Behind the scenes

We've had our own crowdfunding success on Boosted in the past, raising money for our Outer Spaces exhibition programme, but now Christchurch-based artist Julia Holden is looking for help to send a supersized version of one of her 'portraits' of post-quake Christchurch to Auckland - and she only has one day left to make the target! 

Holden (who was mentioned in a recent Bulletin article with regard to the volunteer work she did assisting experts to conserve the ceiling of the Theatre Royal) has created a remakable series of paintings that reflect the unexpected beauty to be found in our 're-worked' city. Find out more about her project here. Eagle-eyed Outer Spaces devotees might have noticed that she also included one of our 'Faces from the Collection' works (Tony Fomison's No!) in the image above.
