Heather Straka: The Asian
Starting Date: Saturday, 20 March 2010
Finishing Date: Sunday, 20 June 2010
The Asian is the first major solo exhibition by Heather Straka in a New Zealand public gallery. For this project Straka has commissioned a selection of artisans from Shenzhen, China to produce fifty high-end copies of one of her original ‘Asian Girl’ paintings. This promises to be an intriguing installation where ideas about the authentic and fake, truth and lie, original and copy are brought into question.
