This catalogue was published in association with the exhibition Guests and Foreigners, Rules and Meaning (Te Kore), March-April 2000.

'Guests and Foreigners, Rules and Meanings (Te Kore) serves and a worthy rejoinder to Kosuth's first showing in New Zealand, a remarkable exposure of how culture functions as art's 'second frame', and a vindication of his aims. As one of a set of temporary 'works in situ' this installation is that about which it speaks. It is an embodiment of a global condition and an actual place, of the traffic of signs and the permeability of ideas, of one artist's transient encounters with diverse peoples, histories, cultures, and beliefs. It is manifestly mobile but utterly situated.'
