The Asian is the first major solo exhibition by Heather Straka in a New Zealand public art gallery. For this project Straka has commissioned a selection of artisans from Shenzhen, China to produce fifty nine high-end copies of one of her original Asian Girl paintings. This intriguing installation examines ideas about the authentic and fake, truth and lie, the original and the copy.
