A week of openings...

Best in Show opened at object space (http://www.objectspace.org.nz/) on friday and i was there all evening to help pour the wine and wash glasses - along with the very lovely Ingrid, who is a fourth year student at Unitec. I really enjoyed being at the opening with the opportunity to talk to lots of people at the same time as having something to keep me busy. The show looked great but unfortunately i didn't spend a lot of time looking at it! I will have to go back again and take a better look.

Tuesday i went with a friend from work who is a painter to an opening at the newly openend House of Hedone (http://www.houseofhedone.co.nz/index.php/) on High st. I spoke to the owner, Phoebe, for a little bit and she was very enthusiastic about displaying work by emerging artists. I really liked the recycled metal sculptures there.

This afternoon i'm heading over to Masterworks (http://www.masterworksgallery.com/) to see what they've got on... Also on thursday i'm going to the opening of the Uxbridge Estuary Artworks Competition (http://www.uxbridge.org.nz/), along with Tineke, Lisa, Noemi, and Michelle. We are finalists in the show and our work will be on display - yay! Will write again in a few days!
