February races by, even a leap year ‘bonus day’ isn’t going to stop us crashing into March with unseemly speed.
Leisa and I went to the [re] opening of Collecting Contemporary at Te Papa, in particular to catch up with Martin Poppelwell whose wonderful ‘Study for Strip’ is still on display. Have a look at this link, Martin describes how he went about putting the display together...
Martin investigates language, design and the role art plays in such matters as politics. He has created an extraordinary dinner set or table arrangement that uses the ubiquitous nature of such objects as they evoke the sense of rituals- both daily and in turn leading onto more significant types of ritual.
As humans we are attracted to each other through objects that we utilise to discuss or celebrate various points in our lives.
Here at CVG we have four wonderful ceramic pieces and two wall pieces of Martins- ‘study of Odysseus’ and an artists proof of ‘study for a badpie chart’ .
See you soon
