Sport 18: Autumn 1997
WHITE HORSE BLACK DOG
WHITE HORSE BLACK DOG
‘ With Gregory O’Brien as guest editor, Sport 15 takes the form of a succession of visual and written road works, with a collective focus on journeys through childhood and along New Zealand's highways… Visual centrepiece is the series of eerily arresting photographs that make up Peter Black's 1987 portrait of New Zealand from the road, Moving Pictures. It's a portrait whose effect, according to Ian Wedde, goes beyond the vicarious to take us back to the ‘learning-to-see of children” Such a description might also apply to much of the poetry and prose sitting alongside Black's images. Keri Hulme… Elizabeth Knox… Damien Wilkins… Iain Sharp… Bill Manhire… Andrew Johnston… Graham Lindsay… Number 15 in the series is another winner for Sport; a great idea—and a quality of execution that lives up to it.’—Neville Byrt, NZ Herald
