art at lunchtime

my office is on a road called karangahape road, which is easy to say of course, so it’s shortened to k-road by most people.  It’s one of those bohemiam places which is a mixture of 2 hour red light district, funky clothes shops, strange pubs and clubs and plenty of bargainous cafes/restaurants .  There’s always something interesting going on.  I’ll miss it in a strange way when we move to our new building in a few week’s time.

Anyway, hidden around and about are a few really interesting art galleries

i popped in to one today which had an exhibition of up and coming artists.  i’d read about this installation which had loads of origami roses hanging from the ceiling, each containing some paint or beads or something coloured.  you were meant to pull one off its hanging to add to the creation, but i didn’t want to get paint on me so took a photo or two for you instead.

i also spotted this light pattern through the stairs on the way out which was nice

and since the tiger escaped everyone’s started carry lion-taming chairs around with them.  just in case.  [i made that up]

anyway, i think jane and the girls had a good day.  we were going to watch telly tonight but life got too busy so we didn’t.  oh well.

very chilly this morning again thanks to the cloudless sky = frozen car window screens. i see there’s big rains due for the weekend so at least it’ll be a bit warmer.  see ya
