Tricksters: Hood, Akehurst and Youle
Tricksters: Hood, Akehurst and Youle
New artworks by Rob Hood, Matt Akehurst and Wayne Youle can be seen at the Christchurch Art Gallery's exhibition Tricksters at NG space on Madras Street. In this exhibition these three Canterbury-based artists disrupt our expectations about how art, artists and viewers should behave. Tricksters runs from 22nd December 2012 until the 27th of January 2013.

(Way Out)er Spaces
We're pretty pleased with what we're achieving with our Outer Spaces programme, but it's always good to see what else is out there. And I do mean 'out there'...
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.
