This is the house that jack built reflects on the relationships between economic position, individual contribution and collective labour. The work of international artists Andy Butler, Sara Gómez, and X&Y are presented to Aotearoa audiences for the first time alongside the work of local artists Kerry Deane, Ming Ranginui, and Ashleigh Taupaki. This diverse range of artworks spans fifty years and considers how exchange and relationships happen: through collaboration, whakapapa, nurturing loved ones and places, and underscoring solidarity. This is the house that jack built is the yearly group exhibition at Artspace Aotearoa and addresses their annual question, “do I need territory?”
