NEW ZEALAND PAVILION
IN THE ARTIGLIERIE, A CENTRAL LOCATION IN THE ARSENALE
YUKI KIHARA – ARTIST
A native of Sāmoa, Yuki Kihara is an interdisciplinary artist of Japanese and Sāmoan descent.
Kihara’s work seeks to challenge dominant and singular historical narratives through visual arts, dance, and curatorial practice, engaging with postcolonial history and representation in the Pacific and how they intersect with race, gender, spirituality and sexual politics. She lives and works in Sāmoa, where she has been based over the last 10 years.
Kihara is the first Pacific artist to be presented in the New Zealand pavilion at the biennale. Yuki has built a reputation for work that is critical, dynamic and engaging. Her appointment marks the urgency for Pacific Indigenous perspectives in global dialogues, highlights New Zealand’s historical and ongoing social, political and cultural engagement with the Pacific, and continues to build New Zealand’s reputation of being an innovative country with a diverse range of arts practice.

Overview
Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu.
Adorn the bird with feathers so it may soar.
The Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa (Creative New Zealand) is looking for a suitable Delivery Partner to develop and deliver New Zealand’s presence at La Biennale di Venezia, in the years 2026, 2028 and 2030.
The objective of NZ@Venice is to bring New Zealand contemporary art to the attention of the world through an official presence at the world’s pre-eminent contemporary art exhibition the Venice Biennale.
The aim of the programme is to provide greater national and international profile and future opportunities for the participating artists and offers professional development opportunities for the creative team members including the technical, design and artistic contributors to the project.
Objectives
• The international profile of New Zealand is raised
• New Zealand becomes an important ‘must see’ at Venice
• New Zealand arts gain international success
• New Zealand at Venice gains a national following
• Partnerships – strong ongoing partnerships are established.
Delivery Partner
The successful supplier will undertake all aspects of the exhibition delivery of the official presence at the Venice Biennale for the years 2026, 2028 and 2030. This includes venue selection/management, project delivery, budget management, partner management, and communications/public relations (domestic and international). The successful candidate will have the specialist skills and expertise necessary to support the development of a new visual artwork and its exhibition at Venice; strong relationships in the visual arts sector (including patrons and supporters); and demonstrate a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
In the week commencing 2 October 2023 we plan to release a call for Registrations of Interest (ROI) from parties that are interested in developing and delivering New Zealand’s presence at Venice in 2026, 2028 and 2030 under a contract with Creative New Zealand. The ROI will close 20 October at 5pm.
We will then determine a short-list of the parties and invite them to submit a detailed proposal to develop, deliver and report on New Zealand’s presence at Venice. We will evaluate each proposal and select the party that submits the best and most comprehensive proposal within the indicative budget available.
