List, lists & more lists
Last time I wrote we were busy making space and getting ready to move the collections back into storage. Since then we've been busy! While the team were installing the Shane Cotton: Baseland exhibition last week, I took stock of what we've done and what's still to do.
Notes

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.
