Overview
Peter Robinson created Strategic plan while based in Germany from the mid 1990s to 2002. The work expresses his aspiration to position himself internationally.
Strategic plan explores Robinson’s sense of cultural dislocation while he was living between countries, cultures, and languages, having moved from the ‘margins’ of the art world in New Zealand to a European ‘centre’.
It also explores how art might be read in a different cultural context. Rather than contemplate the reception of his work discreetly, Robinson presents his ‘vision’ publicly, using provocative statements and ironic humour.
