Contemporary art in New Zealand is rich, complex and fascinating. This lecture examines key themes in current art from our nearest English-speaking neighbour, from the brilliance of contemporary Māori expressions to the deep-seated love of landscape shared by Māori and Pakeha New Zealanders. Starting with the exceptional works of Colin McCahon (1919-1987) the lecture considers the remarkable work of contemporary artists, including Bill Culbert, Warwick Freeman, Anne Noble, Fiona Pardington, Michael Parekowhai, Lisa Reihana and Robin White.Over four decades Julie has contributed to Australian cultural life as a writer, curator and broadcaster, as well as through arts organisations including the Australia Council’s Visual Arts Board, the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane and the Experimental Art Foundation Adelaide. Julie is currently the Chair of the Board of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney and a member of the Board of the Samstag Museum of Art. In 2014 she received the Australia Council’s Visual Arts Award.
