Reuben Paterson's glittering, painted on canvas installation comes direct from the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) in Brisbane, Australia. Tauranga art Gallery is the first venue in New Zealand to have this work.

The APT includes work of more than 100 artists from 25 countries including collaborations and collectives, which reflect the diversity of practices across Asia, the Pacific and Australia.

The installation also includes a DVD entitled Te Putahitanga o Rehua based on whakapapa, ancestry and roots.

Reuben Paterson's family comes from Matata. He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions extensively throughout New Zealand and internationally, and was awarded the Moet et Chandon Arts Fellowship to France in 1997, the youngest Maori recipient of New Zealand's only fine art award at this time.
