Which is some consolation for all the visitors to Te Papa who’ve been puzzled by the national museum’s inexplicable and unforgivable decision to close its entire art space for two months.

- What do bright red snakeskin, an iconic Pink Floyd album, dolls heads, Elastoplast bandages and an axe all have in common? They're all part of Critical Mass, a new exhibition from The Dowse Collection that opens on 25 February. "The stuff of this exhibition is the stuff that makes up the world around us — ordinary domestic objects and discarded junk — that are transformed by artists into extraordinary encounters," says Emma Bugden, curator of Critical Mass.
