This thesis discusses contemporary visual arts in French Polynesia through the practice of four artists living and practising in Tahiti and Mo'orea, who are not native Polynesians, or even born there, yet whose work is dependent on its relationship to Polynesian culture. The discussion of the relationship established to the environment and local culture by Hervé Fay, Andreas Dettloff, Jonathan Mencarelli and Jean-Paul Forest tackles key notions at stake in art history, and in cultural and heritage studies in general. Through a detailed discussion of selected artworks, this thesis examines questions of ethnicity, legitimacy, and appropriation of culture; the definition of artistic categories whether embedded with Western or Pacific considerations; and the institutional representation of contemporary visual arts in Tahiti. It opens with the first 'Tahitian Pavilion' presented at the 2007 Venice Biennale, an ironic and critical initiative by two of the selected artists, which focuses on the lack of institutional representation and official support for contemporary visual arts in French Polynesia, and raises many of the themes of the thesis. This thesis gives attention to an area which remains generally underrepresented in academic fields, while privileging a complementary approach that reflects both Western and indigenous viewpoints. The concerns at stake in the approaches found in the artists' practice are informed by debates around postcolonialism, indigenous rights, and auto-determination over cultural heritage, as well as bicultural concepts in Aotearoa New Zealand where this thesis has been written. Yet the confrontation of pre-conceptions developed in the Tahitian context questions the relevance of such interrogations in this environment. This is addressed in a section that outlines the historical and cultural background of French Polynesia, providing a context for the artists' practices, and highlighting some of the characteristics specific to the local environment. These issues were also explored through conversations with the artists and local cultural actors, who form part of their audience. The work of the four artists shows their dependence on Polynesian culture in very different ways, from styles and motifs to technical processes, content, and local environment. The identification of forms appropriated by them reveals a major tendency to engage with Marquesan repertoire. Colonisation and its impacts on local cultures throws light on this, and highlights how the traditional use of specific motifs was altered, thus potentially changing how one might define the nature and impact of contemporary cultural appropriation by non-indigenous artists. Beyond French Polynesia where the artists established strong links, which can explain, even perhaps justify, their dependence on local culture, however, a more problematic wider appropriation of other cultural elements, such as Māori forms, adds another dimension to the debate.

Drawing on the exciting developments that have occurred in the anthropology of art over the last twenty years, this study uses ethnographic methods to explore shifts in the art market and global contemporary art. Recognizing that the huge diversity of global phenomena requires research on the ground, An Anthropology of Contemporary Art examines the local art markets, biennials, networks of collectors, curators, artists, patrons, auction houses, and museums that constitute the global art world. Divided into four parts – Picture and Medium; World Art Studies and Global Art; Art Markets, Maecenas and Collectors; Participatory Art and Collaboration – chapters go beyond the standard emphasis on Europe and North America to present first-hand fieldwork from a wide range of areas, including Brazil, Turkey, and Asia and the Pacific. With contributions from distinguished anthropologists such as Philippe Descola and Roger Sansi Roca, this book provides a fresh approach to key topics in the discipline. A model for demonstrating how contemporary art can be studied ethnographically, this is a vital read for students in anthropology of art, visual anthropology, visual culture, and related fields.

4e de couv.: Considered one of the most significant and comprehensive assemblages of Polynesian works, the Blackburn Collection of Polynesian Art contains objects from nearly every area of Polynesia from Hawaii to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to Aotearoa (New Zealand), and the many islands in between. The traditional forms are both ceremonial and functional from delicate ivory ornaments and finely textured barkcloth to formidable weaponry and imposing sculpture in coral, wood, and stone. Adrienne L. Kaeppler sets the Blackburn Collection of Polynesian Art the larger context of Polynesian cultural and artistic traditions in her illustrated introduction and suite of essays featuring significant objects from the collection. Selected paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs, documents, and medals related to Polynesia provide additional cultural and historical context. Following the essay is a fully illustrated catalog of the collection organized by island area. In Polynesia, the visual arts and associated objects serve as physical representations of the underlying aesthetic, social, and religious aspects of island cultures. In some cases, the eloquent objects here may be all that remain of once-vibrant traditions.

Tahiti evokes visions of white beaches and beautiful women. This imagined paradise, created by Euro-American romanticism, endures today as the bedrock of Tahiti's tourism industry, while quite a different place is inhabited and experienced by ta'ata ma'ohi, as Tahitians refer to themselves. This book brings into dialogue the perspectives on place of both Tahitians and Europeans. Miriam Kahn is professor of anthropology at the University of Washington and author of Always Hungry, Never Greedy.
