Ron Mueck comments
We've put a comments book in the Ron Mueck show where visitors have expressed their pleasure, and in a few cases their disquiet. My favourite comment is "It looked scary but wasn't" which is in fact rather a profound thought.

Big up to the designers
We were delighted to hear that this website was awarded not only a gold medal, but the Purple Pin in the interactive category at last Friday night's BeST awards.

New bunker work installed
We've just had Wayne Youle in, creating a new work for the Gallery's carpark bunker.

Under the sheets
Downstairs in the galleries the exhibitions team have been working flat out for the last couple of weeks to prepare for Ron Mueck.

Earthdance
Over 300 people came to enjoy the music and sunshine at the Gallery on Sunday.
Did you know this globally synchronised event promoting peace took place in over 150 countries, 375 cities worldwide?
Notes
Open for business
It's been a roller coaster ride for all of us in Christchurch over the last 10 days, and for staff at Christchurch Art Gallery as our workplace became an operational civil defence headquarters. Equally, it has been wonderful to see how sturdy our art gallery building is and how collections in storage and on display have withstood the main jolt on 4 September and the subsequent (but now happily diminishing) tremors as the landscape settles. And how committed and able our staff team has been!!!
Notes
Coming back online
As the recovery operation continues around the city, here at the Gallery we are now one step closer to opening.
Notes
Alternative spaces
As Jenny mentioned in her last post, the Gallery is now being used as the Civil Defence headquarters.

Roger Boyce gallery is an ideal meeting space
The Roger Boyce exhibition, like the rest of the gallery, is closed to the public today.
