Visitor Info

Populate! update #26 (Hot off the press)

Sure, Roger Sutton and his people have their work cut out rebuilding an entire city. We don't deny it's a big job.

Populate! update #25 (A Cry for Help)

We're a stoic lot here at Christchurch Art Gallery.

Populate! update #24 (Masking tape monster)

The joys of working with a lot of masking tape? Getting to make a masking tape monster.

Populate! update #23 (Bods in boxes)

Here's something the exhibitions team just popped (sorry: the punnage will stop soon) open: two big boxes inhabited by two big bodies.

Populate! update #22 (Party stuff)

Dress them up with a long-sleeved fluoro jacket. Dress them down with a short-sleeved one. Team them with your 'CERA separates' -- work boots or a protective helmet. Or wear one as a sash and pretend you're Miss New Zealand. Whichever fashion road you go down, these Populate! lanyards are the danglers de rigueur for this season's with-it street party attendants.
