Artist Talk with George Nuku & Presentation of the exhibition catalogue

Artist George Nuku talks to Nicholas Thomas, Professor of Historical Anthropology and Director of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, about his oeuvre, working methods, and influences.

In addition, the exhibition catalogue, edited by Reinhard Blumauer, Jonathan Fine, and George Nuku, will be presented for the first time. The catalogue, which features an essay by Nicholas Thomas, is now available at our museum’s shops and online via shop.khm.at!

Nicholas Jeremy Thomas is the author and editor of nearly fifty influential books and exhibition catalogues, which have ranged widely over art in Oceania, European travel, colonial histories, museology, and the history of collections. Nicholas Thomas has also written extensively about contemporary art, museums, and related issues for the Financial Times, The Art Newspaper, Apollo, Artlink, and Art Asia Pacific among other magazines and journals.

Oceania, which he co-curated with Peter Brunt for the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac in Paris in 2018/19 was acclaimed as landmark exhibition by critics across major newspapers in the UK, France, Germany, and the United States, as well as in Pacific nations themselves.
