Phillips discuss his recently completed PhD research that involved investigating a 50 year history (1970-2020) of exhibition-making in Aotearoa and how the findings have influenced the upcoming exhibition Who can think, what can think (opening at Te Tuhi on Saturday 18 February) and the editorial direction of a forthcoming publication charting a history of contemporary art exhibitions at Te Tuhi.
