Reuben Paterson: The Only Dream Left

This really is a beautiful publication.   It was published by City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi to accompany the exhibition Reuben Paterson: The Only Dream Left (2023).

It captures the magic of artist Reuben Paterson's work over the last 30 years. 
The book features essays by Witi Ihimaera, curator and writer Geraldine Kirrihi Barlow, and the exhibition's curators Aaron Lister and (our very own) Karl Chitham.

Paterson’s work revolves around the relationships we have with our bodies, desires and cultures—and those we share or negotiate with others. Made in celebration of exchange and encounter, hybridity and fluidity, spirituality and sexuality, his work is especially attuned to the dynamics of queer identity and whakapapa-based modes of cultural knowledge.
