ÓTHE SACRED ITEMCarved from a single whale tooth, this rare Fijian double-headed ivory hook was thought to be imbued with power. It is believed to depict the deity Nalilavatu, and played a crucial role in rituals and ceremonies. Made from whale ivory, glass beads and fibre, it was kept inside a spirit house within the temple, and protected the hallowed space from thieves. The hook is just one of three known objects that depict Nalilavatu.
ÒSKILLED CRAFTSMANSHIPOne of the most important Māori sculptors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Tene Waitere combined traditional carving techniques with innovative concepts. His Tā Moko panel captures this fusion of old and new. Commissioned by Augustus Hamilton to illustrate his book on Māori art, the panel shows male and female facial tattoos. This portrayal of living people marked a shift away from traditional forms of Māori art, which centred on departed ancestors. Painted red, the wooden panel features inlaid shells.
ÑNEW PERSPECTIVESTen years in the making, a panoramic video by New Zealand multimedia artist Lisa Reihana reclaims the stories of the communities affected by European voyagers. In Pursuit of Venus is a reimagining of Joseph Dufour’s 19th-century wallpaper Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique, and dismantles Dufour’s romanticised view of Pacific cultures. Featuring real actors and traditional music, the video offers an alternative narrative to European accounts of Pacific populations.
ÓREVERED ANCESTORComplete with painted tattoos and elliptical eyes, this female figure depicts a founding ancestor of Aitutaki, an island in the Cook Islands. Following conflict in her homeland of Tubuaki, she accompanied the navigator Ru, his four wives, four brothers and 20 chiefly maidens, to settle on the island. Unlike many Polynesian god figures, she is adorned with tattoos, which highlight her ancestry and high-ranking status.

ÒA ROYAL GIFTIn Hawaiian society, feathered cloaks were reserved for high-ranking individuals and worn during ceremonial occasions. A cornucopia of colour, this example is made from the feathers of indigenous Hawaiian birds. Its story, sadly, is shrouded in tragedy. In 1824, Kamehameha II, the king of Hawaii, led a delegation to England, to meet with King George IV. The party brought a number of high-status objects to present to the king, including this cloak. But Kamehameha II and his wife contracted measles shortly after their arrival in London and died.

ÑCANOE CARVINGSDramatic and intricately carved, this 19th-century Solomon Islands ‘nguzunguzu’ is a prow ornament from a tomako (war canoe). Tomakos were large and elaborately decorated canoes, primarily used in lagoons. The figure is clutching a pigeon, a symbol of navigational virtuosity, and is made from wood, pigments, resin and shell. Canoes were – and remain – an integral part of the Solomon Islands’ culture; there were many different types of vessels, from trading canoes to those used on diplomatic voyages.
From feathered cloaks to feast bowls, a new exhibition celebrates the art and culture of the Pacific Islands. Curator Adrian Locke reveals some of the highlights
TREASURES OF OCEANIA

Until now, Vincent van Gogh’s year, from May 1889 to May 1890, at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole has been shrouded in some mystery. He wrote relatively little
to his brother, Theo, about daily life; perhaps he wanted to shield him from the indignities he was witnessing. Or possibly Van Gogh regarded writing to his brother as a means of escape from the confines of his cell, with its barred windows. Biographers rely heavily on his letters, which has limited our understanding of this crucial period – one in which he produced some of his greatest masterpieces. In writing my new book, Starry Night, I set out to glean as much as I could from other sources about this time. Most importantly, I found an unpublished admission register, which records the names of the other patients. This made it possible to identify most of the men whom Van Gogh called his ‘companions in misfortune’.
They included Jean Revello, who was admitted two years before Van Gogh, at the age of 20. Described in the medical records as an ‘idiot’, a term then used for someone with a mental age of

STARRY NIGHT, June 1889 Van Gogh set to work on this painting over the weekend of 15-16 June and had completed it by the Tuesday. From 7 June he had been allowed out of the asylum and sketched the countryside, which he used loosely in this landscape

‘The optic nerve can only alight on beauty at Chatsworth,’ Linder
Sterling tells me, adding, with candour, ‘it can be exhausting. Sometimes I long to see a chunk of plastic as a palette refresher.’ The artist (known as ‘Linder’) follows the research of the neurobiologist Professor Semir Zeki. He looks at what happens to the brain when we perceive something beautiful. The stimulated areas are those that are also activated when we fall in love. ‘I’ve never fallen for a house before,’ Linder observes. ‘I’m not sure if it’s reciprocal or a one-sided crush.’ We shall soon know. The artist is coming to the close of her residency at the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. This month, examples of the works created will be displayed there. They will also inform The House of Fame, a new artist-curated exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary. This will be the largest UK retrospective of Linder’s work to date, covering 40 years of her practice and featuring more than 100 works by some 50 figures who have influenced her.
Confrontational, audacious, liberated, thoughtful – Linder’s body of work has both vexed and consistently fascinated. She cites Surrealism, feminism and glamour as key influences, for ‘they all have to do with skewing perceptions of

the everyday’. She works, in the main, in collage, sourcing found photographs from the early 20th century to the present day. With those images she utilises the technique of photomontage, creating new imagery and fresh meanings that are distinct from the source material. Her work is challenging, carrying both charm and menace, the
images drawn from domestic, fashion or pornographic magazines. The montages, in turn, are frequently incorporated within other disciplines, including ballet, performance, film, interior design and even cosmetics. Five of the artist’s pieces are in the Tate. Her work has been exhibited internationally. She is also a recent recipient of the UK’s largest art prize – the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award.
NORTHERN STARBorn in 1954 in Liverpool, Linder first came to attention in 1977 for the artwork she
created for punk band the Buzzcocks’ single Orgasm Addict. Raw and provocative, it was a collage of a naked woman whose head had been replaced by an iron and her breasts with smiles. It has been described as ‘a two-fingered salute to patriarchy’. ‘Collage’, Linder has said, ‘was crucial to punk’, adding how, through the medium, you could ‘make things wrong to make them right’. She was also the lead singer of punk band Ludus, which spurred her, despite shot nerves before going on stage, to performance art, laying the foundation for later performances. Famously – long before Lady Gaga – Linder created and wore a dress of meat for a 1982 performance at Manchester’s Hacienda.

Travel Editions celebrates its silver jubilee this year as it toasts 25 years of
curating unique experiences for cultural explorers. The company has long attracted a legion of loyal adventurers with its expert-led approach to group travel. With a portfolio of over 180 escorted tours, and a distinctive focus on art, history and culture, many of the experts giving the talks and tours are also Arts Society Accredited Lecturers.
There are trips created especially for art lovers, foodies, botanical enthusiasts, walkers and history buffs (among others), and a diverse list of more than 200 destinations.

If your interests lie closer to home, you might consider one of a range of exclusive experiences in the UK, from a two-night tour of London’s Art Deco
landmarks to a gala dinner on board the historic SS Great Britain.
While travel has evolved in recent years, old-fashioned service remains of the utmost importance at Travel Editions. ‘The travel industry has been revolutionised by technology and we were quick to embrace its benefits,’ notes managing director and founder Ed Coventry, ‘but not at the expense of our core value of personal service.’ It’s the resulting tailor-made feel that has proved so alluring to discerning travellers. So, as the company celebrates its landmark anniversary, now seems as good a time as ever to start planning your own adventure with them.
