Exhibition Opening and Book Launch: Shane Cotton

Join us for the opening night of Shane Cotton's new exhibition at Gow Langsford Auckland City from 5-7pm.

The event will also the launch of the new monograph, Shane Cotton: Moerewa | Liquid Sleep by leading art writer Anthony Byrt. The book takes us on a voyage into Te Tai Tokerau to unravel the relationships, landscapes and histories that are the wellspring of Cotton's art - the world of Kororāreka and Hongi Hika, of mission stations, revolutionary religious ideas and Te Tiriti. By travelling deep into Cotton's visual universe, Byrt helps us make sense of the paintings and the world-changing collisions that occurred in the nineteenth-century North - collisions that still shape Aotearoa today.
