i had some interesting conversations with Martyn Coutts at the ADA symposium this year - he said that often Australian curators/organisers don't even consider NZ to be somewhere to look for interesting new talent/ideas to bring in to the countries. in other words, they don't know what's going on here, and they don't think to look.
