TENNZ
TENNZ - Touring Exhibitions Network New Zealand
The TENNZ group comprises those New Zealand Museums and Galleries that both actively generate and receive touring exhibitions. It is not open to exhibition touring agencies.
Membership is free. TENNZ members meet twice a year (April & November). The April meeting is a half-day gathering, timed and located with the MA conference. The focus of the April meeting is primarily a marketplace where members have an opportunity to promote touring exhibitions from their institution; there is also an opportunity for the host museum or gallery to show delegates around a recently opened exhibition. The November meeting is a full-day gathering and is hosted by one of the TENNZ members. Although the November meeting also has a marketplace and exhibition tour, it also includes presentations and discussions relevant to the exhibition sector.
Meetings tend to be very collegial and a broad range of issues pertaining to touring and staging exhibitions is discussed.
The most recent TENNZ meeting was hosted by Auckland Art Gallery in November 2011. The next will be on 19 April 2012, during the MA12 conference in Wellington.
The current Chair of the TENNZ Group is Gerard Beckingsale - beckingsaleg@npdc.govt.nz
