Just visited MySpace and URL is http://www.myspace.com/polynesiaamericana :)

I hope you accept my friend request!

Different, I know, but interesting approach to interpretation of artifacts...

Pasifika Styles: http://www.pasifikastyles.org.uk/
A fusion of contemporary style and technological innovation with
ancient traditions, Pasifika Styles unites the new wave of
contemporary Pacific art and culture with extraordinary historical
collections.

It's currently on at my local museum:
University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
http://museum.archanth.cam.ac.uk/index.htm
The Museum's Anthropology section holds large and unparallelled
Pacific collections (over 30,000 artefacts), including 18th-century
material from Captain James Cook's voyages of exploration. There are
particularly fine 19th- and 20th-century collections from Fiji,
Vanuatu, New Guinea and the Torres Strait.

Hope you can get them to host the touring show!
