Things are getting surreal at Te Papa
- The Wellingtonista
- We might be stuck in New Zealand for a while, but that doesn’t mean the world can’t come to us (especially if they’re rich, apparently). That’s the cool thing about the new exhibition Surrealist Art: Masterpieces from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen He Toi Pohewa: He Toi Marupō o Muhiama o Boijmans Van Beuningen. You’ll get a slice of Europe last century and get to get out of the wind of Wellington all at the same time.

This time it’s a wonderful exhibition about Māori cloaks, which features many kākahu from Te Papa’s collection, plus a small number of unique taonga which we’re fortunate to borrow from elsewhere.

Slope 2009 – 12 June, Manky Chops Gallery
- Texture
- I recall the first time I spotted the haunting portraits of Wellington-based artist, Brad Williams / Slope. It was a couple of years ago at the opening of an Affordable Art Show and they were causing quite the fuss. Since then I have noticed his distinctive works adorning the walls of many Wellington galleries, cafes and bars. So I was uber-stoked when I learnt he was exhibiting at Manky Chops this month.

Their designers have consistently turned out sharp and eye-catching promotional posters and marketing material to tight deadlines and usually in their 'own time'. This show is a tribute to these artists. Nine Years of DesignWorks Time will illustrate the diversity and originality of artists such as Gavin Hipkins, Taika Waititi, Sarah Jane Parton, Regan Gentry and Wayne Youle. The Michael Hirschfeld Gallery will reopen in September 2009 in a new custom-designed gallery space on the first floor of the soon to be larger and revamped City Gallery.

Exhibition - Deborah Barton
- The Wellingtonista
- Deborah Barton is a Wellington-based print maker. She has done a number of exhibitions, and is about to open at the Solander Gallery in Lyall Bay this Saturday, 13 October. Deborah's prints are dark and intriguing, with overtones of childhood mysteries. And now for the good news. As a young artist Deborah's work is surprisingly reasonably priced... Need I say more.
