Hanging Around
Curated by Justin Paton, and in development since 2009, Shane Cotton: The Hanging Sky was scheduled to open at Christchurch Art Gallery in late 2011. However, earthquakes and the subsequent closure of the Gallery intervened, and the show was reconfigured as a very successful touring exhibition, visiting venues in Brisbane, Sydney and Wellington. So it will be a pleasure to finally open a version of the exhibition in Christchurch with Baseland in June this year. Bulletin caught up with Shane to ask a few questions about what has been a rather unusual journey.

Gone in (under) 60 seconds
For the past 11 months we've displayed a large scale copy of the Dick Frizzell work Contacts on the rear wall of the Centre of Contemporary Art next door to the gallery.

Director mucks in
Back in 1986, when exhibition crates arrived, not only did they have to be manhandled through the front-door, but the Director himself got up on the back of the truck and supervised the operation.

Now that's what I call sound art
OK, so yesterday we heard about ""sound art"", today let's record the birthday of Richard Wagner, the world's greatest composer of opera, in 1813. Happy 201st.
