Hellzapoppin'! Flying Saucer poster
Ronnie van Hout
Hand-screenprinted poster on 175gsm paper
Want a limited-edition fluorescent piece of New Zealand music history in the form of a hand-screenprinted Ronnie van Hout approved art poster that can live on your wall and will make your friends jealous and is totally unique and numbered and will totes be worth a fortune one day but you’d never sell it cos it totally reminds you of that one time you saw the band at the Gladstone and nearly stole a poster but didn’t…
We’re really excited to be working with artist Ronnie van Hout to produce 200 super special hand-screenprinted posters based on an absolute classic – Ronnie’s Flying Saucer cover for the Pin Group’s classic Go To Town EP.
Printed in fluro inks on white 175gsm Colorplan paper, there will be four colourways. And like the classic Flying Nun record covers we’re riffing off, no two will be identical. There will be 50 of each colour available - what you get will be a lucky dip but if you buy more than one we'll make sure they're different.
The printing is being done here in Christchurch by local artists Tjalling de Vries and Scott Jackson, and every copy will be numbered and stamped ‘Ronnie Approved’. There will only be 200 of these produced, and we’re expecting them to sell out fast. Get in now and make sure you don’t miss out.
These posters are being created mark the fortieth anniversary of the founding of Flying Nun Records in Ōtautahi Christchurch, and accompany the exhibition Hellzapoppin’!The Art of Flying Nun. The exhibition brings together original artwork and design, film, record covers, posters and photography from some of New Zealand’s favourite bands. From rare collectible records and vintage posters to original artworks and paste-up designs, we're exploring the art and artists behind the music.

Remix Committee: We Need You!
We are looking for a small group of passionate taste-makers to join our ReMix Committee. Come and ensure YOUR voice is represented at Christchurch Art Gallery by working with our team to plan an event (and other activities) that is all about, and for, young people. We don’t want to tell you what you might like, we want you to tell us! You pick the theme, you pick the bands, you pick the performers, you pick the film, you pick the speakers.

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.
Notes
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.
