Christchurch Art Gallery Facade
A giant spaceship landed on a plateau
The reflection of a tornado.
An ocean of transparent glass waves
A sleeping dragon lying on the ground
An ice block kissed by the sun, beaming!
The inner can see you outside.

Ronnie Van Hout - Comin' Down
Early on Tuesday 30 April 2013, ten days before our 10th Birthday, Christchurch icon Ronnie Van Hout met up with a couple of crane operators and the gallery team, to install a new artwork entitled Comin' Down, on the roof of 209 Tuam Street.

Why Gnomes Came To Christchurch and Why They Stayed
'John, Robert, I have a job for you.' The male human looks small and puny next to my brother's large frame. He continues, undaunted by our size. 'How would you like to get a job in the city? The pay is good, and you wouldn't need to do anything other than stand still and let people stare at you.'
Notes
Show the light and the dark
Thanks to all those who came out on Saturday to help us launch Sian Torrington's remarkable installation How you have held things at 49 Patten Street in Avonside.
Notes
Ruins
Coventry Cathedral has been invoked as one way of handling our own cathedral re-build: keep the ruins and build something new alongside.

Shandy anyone?
It's pretty certainly the oldest shop in Christchurch. Although to be fair there's not really much competition for that title any more...
