Chaptered sets up a dialogue between a group of major works drawn together from the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and loan collections. Large-scale, multi-panelled, or serial in nature, each artist offers up fragments of narrative, chapters, or snatches of information that shape their work in different ways. Featuring works by Ralph Hotere, Madame and the Bastard, Jeffrey Harris and Fiona Connor, Chaptered creates space to consider the cryptic yet compelling conversation that unfolds between these four practices.
