Uku Rere | Nga Kaihanga Uku & Beyond
Uku Rere: Nga Kaihanga Uku, the first major survey of the contemporary Maori ceramics movement in Aotearoa, came to an end, with the final exhibition at Tauranga Art Gallery which closed on 2 August.
The exhibition featured a selection of hand-built ceramic art works by five Maori clay artists: Baye Riddell, Manos Nathan, Colleen Urlich, Wi Taepa and Paerau Corneal. They are founding and senior members of Nga Kaihanga Uku, the national Maori clayworkers' association.
We have enjoyed watching the exhibition tour around New Zealand, captivating audiences as it went.
The exhibition was developed and toured by Pataka Art+Museum in collaboration with Toi Maori Aotearoa and with the generous support of Creative New Zealand.
