Sketches : Breaking barriers : Auckland Art Fair Projects

Abstract

Article discusses the 2018 Auckland Art Fair, highlighting the 'Projects 2018' programme curated by Gabriela Salgado and Francis McWhannell, to include "a panoply of artworks by emerging and more established artists of Māori, Pākeha, Pacific and Asian heritage". Includes a discussion of the 18 participating artists and their respective works. Mentions the absence of a central theme and interesting points of commonality that emerge. Considers central objectives of the 2018 Auckland Art Fair "to develop connections between artists, dealers, and members of the general public" as well as "its commitment to the plurality at the heart of art-making in the Pacific."
