| Five new Arts Laureates - National Business Review Posted: 17 Nov 2009 11:06 AM PST Arts Foundation Laureates Awards Last night The Arts Foundation has announced its five 2009 Laureates. They are: Lyonel Grant, carver; Witi Ihimaera, writer; Chris Knox, musician; Richard Nunns, musician specialising in Maori instruments, and Anne Noble, photographer. It comes at an appropriate time for musician Chris Know who recently had a stroke which has left him partly paralyzed and unable to talk. For Witi Ihimaera it is probably not such an appropriate time with revalations of plagiarism in his latest novel "Trowenna Sea" Each of the five Laureates received a $50,000 award which has no conditions attached. "The Laureate awards are about recognising senior New Zealand artists who have a substantial track record of excellence, and who still have plenty of creative juices left in the tank," says Foundation chairperson Ros Burdon. This year's Laureate awards mark the Arts Foundation's tenth birthday and has now awarded 49 Laureateships, worth a total of $2.12 million, since it was founded in 2000 to help grow private support for the arts. The Awards ceremony, sponsored by investment banking company Forsyth Barr included live performances by previously awarded Laureates Moana Maniapoto and Derek Lardelli, as well as the inaugural performance of a fire organ built by Alastair Galbraith. The Arts Foundation is now one of New Zealand's largest arts patronage organisations. It has an endowment fund of just over $6 million, and has been promised another $10 million in legacies. As well as the Laureate awards, the Foundation administers six other awards: the Icon Awards; the Governors' Award; the Award for Patronage; the New Generation Award; the Marti Friedlander Photographic Award, and the Harriet Friedlander New York Residency. Through these awards the Foundation has now given a total of $2.66 million to 79 New Zealand artists. Mrs Burdon attributes the Arts Foundation's success over the last decade to three things: stability, innovation and generosity. "Having a committed sponsor for seven years has given us the freedom to grow," she says. "We have been innovative in the way we select artists for awards and the way we celebrate them. This has resulted in new levels of understanding and generosity from many New Zealanders." Forsyth Barr Managing Director Neil Paviour-Smith said that the Arts Foundation's had a significant impact on artists. "We have been privileged to honour 96 artists with the Foundation", said Neil. "Each artist has been gracious in receiving their award and generous in sharing their work. The 2009 recipients of the Laureate Awards demonstrate again the amazing calibre of New Zealand artists". The recipients do not apply for the awards. They are selected without their knowledge by a panel of peers and art experts, and are called "out of the blue" with the news. Members of the 2009 panel were: Elizabeth Ellis (ex-chair Te Waka Toi) Jenny Harper (Director, Christchurch Art Gallery), Derek Lardelli (Laureate – Ta Moko), Bill Manhire (Laureate - Poet) and Grant Smithies (music writer). 2009 Arts Foundation Laureates Witi Ihimaera (Te Whānau a Kai) is one of New Zealand's most important writers. His fiction is written very much from a Maori perspective; Witi sees "the world I'm in as being Māori, not European". Witi published his first collection of short stories, Pounamu Pounamu, in 1972, followed by the novel Tangi in 1974, making him the first Maori writer to publish both short stories and a novel. Significant works since then include The Matriarch (1985) and Nights in the Gardens of Spain (1995). His 1987 novel The Whale Rider became an internationally successful feature film. Witi is now a writer of international status. He has produced work for opera, theatre, ballet and film. His latest novel, The Trowenna Sea, an ambitious work of historical fiction, was published by Penguin this year. Richard Nunns is a authority on ngā taonga pūoro (Māori traditional musical instruments) and is one of New Zealand's most remarkable musicians. Working with the late composer Hirini Melbourne and with Nelson carver Brian Flintoff, he helped rediscover many traditional instruments. Richard has a strong commitment to research, as well as to presenting and performing on traditional musical instruments. Richard was awarded a Queens Service Medal earlier this year. Richard will be working on three different recording projects from mid-November. His next major performing event is with Latitude 35 Degrees South which premieres at the Bay of Islands festival in February. Anne Noble is one of New Zealand's most widely recognised and respected contemporary photographers. She has been described as "one of New Zealand photography's most subtle and poetic of practitioners". She is Professor of Fine Arts (Photography) at Massey University in Wellington, and was awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to photography in 2003. Anne's series Ruby's Room was selected by the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris as the keynote contemporary photography exhibition for the inaugural Paris PhotoQuai Biennale of Photography in 2007. In 2002 she travelled to Antarctica as part of the Artists to Antarctica scheme. She returned to Antarctica in 2008 after winning a prestigious US National Science Foundation Artists and Writers Award. An exhibition of work from that trip is currently showing at Bartley + Company Art in Wellington. The work explores ideas of beauty and toxicity, surface and depth in relation to photography and the Antarctic environment. Chris Knox's output is not confined to making music. He is also known for his spirited and original contributions to film, video, cartoons, writing and criticism in leading New Zealand magazines, and on radio and television. Chris is known as the "spiritual godfather" of the celebrated Flying Nun record label. As well as releasing his own music on Flying Nun, he also helped many bands record on the label. He also designed their LP covers and shot film clips. Chris has been a mentor to many New Zealand bands, and he has an international reputation as an influential musician. Stroke, a new album of Chris's songs performed by local and international musicians, is being released on November 16.
