'This catalogue is one of ten published on the occasion of the exhibition, Manufacturing Meaning: the Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection in context. It documents and explains the contribution of guest curator, Stuart McKenzie, to the project. McKenzie examines Michael Smither's Christ driving the money changers from the temple 1972, in light of a range of recent works which also engage the nexus between art and money, the sacred and the profane; and offers insights into Christian attitudes towards economic gain.'
