Series of four electronic publications for Te Tuhi
This publication documents the 2016 Te Tuhi exhibition Share/Cheat/Unite. The exhibition that delved into the human psyche to consider how altruism, cheating and group formation appear to play a key role in shaping society, but not necessarily in the ways we might assume.

VOLUME 3 is the largest issue in the series and explores the power of group formation. In the final chapter of his contextual essay, Bruce Phillips discusses the work of artists Mark Harvey, Ivan Mršić and Hu Xiangqian and unravels the political and psychological dynamics of unification.
VOLUME 4 is dedicated to the conversations that initiated the Te Tuhi exhibition and those that ventured beyond. Phillips reviews the performative curatorial ethos and outlines the exhibition's multiple formats. Melissa Laing's essay draws on the collective knowledge of 'Navigating Conversational Frequencies'-a series of workshops that took place alongside the Te Tuhi show and then later grew into an independent discussion group.
