Rodney Wilson: Cultural Icon
As past director of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the Auckland City Art Gallery, founding director of the New Zealand Maritime Museum and an outstanding arts administrator and activist it would be hard to have missed mention of Rodney Wilson's involvement in the cultural sector over the last 40 years. In this Cultural Icons interview Hamish Keith talks to Rodney about his remarkable career to date.
The Vernacular Lounge and the Cultural Icons project are also honoured to present a tribute exhibition for Rodney Wilson at The Vernacular Lounge, Satellite Gallery 11 – 25 June 2011. See www.culturalicons.co.nz for more information.
