Populate! update #30 (Tin men)
On 10 May 2063, Christchurch Art Gallery's fiftieth birthday, we'll qualify for gold. On its twenty-fifth birthday, in 2038, we'll find ourselves in the realm of silver.
Notes
Populate! update #28 (The Imagination Playground)
Looks good enough to eat, but it's even better to play with. Bring the kids along this weekend to the Populate! party outside C1 Espresso and let them get all constructive with The Imagination Playground. (Thanks IAG and The Dowse Art Museum!)
Notes
Populate! update #27 (Night visions)
Enlarging the circuit of nocturnal Populate! works (see also Steve Carr's Majo on Worcester Boulevard, Tony Oursler's flickering Incandescence on Madras Street, and the awesome Oursler gallery headbutt blogged by Felicity this morning), here's Ronnie's Comin' Down wearing its new nocturnal colours. Think holograms, night vision goggles, ectoplasm, little (or big) green men, and Martian beams descending from the big dark Canterbury skies. (Thanks Chris Pole for these photos.)
Notes
Populate! update #26 (Hot off the press)
Sure, Roger Sutton and his people have their work cut out rebuilding an entire city. We don't deny it's a big job.
Notes
Populate! update #24 (Masking tape monster)
The joys of working with a lot of masking tape? Getting to make a masking tape monster.
Notes
Populate! update #23 (Bods in boxes)
Here's something the exhibitions team just popped (sorry: the punnage will stop soon) open: two big boxes inhabited by two big bodies.
Notes
Populate! update #22 (Party stuff)
Dress them up with a long-sleeved fluoro jacket. Dress them down with a short-sleeved one. Team them with your 'CERA separates' -- work boots or a protective helmet. Or wear one as a sash and pretend you're Miss New Zealand. Whichever fashion road you go down, these Populate! lanyards are the danglers de rigueur for this season's with-it street party attendants.
