Books, Beautiful Books
If any of our blog readers are in Melbourne over the next month or two we recommend a visit to the excellent exhibition Art and Adventure: the Fine Press Book from 1450 to 2011 which opened at the University of Melbourne's Baillieu Library last week and runs through to May.
Feeling blue
Knowing Bill Culbert will make a wonderful new piece for the Venice Biennale in June 2013 makes the impending demolition of Christchurch's Convention Centre somewhat more poignant for me. For it involves the end of his site-specific work, Blue, 2000 – in my view one of Christchurch's public art highlights.
Kiwi fortune hunters
It was surprising for many of us to read in the Press recently about the planned replacement for the broken BNZ in Cathedral Square.
Sticks and stones
The historic Canterbury Provincial Chambers are slowly being pulled apart piece by piece, labelled and placed in specially made crates seen here in the foreground.
Top Selling Gallery Cards
I have pulled together the top selling card images on sale in the shop since February 22nd. An interesting and eclectic collection it makes too.
