ARTIST PROFILE Issue 72

Auckland-based, internationally renowned artist, Lisa Reihana is this issue’s cover artist. In her essay, Mikala 

Tai observes how over almost four decades of thoughtful continuity Reihana has developed a deeply layered exploration of Indigenous belief systems and knowledge by expanding upon the themes of identity, representation and colonial history. In this issue readers will enjoy a thought-provoking issue piece by Aleks Wansbrough, and profiles on Monica Rani Rudhar, Tamara Henderson, Ana Pollak, James Geurts, Mason Kimber, Katy B. Plummer and Lesley Dumbrell. Our Insight section includes a special preview of Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, which this year adds Photo Sydney to its other sectors: Galleries, Future and Works on Paper. There is a poignant tribute by George Gittoes to the late Bruce Goold, as well as plenty of essays and reviews and previews on artists exhibition across the country and internationally.
