    • Drown Installation - Free Entry!
      • Artist Amy Audubon’s installation Drown is designed to be an intimate experience that unfolds in stages. To fully experience Drown, Audobon invites you to first visit this website and watch a short video. The music in the short is the work of Grayson Gilmour. who, in 2010 became the first new artist signed to the relaunched Flying Nun label. You have the opportunity to respond in words to the film, and those words are incorporated into the video installation itself, which is open to view here at Downstage between 5-7pm every day.

    • On the passing of Ben Hana
      • On 15 Jan our Courtenay Pl neighbour Ben Hana, more commonly known as Blanket Man or Brother, passed away at Wellington Hospital. In the days since an impromptu ‘shrine’ has appeared on the wall of the ANZ building where Ben was most commonly seen over the last few years. The shrine, like Ben, is destined to become controversial. Simultaneously creative and destructive, as it spreads over the faux-grecian façade of the bank questions and conflicts will arise as to whether it should be left alone, or washed clean. A fitting tribute, and one that would’ve no doubt amused the man himself.
