Timeline

1968

Michael Te Rakato Parekōwhai (born 1968) is a New Zealand sculptor and a professor at the University of Auckland's Elam School of Fine Arts.

He is of Ngāriki Rotoawe and Ngāti Whakarongo descent and his mother is Pākehā.

1987

After leaving high school, Parekowhai worked as a florist's assistant before commencing a bachelor's degree in fine arts at University of Auckland's Elam School of Fine Arts (1987–1990).

1998

He trained as a high-school art teacher before returning to Elam to complete a Master's degree in fine arts (1998–2000).

Parekowhai makes a variety of work across a range of media that intersects sculpture and photography.

Sally Blundell, writing in the New Zealand Listener, says:

Despite the range of Parekowhai's output, his practice is linked throughout, both stylistically—a characteristic 'gloss' of high production value—and thematically.

Curator Justin Paton writes that Parekowhai's works "have a way of sneaking up on you, even when they're straight ahead."

He continues:

"Pick-up sticks swollen to the size of spears. A photograph of a stuffed rabbit who has you in his sights. A silky bouquet that rustles with politics. Seemingly serene beneath their gleaming, factory-finished surfaces, Michael Parekowhai's sculptures and photographs are in fact supremely artful objects. 'Artful' not just because they're beautifully made...but also because they manage, with a combination of slyness, charm and audacity, to spring ambushes that leave you richer."

Parekowhai's work is held in most New Zealand public gallery collections and a number of international museums, including the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia.

2001

Parekowhai was awarded an Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate Award in 2001.

2011

He represented New Zealand at the 2011 Venice Biennale.
