Notes
Populate! update #8 (face up)
The waning sun and lowering weather have one nice side-effect, which is to create the perfect conditions for viewing Peter Stichbury's backlit billboard NDE, newly installed on Worcester Boulevard.
Notes
Populate! update #6 (wanting it)
Whenever a new exhibition or project goes on show here, we work with the artist involved to choose an image that will stand for the show on this website.

Notes
Populate! update #1 (not quite Hollywood)
Our tenth-birthday Populate! programme is revving up – fast. Here's the first of what'll be quite a few Populate! updates leading up to our birthday on May 10. (And a warning to those suffering coulrophobia, or fear of clowns: DON'T SCROLL DOWN.)

Glittering
When it comes to posting comprehensive pictures of your new exhibitions online, opinion is divided.

The Sydney connection
No prizes for spotting connections between Shane Cotton's paintings and New Zealand history.
