De-de-building
The show's only been open a matter of weeks but plans to 'de-build' De-Building are already well underway.
Goodies
A few weeks ago the staff here dealt with the biggest art crate they'd ever handled, for Ron Mueck's huge sculpture A girl.
Inside job
The view from inside the walls in the De-Building spaces, with holes cut and waiting for the arrival of Fiona Connor's installation of facsimile domestic windows, What you bring with you to work.
The De-Build begins
Our internal De-Building billboard goes up, with some finishing touches from the Stanley knife.
'Thanks for having me'
Artist Ron Mueck, whose astounding exhibition closed at the Gallery on Sunday, has written to thank Gallery staff and the people of Christchurch for having the show.
The view from the front
The role of Visitor Host at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetū is full of contrasts; never more so than now, during the Ron Mueck exhibition.
Worth the wait
The balcony has become the favourite spot for Gallery managers to marvel at the queue for admission to the Ron Mueck show.
Ron Mueck a Runaway Success
A record 100,000 visitors have now seen Ron Mueck's lifelike sculptures at the Gallery.
