Post-traumatic sustenance
'I think that art can add to the healing of a city in a post-catastrophe environment...'
Care Package (Part 2)
So yesterday I wrote how the Christchurch Art Gallery had just received a bodacious post-quake care package, which looks like this.
Just the sheer pleasure...
...of going in the door and knowing I have an hour or so of pleasure ahead of me.
B.165 is on its way
It's September, and if you're a subscriber or a Friend of the Gallery you're probably wondering where your copy of Bulletin is... again! But relax, it'll be with you soon.

Ascension in Venice
I've long admired the work of Anish Kapoor, an Indian-born British artist, who shows all over the world. I first saw a work of his in a touring show of modern British art around 1984 at Queensland Art Gallery where I was working at the time (I think it went to the former National Art Gallery in Wellington as well - those were the days). Fine powder in primary colours covered abstracted shapes and fanned out slightly on the surface of the floor; it was quite wonderful.
