Populate! update #17 (How to make a narthex)
Saturday afternoon at Christchurch Art Gallery's 209 Tuam Street outpost and Jess Johnson's Wurm Whorl Narthex is on the grow. Only two days into a six-day install, the hand-painted backdrop is already a treat for the eyes, with green (not red) tape masking the walls in readiness for the next layer of colour. Views from the installation in progress (with the Gallery's Scott Jackson in the last photo)...

Populate! update #16 (Iggy Populate!)
Ageing rock god joins Populate! programme in clever cross-branding exercise. As seen on the front and back cover of the Go section of today's Press.

Ever get the feeling a work of art is trying to tell you something?
Notes
Populate! update #13 (Face Books)
Thirty books...over forty faces at the Peterborough Street Library. Face Books (opening May 11, just after our birthday) brings together an array of portraits from artist's books drawn from the Gallery's library.

Notes
Populate! update #11 (Comin' Down)
Putting up Ronnie van Hout's Comin' Down in the early morning of Tuesday April 30. Big ups (so to speak) to Sean, Chris, Rebekkah, Simon, Nathan, Francis, Ronnie, Sam, the crane guys and everyone else involved. (And John Collie for the photos.)

With a little help from our friends
Well, with three days to go and 47 per cent of our target still to find, we have to say we were sweating it a little – not sure if we'd get to our $25,000 funding goal. But today, the anxiety is now over!
