People who wear bow ties and ride a BMW motorcycle make an instant impression.
ROD BIELESKI
The Vernacular Lounge and the Cultural Icons project are honoured to present a tribute to Rodney Wilson, a practical visionary who has contributed so significantly to New Zealand’s cultural landscape.
As past director of the Auckland Museum, the Auckland Art Gallery, founding director of the Maritime Museum and an outstanding arts administrator and activist it would be hard to have missed mention of Rodney’s involvement in the cultural sector over the last 40 years.
Already aware of this incredible career, The Depot became better acquainted with Rodney through his interviews for the Cultural Icons project and by accolades from other ‘icons’ relating his enormous contribution to the arts and cultural infrastructure of New Zealand.
This is an opportunity to celebrate with Rodney a life lived full of vision, belief and courage and to share with him an assemblage of personal accolades, anecdotes and acknowledgements from his friends, contemporaries and colleagues.
