our Marketing team. This year, with the establishment of the Advancement division, the team extended the Gallery’s brand by developing a cohesive visual style for the ‘family’ of Contemporary Benefactors, Foundation, Members and Patrons.

Advancement & Partners

The Advancement team was established in August 2015 to develop an agile and strategic approach to revenue generation and fundraising for the Gallery. The team’s endeavours focus on the Gallery’s Foundation, Membership and Sponsorship, but they also work with other supporter groups to achieve the shared goal of realising the Gallery’s important cultural mandate.

This first year has seen outstanding results. We have created new brand identities for our supporter groups, inaugurated a Membership programme that provides novel ways for art-interested people to engage with the Gallery’s programmes, and launched the newly purposed Foundation — the philanthropic platform charged with building an endowment and supporting the Gallery.

AUCKLAND ART GALLERY FOUNDATION The Foundation is passionate about the value of art and the power of creative thinking, and is committed to building a legacy for future generations by supporting the Gallery’s work. Providing philanthropic support helps to ensure that the Gallery remains the leading visual art museum in New Zealand and benefits Aucklanders, other New Zealanders and our many international visitors.

Donations to the Foundation made the Gallery’s building redevelopment possible. That project was completed in 2011 when the expanded Gallery reopened. The focus now has shifted to providing support in a range of areas including exhibitions, acquisitions, publications, research, conservation, learning and outreach programmes.

PATRONS OF THE GALLERY Under the leadership of Dayle, Lady Mace, the group’s chairperson, the Patrons of the Gallery continue to work with the Gallery’s curatorial team and support our contemporary New Zealand art collection and programmes. Established in 1987, to date the Patrons have contributed in excess of $1,000,000 to acquisitions. Their assistance in the crucial area of collection development helps us to present high-calibre exhibitions.

CONTEMPORARY BENEFACTORS

MEMBERSHIP

SPONSORSHIP

The Contemporary Benefactors group was established in 2013 as a new tier of philanthropic support for contemporary New Zealand and international art at the Gallery. The Benefactors’ programme consists of a wide variety of exhibition and behind-the-scenes talks, studio visits and collection tours both in New Zealand and abroad. In conjunction with curatorial staff, an energetic committee chaired by Charlotte Swasbrook manages the Contemporary Benefactors. Highlights of the past year’s programme include a private evening discussion with artist Lisa Reihana in the exhibition in Pursuit of Venus [infected], a cocktail evening launch of John Ward Knox’s sculpture commission and a special preview of the large-scale summer exhibition Necessary Distraction: A Painting Show.

In May 2016 we launched our new membership programme with an inaugural Members Preview Day which coincided with the opening of Space to Dream: Recent Art from South America. By the end of June we had signed up just over 1000 new Members.

Since launching, close to 500 Members have enjoyed bespoke events, highlights of which include a talk and book signing by Fiona Pardington, panel discussion of Walters Prize finalists Joyce Campbell, Nathan Pohio, Lisa Reihana, and Shannon Te Ao with Natasha Conland, Curator, Contemporary Art and an introduction to Space to Dream by co-curators Beatriz Bustos Oyanedel and Dr Zara Stanhope.

Partnering with corporate entities, tertiary institutions, private benefactors, donors and sponsors provides the Gallery with streams of tiered support. Identifying and building on synergies between the Gallery and its sponsors reinforces our role as a cultural leader by opening new avenues through which we can share art and ideas.
