New Gallery Space for Christchurch
Christchurch's visual artists have been doing it tough of late, but there's at least one bright spot on the horizon with the opening of a new gallery, Chambers@241, on 20 July.
The ghost of studios past
In preparation for the next issue of Bulletin, Gallery photographer John and I have been out photographing some of the local artists who will be taking part in Rolling Maul when we reopen.
Flying Flywheels
Leo Bensemann's Diadem platen press being transported from the Gallery back to its home at the Ferrymead Printing Society today.

There was a full house at The Brewery last night for The End is at Hand gig, featuring Reverend Beatman from Switzerland and Christchurch's Delaney Davidson.
