About this Exhibition

From strange grey forms resting in cages, to old furniture that takes on a life of its own, through to beautiful abstract paintings made from 'liqueurfaction' silt, Meet me on the other side is Christchurch artist Julia Morison's evocative response to the earthquake of 22 February. Shown in Auckland in late 2011, where it was acclaimed for its 'horrifying brilliance' and 'force and pathos', this body of work has been brought back to Christchurch for a special showing in a space above NG at 212 Madras Street.

Exhibition open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm.
