The first exhibition of its kind in London, ethKnowcentrix Museums Inside the
Artist features mixed media and performance work exploring the idea of the
ethnographic gaze, by four leading artists from Aotearoa (New Zealand) and the Pacific Islands.
Visions of exotic beauty and mystery have dominated British perceptions of the Pacific Islands since the time of Captain Cook. Fuelled by the fantastic narratives of returning explorers, anthropologists and artists, this exotic imagery provided the basis for museum displays and underpinned the emerging discipline of ethnography (the classification of people and cultures). Yet, while the Europeans were busy imagining ‘Noble Savages’ and ‘Dusky Maidens’, the Pacific Islanders were looking back at them, negotiating, exchanging and sharing goods and ideas on their own terms.
This exhibition reconsiders the spaces of meeting, looking and representing across cultures, and explores how the ethnographic gaze has been reciprocated and challenged. With acerbic wit, these works promise to radically subvert the European legacy of museum classification, reclaim popular imagery of Pacific Island culture, and offer fresh perspectives for a shared global future.
