Dead

we are not!

Instead we have been busy doing many non-arty things as well as many very arty but very boring and stressful things (such as prepping for mid-year assessment). Hence the lackage of postage. However, as proof that the last couple of weeks weren't just sucked in some kind of mid-year vacuum, here is documentation of various non-painterly thaaaangs that we have busied ourselves with:

1. Mammoth trip to Paeroa






2. Attending design openings at St Paul Street




Note: Interesting to see how the designers attempted using the Gallery 3 space to their advantage. I'm not so sure it is much of an advantage in the case of the photo above but at least some other clever guy decided to hang their work away from the given architectural surfaces of the gallery (see other photo above).

Another note: As I was ranting about building your own surface in the gallery as a way of getting around the minimum of wall space, Thomas from sculpture had a similar idea and informed me of some mega constructions happening for next week's pilot. Mega Constructions = Mega Excitement.

3. Searching for mega fails (or a mega win in this case?)



Truth is, this post is really just a way to procrastinate doing more mid-year prep (reading/writing/trying to make new work and failing miserably). As you can see, wasting time seems to be our forte.
