Notes
Tracking Louise Henderson
I recently wrote about Louise Henderson's painting Addington Workshops (1930) for the Press, and wanted to locate the place in which she stood to make the sketch for the work. It's a complex image and I wanted to understand more about its internal space as well as its history, but the workshops were demolished twenty years ago.
Notes
Louise Henderson, Addington Workshops
For many years, the piercing whistle of the railway workshops off Blenheim Road was Addington's alarm clock.

Jonathan Ngarimu Mane-Wheoki CNZM, 1943-2014
We were all deeply saddened over the weekend to learn of the death of Jonathan Mane-Wheoki (Ngāpuhi ki Hokianga/Te Aupouri/Ngāti Kuri): eminent art historian, scholar, curator, arts leader and cultural advocate.
Notes
Wainui - to the west of the long harbour
"I like Wainui, quaint, charming, rather like a Pieter Bruegel subject with the haymaking in progress." Rita Angus to Douglas Lilburn, 1943

Best flipping thing evarr!
We got a real kick out of our just-closed family exhibition Burster Flipper Wobbler Dripper Spinner Stacker Shaker Maker - and it seems like plenty of our public did too.
