Superpartner is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland based artist Peter Robinsion (Ngāi Tahu/Kāi Tahu). The exhibition will be on view at the gallery from September 20, until October 26.

Peter Robinson Ngāi Tahu/Kāi Tahu (b. 1966, Hakatere Ashburton) is one of New Zealand’s most significant artists. Based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Robinson’s work explores formalist, conceptual, and relational art to examine identity and the inhabitation of space, reflecting on the ongoing effects of colonisation and the struggle for cultural identity. Through a wide array of materials and methods, Robinson’s art delves into the intersections of personal and collective memory, confronting the legacies of historical narratives and cultural displacement. His installations often provoke a dialogue between tradition and modernity, challenging viewers to reconsider the constructs of heritage and belonging.

Key exhibitions include, “Giorgio Griffa, Peter Robinson - Differences in kind and rhythm” (2025), Te Uru, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, "Toi Tū Toi Ora: Contemporary Māori Art" (2020), Auckland Art Gallery Toi O Tāmaki, the 16th Jakarta Biennale (2021), the 11th & 18th Biennale (1998/2012), the 13th Istanbul Biennale (2013), the 5th Auckland Triennial (2013) and representing New Zealand at the 49th Venice Biennale (2001). Peter’s Works are held in multiple public collections including Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, Musée d'Art Contemporain de Lyon, Fonds régional d'art contemporain (FRAC) d'Alsace, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Denver Art Museum.
