Public Art Heritage Aotearoa New Zealand

Public Art Heritage Aotearoa New Zealand (PAHANZ) "... is a research initiative to find, document and protect [the nation's] 20th century public art heritage.", according to their website. The co-directors are Holloway-Smith and Sue Elliott.

Their research into the murals of E. Mervyn Taylor developed into an informal register of public artwork. CoCA and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage created PAHANZ to develop a national register of 20th century public work. In the early 2020s, the ministry funded PAHANZ to put the register on the web and establish a forum for those working with public art. The web register launched in July 2023 with 380 works. In 2024, Wellington City Council supported the addition of further works in their region.

As of November 2024, the web register lists 421 works. Each one has a current status for the viewing public: accessible, hidden or lost (whereabouts unknown or destroyed).

In 2012, it was shown in the Social Interface exhibition at Ramp Gallery, Hamilton, and was reviewed by artist Peter Dornauf. He wrote that everyday museum pieces had been transformed by 3D printing. The replacements "... present themselves as highly tactile yet prohibit touch because of their strange translucent ghostly nature."

The following year, the model and video were shown in the Among the Machines exhibition at Dunedin Public Art Gallery.

In 2012, the City Gallery Wellington ran The Obstinate Object: Contemporary New Zealand Sculpture exhibition 24 February–10 June.
