Blue tarp, paper, stainless steel 147 x 340 x 198 cm, Matt Johnson’s sculptures delightfully explore the paradox of visual forms through unorthodox and surprising materials.

Hallet, Davis and Company - Boston, 1876 - Ebonized cherry, spruce, ash, bird's eye maple, ivory, ebony, and various metals
Created for the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia, this piano was intended to impress the critics. One described it as “the most elaborately constructed instrument of its kind in the exhibition.” Pianos such as this were valued more as expressions of wealth and symbols of sophisticated artistic taste than for their tonal quality.

Chapman’s Homer - Art that asks the right-royal questions
Parekowhai’s installation consists of two enormous bronze bulls atop equally monumental bronze pianos and an exquisitely carved grand piano that will be played for the duration of the exhibition.
This show-stopper is the latest iteration in Parekowhai’s career project to reveal both the faultlines and moments of post-colonial serendipity that coagulate in New Zealand.
