Peter Robinson and Sara Hughes at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand

Peter Robinson’s sculpture Universe (2001) and and Sara Hughes painting RAM (2004) are included in the forthcoming landmark exhibition Generation X: 50 Artworks from the Chartwell Collection. Organised by the City Gallery Wellington | Te Whare Toi, the exhibition will be presented at Te Papa as a part of the Chartwell 50th Anniversary special programming.

Described as a “big noisy group show featuring contemporary art made by Gen X artists”, the exhibition draws from one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant contemporary art collections, the Chartwell Collection, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Featuring a diverse range of national and international artworks, made during the 90s and early 2000s, the exhibition spans painting, sculpture, installation, sound and video. The artists included address concerns ranging from globalisation, capitalism and the culture wars to identity politics, third-wave feminism, and the commodification of art schools.
