Western Art in a Pacific Context

Western Art in a Pacific Context

The guest this week In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Triangle Television is the New Zealand-born artist Mark Cross. Mark lives part of the year on the circular coral island of Niue which sits just 19 degrees south of the equator, 2400km north east of New Zealand.

Mark is considered one of the South Pacific's leading contemporary realist painters and his works are sought after by collectors from the Pacific rim and from further afield. In a sometimes eerie mix of landscapes and people, his works are well known for imparting a social message that speaks of mankind's delinquent abuse of his home on planet Earth. His website is at www.markcross.nu

Triangle Television, Wednesday 19th of December at 7:00pm, repeated on Thursday 20th of December at 12 noon.

Triangle Television, the home of public broadcasting, can be received in the Auckland region on UHF Channels 41, 42 and 52.

Triangle Television is also transmitted live on streaming TV which can be received (as a live feed) on broadband-connected computers and on Internet-connected television sets throughout New Zealand. Point your Media Server or Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, ...) to www.ecasttv.co.nz

From next February, Triangle Television will be re-branded as "Face Television" and will be available on Sky Channel 89. Face Television will continue to broadcast on UHF in Auckland until later in the year when the analogue service will be withdrawn. Further details will be provided as they become available.

In Conversation with Noel Cheer receives funding from New Zealand on Air. This has enabled us to introduce viewers to over 200 New Zealanders on Air during nearly 6 years of unbroken weekly broadcasting.
