As fully fledged exhibition it has travelled to Dowse Art Museum, Lower Hutt, Peninsula Arts, Plymouth University, Devon UK, and\u00a0 St Pauls Gallery, AUT, Auckland, in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Project curator Hanna Scott describes it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe postcards literally become the exhibition, challenging the traditional use of postcards to venerate the landscape. These are not typical tourist sites&#8230; The project is significant because it highlights how artists travel and conduct research. Their images are often driven by unusual impulses\u2014like Wayne Barrar photographing underground spaces, or Mark Adams documenting the Treaty of Waitangi signing sites.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The exhibition evolved from an interest in experiencing travel through someone else\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI became fascinated by the idea that we often experience landscapes primarily through photography, rather than direct encounter. The most elegant way to capture this was to use sites we wouldn\u2019t typically visit\u2014such as places associated with undocumented immigrants.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Scott adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe unique format emphasizes the mobility of the postcard medium, and how landscape photography is intertwined with tourism\u2014especially in an era of instant electronic communication.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Sightseeing<\/em> is both an exhibition and a book, bringing together 90 photographs by 15 highly regarded contemporary artists from Germany and New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>Participating artists include: Elger Esser, Haruhiko Sameshima, Sarah Schoenfeld and Shmuel Hoffman, Jeremy Diggle, Anne Noble, Ann Shelton, Wayne Barrar, Grit Schwerdtfeger, Eva Leitolf, Doris Frohnapfel, John Di Stefano, Frank Breuer, Karin Apollonia M\u00fcller, Fiona Amundsen, and Mark Adams.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>RIM BOOKS<br \/>\nISBN 978-0-473-16560-4<br \/>\n2010<br \/>\n32pp individual strips of postcards, ill 90 mostly col. 200x138x65mm<\/p>\n<p>Esther Ruelfs, essay<br \/>\nHanna Scott,\u00a0Ann Shelton ed.<\/p>\n<p>RRP NZ $60 plus post and packaging<\/p>\n<p class=\"product woocommerce add_to_cart_inline \" style=\"NONE\"><a href=\"\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271?add-to-cart=2154\" aria-describedby=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_2154\" data-quantity=\"1\" class=\"button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart\" data-product_id=\"2154\" data-product_sku=\"978-0-473-16560-4\" aria-label=\"Add to cart: &ldquo;Sightseeing&rdquo;\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-success_message=\"&ldquo;Sightseeing&rdquo; has been added to your cart\" role=\"button\">Add to cart<\/a>\t<span id=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_2154\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>Recently found cache is now available<a href=\"mailto:info@rimbooks.com\"> info@rimbooks.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sightseeing is both an exhibition and a book, bringing together 90 photographs by 15 highly regarded contemporary artists from Germany and New Zealand. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/sightseeing\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,11],"tags":[15],"class_list":["post-271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibition-catalogue","category-photography","tag-publication-2","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rimbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
