Colin McCahon Exhibition History Research

This project involves working with the Colin McCahon Legacy Project research team to gather and analyse data for the new Colin McCahon interactive digital archive currently under construction. The Summer Scholar will focus on updating the Project's records of past exhibitions of Colin McCahon's artwork, undertaking primary and secondary source research, and liaising with arts institutions in New Zealand and overseas to source relevant data, archival materials, publications, and photography. They will also plan, research, and write an essay on a related topic to be published on the new website. The project is suitable for Art History or Museum and Heritage Studies students looking to apply their research skills and develop their knowledge about one of New Zealand's foremost modern artists.
