International award-winning MOTAT exhibition Te Puawananga
arts te ao Māori about 1 hour ago MOTAT's Te Puawananga Exhibtion was recently named International Exhibition of the Year at the Museum and Heritage Awards in London. As it turned one, it beat the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and Seattle's Museum of Pop. Te Puawananga hopes to reconnect young people with science through a cultural lens and tackle the declining interest in science and technology by recognising and integrating Matauranga Maori and Western Science. With tactile and hands-on activities it hopes to make science relevant and inclusive while engaging children with STEM topics. The exhibit was designed in partnership with Maori educators and artists. The judges of the awards described it as a "vibrant, culturally connected space that seamlessly blends science and Maori culture." Auckland-based multi-disciplinary artist, curator, sculptor and strong cultural and Iwi advocate, Pita Turei, was heavily involved in the development of the exhibtion. He speaks to Culture 101

Decorative Art Design History through Second Hand Shopping
history arts 32 minutes ago As avid opshoppers will know, second hand and antique stores still turn up treasures. Objects from past eras, fallen foul of fashion but that will inevitably return to the cool shelf. Of such shoppers Poneke Wellington's Walter Cook is a collector legend. Cook's first purchase was as a 24-year-old student in 1965. It was an art nouveau tea set from the Willis street shop Odds and Ends. Cook didn't just have a rare passion for old things, as an obsessive collector and reader he had the rare ability to think beyond trends and smartly create a rich private collection, at a bargain. A collection that tells the history of decorative art, from the Arts and Crafts Movement from the 1860s on, through Art Deco, to 1970s modernism. And then, just as the market caught up with Walter in the late 1980s, Cook had the public largesse to gift his collection to the nation. Justine Olsen is curator of decorative art and design at Te Papa. The title of her recently released book Towards Modernism: The Walter Cook Collection at Te Papa, is deceptive. Deceitive because this smartly designed book iss about far more than just about Walter Cook and the collection. It provides an accessible history of modern decorative art as it relates to Aotearoa as a trading nation. It also highlights notable designers through beautiful objects, and chronicles many great retailers and passionate antique dealers along the way. She spoke to Culture 101's Mark Amery.
