Contemporary New Zealand Art for Young People
Welcome to the South Seas. Contemporary New Zealand Art for Young People by Gregory O'Brien. 'Welcome to the South Seas is a high-spirited introduction to contemporary New Zealand art.
It features some of the liveliest creations of the past 30 years: from Bill Culbert's Tupperware extravaganza, Spacific Plastic, to Michael Parekowhai's Patriot: Ten Guitars. There are artworks that float in midair and others that creep across the floor. There are surfboards and the hull of a burnt-out boat; there are yapping dogs, bird-headed men and a deer-headed bird. With its bold colours and even bolder ideas, this book is an introduction to the imaginative life of a country where anything can, and indeed does.
