Wayne Youle: Look Mum No Hands
14 April – 3 September 2017
Full to the brim with high energy, sharp-witted artmaking
Artist Profile
Wayne Youle: Look Mum No Hands
He’s been called a cultural prankster, an agent provocateur and a bullshit artist (that last description came from his dad, but it was bestowed – he’s pretty sure – with love). While we’re at it, add ‘serial pun merchant’ to that list; in art, as in conversation, Wayne Youle can spot a good one-liner a mile off and has never knowingly left an entendre undoubled.
Notes
The House of Wellbeing
On Saturday, I spoke at the launch of a major new work of art in public space—Wayne Youle's installation The House of Wellbeing ALL WELCOME, at the CPIT Aoraki campus on Madras Street.
Notes
Viva Sydenham
It seems a lifetime ago that we combined with Gap Filler to launch the Gallery's first post-quake Outer Spaces project in Sydenham.
Notes
Wayne’s workshop
Wayne Youle ran a two-day workshop for 25 teenagers over the weekend. Students from an array of local Christchurch secondary schools were challenged to keep up with Wayne's non-stop energy... and to learn creative and design skills.
Notes
Where in the world is this year's first outer space?
So Wayne's wall is all done (and gloriously untagged) and Ronnie's peering out nightly over the Boulevard.
Notes
Shine on you crazy public art diamond
Just one last weather report, before this blog starts looking like a franchise of metservice.com...
Notes
LOVING THE BULLDOG
You could be forgiven for thinking that Wayne Youle is giving the French Bulldog a big hug.
Notes
What's going on in Sydenham?
Your father or grandfather probably had one. Maybe you've created one of your own. Possibly there's one on a wall at home, left there by a previous owner.
Notes
New bunker work installed
We've just had Wayne Youle in, creating a new work for the Gallery's carpark bunker.
