Petrol Heads
On a recent trip to Wellington to attend the excellent Van der Velden symposium at Te Papa I saw the Britten motorcycle on display and was instantly reminded of one exhibition that was in the pipeline here at Christchurch Art Gallery prior to the big shakes, an exhibition that involved Billy Apple and the Britten motorcycle titled Great Britten!

This Aussie-coined expression was recently named word of the year, but the notion's pretty old hat round here.

Who let the dog out?
I was browsing recently through the online collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and came to an abrupt halt before a sculptural work by the artist Marisol, a detail of which is shown here.
Notes

Three fabulous works from the recent Sculpture by the Sea exhibition on the cliffs betrween Bondi and Tamarama.
