diana's world tour




I first found out about the Diana World Tour through Beci Orpin's blog, little did I know that it was coming to Auckland!
The Department Store will be hosting the exhibition from the 18th March. Judging by the look of the cameras above, I suggest you pop across.

out of the box



Tonight I went to controlled chaos a.k.a the 'out of the box' exhibition opening at Seed Gallery.
Wine glass in hand, a throng of people & 300 works for $60 each, the push to get 'the best' work was fierce. I however, said with smile on face, managed to nab myself a work by Stafford Allpress - a 'wee room' featuring a spilled cup of coffee.
There were a few other works I could very easily have purchased but I was very self constrained & thought I had better leave something for those waiting to get in :)


"To celebrate the holiday season, Seed Gallery has invited 30 different artists, working across various disciplines & media to work with a set template: a 60mm cylindrical wooden box. The resulting exhibition will showcase 300 artworks reflecting each artists exploration of the limitations & possibilities of this form. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to acquire works by some of our most promising artists for only $60 a piece"

The exhibition runs until the 14th December.

rabbit detail - there was a tiny rabbit in the desk draw & a piece of paper under the leg to stop the wobble. 
This was my favourite.

I managed to check out the Old School exhibition by Stafford Allpress at Seed gallery, it was in its final days so I got in just in time.
And it was well worth it. A gorgeous exhibition of amazingly detailed miniatures that reminded me of my primary school days & my small home town.

'A meticulous treatment of surface and the careful construction and placement of mundane objects make for hauntingly familiar scenes.'

retro goodness







Momentum Gallery in Herne Bay is currently showing an exhibition of these great retro inspired posters. A positive distraction from the current doom & gloom, the exhibition runs till the 31st October.
Framed limited edition posters are available for purchase.

Ive just been too an exhibition opening & discovered the work of painter Sarah Williams. I am loving the colour, loving the texture & loving the ideas of chance and motion.

is that a rat on my head?


I was busy doing two things at once (like a typical girl) and happened across this illustration/exhibition invite - I cant remember where though! Its a pity the show, by Kareena Zerefos, is in Sydney because judging by this invite I could almost safely say it will have some work well worth checking out.

the passage between



I was strolling down Parnell Rise after work last week, & was drawn into Sanderson Art Gallery to check out their latest exhibition by artist Andrew Barns-Graham. I only had a few minutes to spare, but was completely blown away by the portraits on the walls. Each & every piece was a stunning & flawless portrayal of an idealized girl in a natural, yet unrealistic & sometimes threatening, environment. As much as the girl is in the foreground & nature in the background, each element works together in perfect unity. The girl would not be complete without her background & vice versa.

If you are in the neighbourhood, or looking for something to do, I fully recommend popping in to check the exhibition out - it is both powerful & compelling.
