MIERCOLES, EL ONCE DE NOVIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
An invitation to a new exhibition at the Rayner Bros Gallery in Whanganui. Thirty-eight E.T.'s, decorated by thirty-eight artists from around New Zealand...should be interresterling. I'll be posting an photo of my version in the next couple of days. I've tentatively called it 'Spielbergian Pergatory'.
Come along if you can, the exhibition opening is this Saturday at 6pm at 52 Guyton Street, Whanganui.

After a week of openings at the Art School here in Whanganui, I drove over to Hawkes Bay to Judith Anderson's country gallery in Hawkes Bay for the opening of Seen This Century, an exhibition of artists from Warwick Brown's recent book.
Here's a snap of Warwick Brown delivering the opening speech. Ben Pearce's Great Grandfather's Clock is to the right.

Here's the reason I was looking for that specific hood image on the de Cosimo altarpiece (right) - I've put up this image on the left once before, a detail from a large della Robbia altarpiece

Last night was the opening of I Go Where The Party Takes Me. A good turn-out and lots of fun, along with serious conversation. There's some photos of the opening on Jo's blog here.

Here's a photo (middle one) that a friend recently sent me. They're part of a photo shoot by Dan Budnik in Guston's Woodstock studio in 1964. What I like about this photograph in the middle is the square of light and the bottom left of the pic, with Guston's head creating a shadow, echoing his paintings from that period. The linseed-ridden, gun-metal head-shaped blobs seemed to carry on throughout his painting career. Below the photos are two untitled paintings, one from the 1964 period and a figurative head from the last group of ink and acrylic paintings he completed before he died in 1980.
Right, I'm off for a couple of weeks, will upload a post or two when I have internet access.
