Te Papa is proud to present the work of Judy Millar and Francis Upritchard, the two artists chosen by Creative New Zealand to officially represent New Zealand at the prestigious Venice Biennale in 2009. Judy Millar's Giraffe-Bottle-Gun features enlarged paintings stretched on shaped canvases that fill the space, playing with scale and illusion. Francis Upritchard's Save Yourself is an installation of figures, placed on tabletops, that form surreal groupings of dancers, dreamers, and searchers lost in their own reveries.
