Te Tuhi is proud to present the publication Yona Lee: In Transit (Arrival). Documenting the elaborate installation In Transit (Arrival) by Auckland based artist Yona Lee, this limited edition bi-lingual (English and Korean) publication features full-page colour images of the work plus writing by Jinsuk Suh, Director, Nam June Paik Art Center, Seoul; Bruce E. Phillips, Curator at Large, Te Tuhi; Jungah Lee, Curator, Alternative Space LOOP, Seoul and design by award winning graphic designer Kalee Jackson.
Commissioned by Te Tuhi in 2017, In Transit (Arrival) was a complex maze-like construction made of 1.4 kilometres of steel tube and a miscellany of everyday objects, ranging from coat hangers to bus handles, and from street signs to umbrellas. This ambitious large-scale work weaved throughout the entire length of Te Tuhi's building and provided an intriguing framework to consider the objects that surround us, the infrastructures that mobilise and the systems that control.

This four volume series of e-publications document the 2016-2017 Te Tuhi exhibition Share/Cheat/Unite. The exhibition that delved into the human psyche to consider how altruism, cheating and group formation appear to play a key role in shaping society, but not necessarily in the ways we might assume.
Te Tuhi's 2012 exhibition Between memory and trace brought together three unique projects by artists Ruth Ewan, Maddie Leach and Luke Willis Thompson. By engaging with humble traces of life, these artists explored an inherent contradiction of memory – that to remember, some information must be lost, or someone forgotten. This free digital publication, edited by Rebecca Lal, investigates these individual projects through in-depth essays by Shannon Te Ao and Bruce E. Phillips, and a foreword by Director James McCarthy.
