We experience cities in a complex and multifaceted way. This layered experience of urban space was described succinctly by French theorist Michel de Certeau, who explained that when an individual takes a walk through a city the route taken is shaped not only by the layout and design of the city, and collective and hegemonic conceptions of how that space can or should be used, but also by personal memories, stories and dreams. He described cities as deeply personal spaces, experienced in myriad different ways, with each individual having a unique relationship with the same urban space.

Gallery Happenings: Grayson Gilmour

Gallery Happenings: Grayson Gilmour

In early March we were lucky enough to have the incredibly talented Grayson Gilmour performing at the Gallery, supported by the equally talented Purple Pilgrims and New Dawn. I love these gigs, but there is a lot of work to be done behind the scenes to make sure that, by the time the public walk in the door, the foyer is gig ready. The process normally feels like a long, slow marathon with a sprint at the final corner. So here’s a guide to how you too can get the NZI Foyer gig-ready in five (or six) easy steps.
