He wrote the text that accompanied the exhibition.
Paton was the curator of contemporary art at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery between 1999 and 2009.
He was the editor of New Zealand's oldest literary journal, Landfall, from 2000 until 2005.
Paton has also written extensively about artists, including a book about Australian sculptor Ricky Swallow in 2004, and essays about New Zealand painter Kushana Bush, Argentinian sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas, New Zealand artist Ronnie van Hout, and Australian painter Ben Quilty.
His book How to Look at a Painting (2005) was adapted into a 12-episode television series by TVNZ in 2011.

Kim Knight, reviewing the show for the Sunday Star Times, noted that "among the many things Paton does brilliantly is make art accessible to everyone".
Christopher Moore at The Press said Paton is "one of those rare individuals in the art world who can bring an artwork to life, inspiring you to plunge into the artist's imagination; to burrow beneath the surface of the canvas, paper and paint to see what lies beneath".
In 2012, Paton was the recipient of one of New Zealand's most prestigious literary awards, the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship.
He spent over six months living and working in Menton, France, where Katherine Mansfield lived and worked for part of her life.
