"One of New Zealand's leading writers, Ian Wedde worked from 1994 to 2004 as a member of the conceptual team charged with developing the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa's radical agenda. He came to be closely linked with the museum's aspirations for wide popular appeal, public scholarship and contemporary relevance. Making Ends Meet provides a running commentary on the pressing cultural issues of that project and those years. These essays and talks disclose persistent questionings of the role of institutions in culture. Above all, Wedde challenges them to remain appealing, self-critical, relevant and unafraid; to refuse official sanctimony and to resist co-option to risk-free national brands."--BOOK JACKET.Wedde, Ian is the author of 'Making Ends Meet Essays And Talks 1992-2004', published 2006 under ISBN 9780864735034 and ISBN 0864735030.
