Gallery artist Brett Graham has been announced as one of the four finalists for the 2024 Walters Prize, one of New Zealand's most prestigious art awards.
"The nominees were selected based on presentations from 2020 to 2022, a period the jury described as 'a time of unsettled exhibition opportunities, disrupted by Covid lockdowns and restrictions on travel. Despite this, the artists presented extraordinary works that address the cultural, social, and political conditions of our time, and ask us to pay careful attention to the way histories are made, told, and maintained."
Brett is nominated for his exhibition Tai Moana Tai Tangata which was shown at Govett-Brewster Art Gallery (2020-2021), City Gallery Wellington (2021) and Christchurch Art Gallery (2022).
