Steve Carr in 'A Horse Walks Into A Bar: Humour and Portraiture in Aotearoa'

Steve Carr is included in the group exhibition A Horse Walks Into A Bar: Humour and Portraiture in Aotearoa at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery on view from 11 December 2025 - 1 March 2026. 

Curated by Matthew Whiteman, Liz Stringer Curatorial Intern 2025, this exhibition spans over fifty years of portraiture and traces how painters, photographers, and video artists have employed comedy to disrupt convention, question authority, and address social and political concerns. Through wit, satire, and surprise, humour emerges as a powerful lens for rethinking key moments in our shared history.
