Te Moemoea no Iotefa was the first exhibition held in a civic art gallery in New Zealand focused on contemporary Pacific art. ==About the exhibition== The exhibition was curated by art historian Rangihiroa Panaho for the Sarjeant Art Gallery in Wanganui in 1990. The exhibition's full title was ''Te Moemoea no Iotefa, The Dream of Joseph: A Celebration of Pacific Art and Taonga''; the title was derived from one of the tivaevae works included in the show.〔 The exhibition filled all the spaces of the Sarjeant Gallery. Panaho wrote in the introduction to the exhibition catalogue that he was aiming to explore the South Pacific as 'Aotearoa's most immediate historical, geographical and cultural context', and seeking to 'examine and explore the visual side of this context and the ways in which artists in this country are exploring it'.〔 The exhibition brought together four strands of art making: 1. The wealth of material culture from the Pacific Islands found in museums, libraries, private collections - taonga such as historical writing, photographs, tapa, tivaevae, weaving and carving. The exhibition 'wove together the various aspects of Pacific culture as it persists in Aotearoa'. Art historian Nicholas Thomas writes 'Museum artifacts were placed with contemporary art, folk crafts with paintings, archive photographs with contemporary images, and Pacific artists among white appropriators of culture'. The exhibition catalogue contains interviews with 10 contemporary artists included in the show: *Iosefa Leo *Fatu Feu'u *Jim Vivieaere *Lily Laita *John Pule *Michel Tuffery *Johnny Peninsula *Ioane Ioane *Sale Jessop *Filipe Tohi 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Te Moemoea no Iotefa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
