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.
Come to our late-night viewings!
With over 100,000 visitors, Ron Mueck is now the most popular paid-entry exhibition by a living artist ever held in New Zealand. The show draws to a close on Sunday 23 January, and to ensure that you don't miss out we are holding a number of special late-night viewings.
Light work
