[shigeyuki kihara]

Talofa lava and Greetings,

Hope all is well with you in your endeavours.

I'm here to kindly inform you of the current progress in my art practise:

I will be giving a powerpoint presentation about my performance dvd
work *Taualuga;
the last dance* (2006) as part of the Monica Brewster Evening 26th July 2011
held at the Govett Brewster Art Gallery in Taranaki New Plymouth New
Zealand. *Taualuga; the last dance *performance dvd is currently featured in
the group exhibition 'Presence: New Aquisitions and Works from the
Collection' held at the Govett Brewster Art Gallery. Artists featured
in this exhibition include Hany Armanious, Mark Adams, Jacqueline Fraser,
Tony Fomison, Ralph Hotere, Colin McCahon, Hiroyuki Matsukage, Fiona
Pardington, Anton Parsons, Reuben Paterson, Peter Peryer, Lisa Reihana, Ann
Shelton and Shigeyuki Kihara.

I will be in Wellington New Zealand to attend the opening reception of
'Oceania' - a landmark collaborative project between City Gallery Wellington
and Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand held on the 5th August 2011.
My photographic series entitled *Savage Nobilities* (2002) is featured in
the exhibition held at the City Gallery Wellington. I will be participating
in the panel discussion as part of the public program of the 'Oceania'
exhibition held at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand on the 6th August
2011. Artists in this exhibition include Sofia Tekela-Smith, Bill Culbert,
Robin White, Colin McCahon, Ralph Hotere, Mathias Kauage, Greg Semu and
Robyn Kahukiwa and Shigeyuki Kihara.

Please find the attached files included in this email to the press relase
regarding the upcoming residency held at Theatre Hebbel am Ufer (HAU) in
Berlin from 13th August till October 2011 for your reference. My residency
program at Theatre Hebbel am Ufer involves lecturing and mentoring at the
international choregraphic lab entitled MATCHPOINT curated by Jochen Roller
and Dick Wong. My residency also involves presenting a artist talk about my
work as part of the 'Leaving The Comfort Zone' Festival curated by Anna
Wagner held as part of the Asia-Pacific Weeks in the city of Berlin. Artists
featured in this festival include Contact Gonzo, Jecko Siompo, Living Dance
Studio, Faifai, Zachary Oberzan, Atsushi Sasaki and Shigeyuki Kihara.

 I will be utilising my time in Germany to investigate the fogotten shared
history between Samoa and Germany through its colonial legacy by researching
historical archives held in various museums across Germany with the generous
assistance of Jochen Roller who will be on-ground guide. My research project
is made possible through the courtesy of the Visitor Program funded by the
Goethe Institute New Zealand.
