A fly on the wall

Here are few shots from the St Paul Street opening. A luck would have it, Nick Austin strayed into the frame of one of these shots, the artist who's postcards I had seen earlier that day and posted about last week.


Anne Noble also attended the opening from Wellington and will be giving a lunchtime talk in the Sightseeing space on 12th April at 12:30pm.


You can get a good sense of how the exhibition is layed out in the space through these shots. I very much like the fact that you can sit down and 'read' in this space, as the exhibition is quite intensive with 90 images overall. I like that fact that this exhibition encourages slowing down, reading, and also taking in an image more than once. The battery effect of mass-produced images repeated is actually conducive to looking at them in detail. I should know, I spent quite a bit of time contemplating each one and their endless permutations as we installed them.


By the numbers:


that's all 540 of them;
and all 2,160 peices of blue tack.
