Clément Verger is a French artist-researcher whose work questions the apparent wilderness of the landscapes that surround us in the Anthropocene era, blending artistic production with scientific protocols in a research-driven approach. His projects are conceived as tools for analyzing the complex ramifications of human influence on the environment.
Te Whare Hēra, in collaboration with Te Papa Tongarewa, would like to welcome you to an artist talk to be given by the first artist-in-residence for 2025, French artist-researcher Clément Verger. Join us for a presentation given by Verger followed by a discussion with Acting Head of Art, Curator Historical New Zealand Art Dr Rebecca Rice, Curator Māori and Indigenous Modern and Contemporary Art Isaac Te Awa (Kāti Māmoe, Kāi Tahu, Waitaha, Ngā Puhi), and Curator of Botany Dr Carlos Lehnebach.
