One of the most interesting cultural phenomena in New Zealand over the past 20 years has been the spectacular success of the World of WearableArt, an annual competition and award show that explores the intersection between fashion and art, through a genre popularly known as wearable art. This unique event, which draws an audience in Wellington of around 35,000 people, has encouraged an explosion of creative activity, inspiring a wide range of fashion designers, artists, costume makers and other craft artists from all over the world to participate. The range of garments produced for this event is breathtaking, as the rules of competition mean that anything of quality that is in any way wearable can find a place on the catwalk. What this also means is that the garments are constructed from an extraordinary array of materials - car parts, wood shavings, zips, silk, potato chip packets, seaweed, slices of toast, old telephone posts, paper ...

Graham captures the essence of over ninety of the most intriguing and compelling artistic personalities of the last decade.
Reg Graham's splendid black and white portraits give us a fascinating and intimate glimpse into the characters of luminary painters, writers, actors, musicians and dancers. His gallery includes a Renaissance-like photograph of artist Ralph Hotere, the striking image of sculptor Bing Dawe, Margaret Mahy kicking up her heels, Jane Westaway looking like a 60s fashion model...
Each portrait is accompanied by a short bio of the subject and Graham's description of the photo shoot: collecting walnuts with writer Janet Frame, catching Hone Tuwhare at the Burns Fellows reunion in 1998, waiting backstage with Rima te Waiata...

Janice Gill’s first solo exhibition (Auckland, 1974) sold out in a week. Since then she has developed a unusual niche for herself as a documentary painter, telling graphic stories of old — and contemporary — New Zealand.
Janice’s work is represented in public and private collections. It often focuses on people on the margins of society. She has been a Labour Party activist for three decades and now lives and paints in Nelson.
This full-colour book displays 152 of Janice's works, with notes on each by the artist, and has an introduction by Brian Easton.

Laurence Aberhart has been at the forefront of New Zealand photography since the late 1970s, and is recognised as a major international figure. Like the paintings of Colin McCahon — an artist with whom Aberhart is frequently paired — his photographs are a sustained meditation on time, place and cultural history. They are also virtuoso pieces of photographic craft.
This book is a landmark in New Zealand art publishing. In a definitive overview of Laurence Aberhart’s work to date, 240 full-page reproductions of iconic photographs of churches, marae, cemeteries, Masonic Lodges and other subjects are accompanied by illuminating essays by leading New Zealand art writers Gregory O'Brien and Justin Paton. O’Brien pursues the motif of the horizon through Aberhart’s work, considering the many journeys that his career encompasses and the shelters and structures seen along the way, while Paton focuses on the human presences that quietly ...
