Fiona Pardington announced as Aotearoa New Zealand’s La Biennale di Venezia 2026 representative.
Pardington was selected by the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, who were named as The Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa’s Biennale delivery partner.
Pardington says being asked to exhibit in Aotearoa New Zealand’s National Pavillion is an unexpected and extraordinary moment in her career.
“I am deeply honoured and humbled by this incredible opportunity to represent Aotearoa at the Venice Biennale. I am profoundly grateful that my work is appreciated like this and for all the people furiously paddling the waka who have brought me to this point. Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini,” she says.
Further details about the project to be announced soon.

Seung Yul Oh Artist Talk, Starkwhite Queenstown, 6 Jul 2024
Please join us as artist Seung Yul Oh talks about his new direction in painting within the exhibition Beyond Forward at Starkwhite Queenstown.Beyond Forward examines concepts of depth, perspective, and translucency in paint. Some works are otherworldly with uncertain perspective and compositional depth. Others offer a more dense surface with bold, undisguised brushstrokes and high-keyed, vibrant colour palette. Join Seung as he talks about painting and unpacks the Western and Korean influences on his work.
