George Tamihana Nuku (*1964) is one of New Zealand’s leading contemporary artists. He works with plastic and plexiglass, transforming these materials into vibrant artworks of high aesthetic value. His work challenges viewers to confront another dimension of these problematic materials and offers new perspectives on the exhibits in the Oceania galleries.

These artistic interventions were created on-site as part of the fellowship program of the Ethnologisches Museums and Museum für Asiatische Kunst. This program allows fellows to engage deeply with exhibition pieces and collection objects from their creator communities.

Dr. Dorothea Deterts, curator of the Oceania exhibitions, offers insights into the creation process and the significance of the artworks specifically designed for the galleries of the Ethnologisches Museum.
