Shane's show Baseland opens today at Christchurch Art Gallery's space at 209 Tuam Street and also at Ilam Campus Gallery at the School of Fine Arts, University of Canterbury.

Staff here at the Gallery have enjoyed finally getting the opportunity to see Dust, Smoke and Rainbows (2013), a major new painting gifted by Shane Cotton, which was brought out of storage to be photographed recently.
Slow-mo-tastic
My friend's daughter visited our ArtBox show Burster Flipper Wobbler Dripper Spinner Stacker Shaker Maker (on till September 28!) on a school trip recently and was captivated by Steve Carr's Screen Shots videos, in which a paint-filled balloon bursts in super slow motion.
