Currently there is a lot of art around Wellington streets as part of the Intenscity project, including photography by Andy Palmer, John Lake and others. Here is a sample. For more info about work censored by the council, check out Andy's blog.

Yes, I still love Wellington...

...even on a cold and wet day.

New Sculpture in Palmerston North

I checked out the recently unveiled public sculpture in Coleman Place in Palmy by Anton Parsons. It's styley, interactive and will hopefully withstand the inevitable vandals.

art - and fashion! - students

We went to the opening of the UCOL photography students' show in the old admin building in Rutland St. I ran out of battery so just got a pic of Jes-ci Singh Nagra's work in the red-light vault. Then later we went to an after-party where I encountered some very weird stuff...

River Walkway Opening

There were heaps of people down at the riverfront this morning with the regular market stalls, but also for the official opening of the riverfront walkway. That's Rab and George with an oar each in the dinghy which could explain their less-than-direct progress up the river. And doesn't Ross have the cutest electioneering vehicle ever?

There are the most beautiful ceilings in our Chronicle studios...
