Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small, scattered islands of the Cook group, the only islands in the Pacific to bear the name of the famous eighteenth-century navigator, occupy a central position in both Pacific geography and Polynesia art. Unfortunately, little of the material culture which Captain Cook might have seen in these islands survives today. Yet those artefacts which are preserved in museums clearly indicate the existence prior to European contact of a rich artistic tradition and a remarkable level of craftsmanship in a variety of materials: stone, shell, ivory, wood, leaf and feathers. The author describes the range and diversity of Cook Islands art, including both ceremonial and functional objects and outlines the materials employed, the processes of manufacture and the function of the objects within the context of traditional island society. About the author Dale Idiens became Assistant Keeper in charge of the ethnographic collections of the Royal Scottish Museum (now the National Museums of Scotland) in 1964 after graduating from university. These collections include a large Polynesian section with important Cook Islands material. As part of a project to develop the Cook Islands collection Dale Idiens visited Rarotonga in 1982 in order to commission replicas of traditional artefacts. Since 1983 she has been Keeper of the Department of History and Applied Art in the National Museums of Scotland and is Deputy Director (Collections) there.

Download or read book Cook Islands Art and Architecture written by Rod Dixon Linda and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cook Islanders, Cook Islands residents, artists, choreographers, performers and scholars write about the vibrancy of local dance, drumming, fashion, painting, quilting, carving, weaving, tapa making, theatre, and other creative endeavours. The book’s 21 chapters provide compelling evidence of Cook Islands visual and performance art as essentially collaborative endeavours, often inspired by the vision of ta‘unga or experts, but elaborated through the collective improvisation of artists or performers who at the same time observe a highly complex, delicate and critical sense for ensemble. Significantly, improvisation and innovation may come from any member of the group ensuring that Cook Islands art retains a strong ‘grass-roots’ enthusiasm, while undergoing constant reinvention and renewal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian missionaries introduced fabric quilt-making to the Cook Islands more than one hundred years ago. Within a short time, Cook Island women turned the tivaevae (needlework, specifically the making of patchwork quilts by hand) into an art form that has become an integral part of local life and culture. In this lavishly illustrated book, Island women talk about their tivaevae--how they are sewn, the ideas that go into each design, and the future of tivaevae.

Download or read book Pacific Jewelry and Adornment written by Roger Neich and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2004-08-31 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magnificent book showcases more than 250 of the finest examples of traditional jewelry from the Pacific. Myriad designs and materials, including jade, whale teeth and bone, shark teeth, tapa, shells, and plant fibers, are woven together in a skillful combination of color and craftsmanship. Apart from their beauty, these personal items also convey information about power, status, and community. Their significance, the ceremonies in which they are worn, and the messages they convey are explored in an illuminating introductory essay. Drawing on the extensive collections of the Auckland Museum, the jewelry shown here represents a vast geographical area: Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, Niue, the Marquesas, the Cook Islands, and New Zealand. The amazing variety of styles and materials reflects the lifestyles, preoccupations, and imperatives of a people surrounded by the largest ocean on the planet.
