Greg Malcolm Record Release Gig
Musical Performance
Past event
Foyer
Free
A live solo performance by Greg Malcolm to celebrate the launch of his new record Just Like Jim, produced in partnership with Ilam Press Records and the Gallery.
Our bar is open from 6pm, with Greg Malcolm performing at 7pm.
One of Aoteroa’s most articulate experimental guitarists, this new album sees Greg committing himself to a 1950s Hofner archtop guitar he inherited from his late grandfather, Jim Spence. In a stripped-back sonic setting Greg fuses his long-running interests in traditional rembetika and klezmer music with memories of his grandfather’s interests in ‘ham’ radio while taking the restored guitar to its outer limits.
The limited edition 12-inch vinyl release is packaged in a bespoke screen-printed cover with large format 8-page booklet containing extensive liner-notes by Greg Malcolm and Bruce Russell, designed and printed by Luke Wood at the Ilam Press. Covers screenprinted by Danny Knight-Baré. Vinyl pressing by Holiday Records (Auckland, NZ) in a limited edition of 150 numbered copies.
Records will be available for purchase before and after the performance.

Countdown to Fifteen
Fifteen is our birthday party (guess how old we are…) and it’s less than two weeks away! It’s also the opening event for Tony de Lautour’s US V THEM, which is our big winter exhibition. We asked curator Peter Vangioni and visitor programmes coordinator Amy Marr what they’re most excited about in the incredible line-up for this grand birthday bash.

Been to some lame ‘youth’ events lately?
Now’s your chance to help create a cool event for you and your friends!
The Mix is Christchurch’s Art Gallery bi-monthly late-night event – an interactive mix of art, music, film and good people. We want to run a Mix designed, curated and for under 18s – ReMix.

Gallery Happenings: Grayson Gilmour
In early March we were lucky enough to have the incredibly talented Grayson Gilmour performing at the Gallery, supported by the equally talented Purple Pilgrims and New Dawn. I love these gigs, but there is a lot of work to be done behind the scenes to make sure that, by the time the public walk in the door, the foyer is gig ready. The process normally feels like a long, slow marathon with a sprint at the final corner. So here’s a guide to how you too can get the NZI Foyer gig-ready in five (or six) easy steps.
