Since our last update many more changes have taken place, most noticeable for us is our colleague Shirin Khosraviani has departed for her new role as Curator/Manager at the Ashburton Public Gallery. Her departure is a sad one but we are extremely happy for her and are excited to see what great things come of this new role.
Due to structural damage still being found, accessed, and rectified, our return to Christchurch Art Gallery has had to be revised on a monthly basis. Presently, we are looking toward a date in late October for our return. We are still working from our Home Office and are continually answering queries, valuation requests and commissions.
We have a NEW exhibition schedule showcasing our Christchurch Artists. Beginning 30th July with our 1st “Home Edition” show entitled Re/DeConstruction; 11 Christchurch Jewellers highlights the great wealth of creativity that Christchurch has. This is a 4 day exhibition at our home office location, with all work uploaded to our website on the 4th day! There all work can be viewed, enquired about and commissioned.
This format will continue each month showcasing other CHCH Artists working in different materials. So please watch this space as in the following months we have work from Kim Henderson, Akane Nakao in August and new work by Doug Neil & Annabel Menzies-Joyce in September. Exciting times are ahead, and we hope to make “Form home edition” a date everyone will pencil in their calendar.
If you are not on our mailing list and would like further updates, news, invites to our upcoming exhibitions, please just email us at form@inet.net.nz with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line.
We also like to inform our clients that we still stock both quake gel & wax.
On behalf of myself, my staff and the artists I represent, I would like to thank all our clients for the great support and good wishes which we have received over the last number of months. It is with this support and good will that I believe Form Gallery will continue as a part of Christchurch art community.
