Episode 52: Coastline Paradox – Josette Chiang

“...avoid the Pakeha books on Maori mythology … take a look in the kids’ section instead.” How to respond to a place that is not your own? Hong Kong artist Josette Chiang talks to Mark Amery about her recent residency in Wellington and the subsequent installation at Toi Poneke Gallery 'Coastline Paradox', which presents various systems of measure applied to Wellington's landscape. Coastline Paradox was completed during Josette's recent residency in Wellington as part of the Wellington Asia Residency Exchange programme with the support of Wellington City Council, Asia New Zealand Foundation and CIRCUIT.
