Opening Thursday 9 December, 6pm.

Place names conjure up all sorts of responses. They can be evocative, emotional, descriptive, historical and territorial - all in a word, or two. These small nouns often carry considerable significance - be it pride, grievance or even animosity. They are resonating markers that identify our land and our culture. Where Are We? the exhibition, seeks to explore some of the rich stories behind the names we have given to our towns, cities, rivers and mountains of New Zealand and celebrates the launch of the new revised edition of the A.W. Reed's Place Names of New Zealand published by Penguin.

The exhibition will focus on how key artists have interpreted and presented places of significance to them. While many of these works are from public collections, new work will be featured as well.
