Eyes on the skies
If, like me, you've got a space-mad seven year old in the house, you'll be well aware that the European Space Agency's Rosetta Probe has now made its historic rendevous with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (AKA 'the one shaped like a rubber ducky').

Reopening envy
With our eyes firmly set on the reopening of Christchurch Art Gallery at the end of next year, I've been following the progress of other institutions with interest, including the new Renzo Piano-designed Harvard Art Museums.

In praise of windows
As you may know, we've all just shifted to a new office and while we're in closer proximity to each other than before and quite a bit further away from the Gallery's collection, for me at least there's one pretty glorious upside.

Mid Winter Gala Fundraiser Dinner – Bill Culbert style
Amongst the stuffing of moving boxes as Gallery staff vacate their building, there has also been a fair bit of envelope stuffing going on too. Check out Bill Culbert's invitations to this year's Mid Winter Gala Fundraiser. They are restrained, functional, and very Bill.

A new sculpture for Christchurch
A karanga competed with the familiar rebuild soundtrack of hammering and excavating on Tuesday morning, as Lonnie Hutchinson's I like your form was launched at The Commons, on the former site of the Crowne Plaza hotel. Looping through the wooden Arcades frames, the 50 metre-long work reimagines a Maori hinaki, or eel trap, on an epic scale.
