The magisterial presence of Brett Graham’s Cease Tide of Wrong- Doing 2020 in GOMA’s Long Gallery has been greatly assisted through a group of donors from Aotearoa New Zealand: Dayle and Chris Mace, Chartwell Trust, John and Jo Gow, and Andrew and Jenny Smith, with the very generous institutional support of Govett-Brewster Art Gallery through Director Dr Zara Stanhope. On behalf of the Gallery, I thank every supporter, partner, sponsor and contributor to the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial. Most importantly, I applaud and congratulate the artists, from emerging solo practitioners to the inclusive community-based projects, which embody the complex tapestry of this exhibition. The Gallery is honoured to be entrusted with the fruits of your practice and labour, and to share it with our visitors.
