Populate! update #14 (Light bulb moment)
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.

Populate! update #12 (tenth-birthday invites)
Ten years open (whee), two of them closed (sniffle). Here's the birthday-invite message we settled on.
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!
Notes
Populate! update #10 (body building)
The Rolleston, Scott and Godley statues may have toppled in the February 2011 earthquake. But never fear. In the Van Hout 'laboratory' in Christchurch Art Gallery's foyer, Ronnie, with the help of his brother Francis, is building another body for the depopulated inner city. One of the Gallery's tenth-birthday Populate! projects, it's going out -- and up -- very soon. Watch the rooftops round 209 Tuam...

TV is going digital in the South Island (is it still called that?) TODAY, so if you haven't switched then this is what you will be watching.
