In May 2006, fifteen artists from New Zealand took over the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge (UK) as part of Pasifika Styles, a groundbreakin...g experiment in the display of contemporary Pacific art. By installing their works next to taonga or treasures collected on the voyages of Cook and Vancouver, the artists unique exhibit brought more of the museum's unparalleled 18th-century, Oceanic collections to light, heralding a new era of collaborative curatorship in ethnographic museums. Over the next two years, visiting artists continued to bring a vitality to the collections, offering workshops, seminars, public activities, and a festival of performing arts. This book describes the making of Pasifika Styles from the perspectives of artists, museum professionals, and scholars involved in this pioneering project placing it in the context of current debates about museums, cultural property, and art.Detailed info »« Brief info
