Gallerist Paul McNamara is staging an exhibition of postcards too, by Wellington photographer Murray Lloyd. The exhibition examines Maori Land Rights by making reference to historical postcards of exotic "Maoriland" destinations from the late 19th/early 20th century. (Thanks H)
Lloyd's referencing is particularly interesting for the way in which it exposes the research role of the artist.
The project is also interesting to me for the way that it telescopes time, eliding historical and contemporary scenarios together.
