in Pursuit of Venus [infected]
Earmuffs available to borrow. These come in adult and child’s sizes available for free from Te Papa's Coat and Bag service, to use while in the museum. These are designed to muffle noise – not to cancel it out entirely.
When: Friday 15 October 2021-Sunday 27 March 2022
Where: Toi Art, Te Papa
Tickets: Free
in Pursuit of Venus [infected] is Lisa Reihana’s retort to the French scenic wallpaper, Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique produced by Joseph Dufour in 1804. Dufour’s original wallpaper reflected a widespread fascination with the Pacific voyages undertaken by Captain Cook, de Bougainville and de la Perouse. 200 years later in Aotearoa, Reihana employs 21st century digital technologies to bring the scenic wallpaper to life and challenge its Eurocentric narrative.
