Lorene Taurerewa exhibits in The Intraspace Project at The Waikato Museum, New Zealand

The Intraspace Project is the Waikato Museum's latest initiative in interrogating the building as installlation site. Activating non-gallery space as sites where artists' interventions can occur.
Utilising utilitarian locations within and external to the museum building, the curator will solicit artists to interface with the designated spaces and respond accordingly. These interactions will culminate in anything from one to seven works in new spaces that could last one minute to one month.
All of the works will be made visible to the world, creating a virtual but real time exhibition that is not bound by fiscal, spatial nor bureaucratic intervention. It's the simple USE of space that will activate the art.
This is the first of its kind in Museums in Aotearoa and possibly internationally.

Lorene Taurerewa (b.NZ currently resides in New York )
The work of Lorene Taurerewa could be equated to early David Bowie in terms of timbre; a rich blend of unsettling familiarity and beauty.'
Using scale and negative space, she is able to speak volumes about displacement and perhaps a sense of isolation.
This work is a particularly powerful image along with it's title 'The Stong Shall Lead the Weak'. A dog acts as master leading this dunce-like character on a leash. Opening up the subject of power, control, and questions of survival through interdependence.
Lorene Taurerewa (nee. Clotworthy) is New Zealand-born, of New Zealand and Samoan descent. She has exhibited widely nationally and internationally. Taurerewa emigrated to New York in 2009 where she is represented in numerous collections nationally and internationally.
