Reece King: Ōtepoti Dunedin 2025is the published outcome of Reece King’s 2025 Frances Hodgkins Fellowship at the University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka.

This richly illustrated publication reveals aspects of the artist’s fecund process and is accompanied by a range of written responses demonstrating various ways King’s audience can locate themselves within his world.Reece King: Ōtepoti Dunedin 2025 is a complement to King’s Frances Hodgkins Fellowship exhibition at the Hocken Gallery,The Ogee & Manaia, which runs from 14 March – 1 August 2026.
