Spring fever
She's had a fair old rollicking lately, but there are definite signs out there that Canterbury is turning the corner - in a seasonal sense at least.
Notes
The Bright Stuff
Before the quakes, we thought of our Outer Spaces programme as something extra – a nice complement to all the art going on inside. At present, however, with the building still occupied, the Outer Spaces are our Only Spaces, and any new addition to them counts for a lot more than it might have a year ago.
Notes
Stacked
While there's not too much art on the walls at the moment, behind closed doors (arrgh!) there's been plenty of artworks being shifted about for all manner of reasons (repair work, impending nearby demolitions etc.).
Notes
Banded bricks
I used to bike down Durham street past the old Canterbury Society of Arts Gallery every morning on my way to work ...

Dead Keas
It was tragic to see the image of five dead kea at Klondyke Corner at Arthur's Pass in yesterday's Press.
Notes
How to hang pictures
While working in the North Island recently I researched these two magnificent examples of innovative art hanging.
Notes
Happy Snapper
He's done a lot since then, but to me John Reynolds will always be the artist who walked from the Arts Centre into town to buy a roll of film,* but was so entranced by the beauty of fallen leaves in the Avon River that he used it all up on the way back.
