Notes
thirst quenchers
We enjoy the odd bottle of craft beer here at the Christchurch Art Gallery, especially when the labels have been created by our own staff.
Notes
Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite
Letterpress + wood-engraving + John Lennon + Sgt Peppers = a Beatles obsessive meets fine printing
Notes
CASS
André Hemer's exhibition CASS is well worth a visit if you are near the Christchurch Art Gallery's space above NG on Madras street.
Notes
Margaret Stoddart: born Diamond Harbour 3 October, 1865.
While the Gallery remains closed to the public the permanent collection continues to grow with several generous gifts and bequests being received recently.
Notes
Wai-te-ata Press
On a recent trip to Wellington I was fortunate enough to visit Wai-te-ata Press at the University of Victoria with local letterpress printer Brendan O'Brien.
Notes
Artists in Uniform or not just another visit to an art gallery on a wet Sunday afternoon
Following on from the article appearing in todays Press on Russell Clark's Japanese Planes, Rekata Bay, Santa Isabel, 1945 it's interesting to see some film footage of Clark, and others, discussing art in 1944 which you can view here.
Notes

A word that has been bandied about in and out of Christchurch, left, right and centre post February 22 is Resilience, a word that has little impact now whenever I hear it mentioned in relation to the earthquakes.
Notes
