* The Naked and the Nude
The Naked and the Nude
This summer the Christchurch Art Gallery is getting its kit off, unveiling both its new renovations and an exhibition on the unclothed human figure. The Naked and the Nude, focusing on one of art's oldest and most enduringly controversial subjects, brings together dozens of bare bodies from the gallery's collection. Featuring artworks spanning the generations and their media, it displays languid academic nudes and the fragmented bodies of recent art. Along the way, the exhibition charts the growing tension between the nude and the naked - between works of art that idealise the body and those that try to tell it like it is.

* Long Distance Vision at NGV

For adventurous Kiwis considering a trip across the ditch, The National Gallery of Victoria in Australia is running a major exhibition featuring three Australian photographers. Long Distance Vision displays 60 works from the NGV collection exploring the concept of the 'tourist gaze', featuring work from Max Pam, Christine Godden and Matthew Sleeth - seasoned travelers all. "What is noteable in the photographs in Long Distance Vision is that rather than focusing on the well-known scenes that each artist encountered, they have turned their attention to the 'little things', the details of the everyday", Susan van Wyk, Curator Photography, NGV. Long Distance Vision opens August 28, 2009 and runs until February 21, 2010, so there's plenty of time to catch the show if you were plotting a visit to the West Island. The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia

Neil Pardington The Vault
Time: 6:00 pm
Although Christchurch Art Gallery is currently undergoing refurbishment, its doors are set to open later this year, with hundreds of works going on show to the public for the first time in six-and-a-half years. Meanwhile, a bevy of exhibitions are going up, including the touring program by photographic artist, Neil Pardington. The Vault is a major project for Pardington, who worked behind-the-scenes in museums and galleries across the country with his large format camera. The results include the forty large-scale framed photographs on display at Christchurch, which reveal the hidden collection storage spaces normally closed to the public. For Pardington the works signify the 'collected culture and history of those things we deem important enough to keep, and what those things tell us about ourselves'. The gallery explains that 'this exhibition represents a significant recent body of work by a leading contemporary photographer'. Christchurch Art Gallery

* I See You There
I See You There
McNamara Gallery is exhibiting a selection of architectural photography by Simon Devitt this February. In the works chosen for the exhibition, called I See You There, Devitt uses his eye for detail to explore spaces. An Auckland-based photographer, Devitt has received a number of awards, seen his work published in architecture books internationally and been included in prestigious exhibitions, such as 'New Zealand's Best Photographers' in 2000. For his new show at the Wanganui gallery, Devitt explains his challenge is not to capture the 'real' aspect of an architectural space but to represent what it feels like to be there. "I always spend time being still in the environment I am charged with photographing", said Devitt, "I listen as much as I watch. I wait to hear its breath. This is how I find what is really in the space". I See You There runs from February 5-26, 2010 at McNamara Gallery, 190 Wickstead Street, Wanganui.

For his new show at the Wanganui gallery, Devitt explains his challenge is not to capture the 'real' aspect of an architectural space but to represent what it feels like to be there. "I always spend time being still in the environment I am charged with photographing", said Devitt, "I listen as much as I watch. I wait to hear its breath. This is how I find what is really in the space". I See You There runs from February 5-26, 2010 at McNamara Gallery, 190 Wickstead Street, Wanganui.

* The Naked and the Nude
The Naked and the Nude
This summer the Christchurch Art Gallery is getting its kit off, unveiling both its new renovations and an exhibition on the unclothed human figure. The Naked and the Nude, focusing on one of art's oldest and most enduringly controversial subjects, brings together dozens of bare bodies from the gallery's collection. Featuring artworks spanning the generations and their media, it displays languid academic nudes and the fragmented bodies of recent art. Along the way, the exhibition charts the growing tension between the nude and the naked - between works of art that idealise the body and those that try to tell it like it is.

For adventurous Kiwis considering a trip across the ditch, The National Gallery of Victoria in Australia is running a major exhibition featuring three Australian photographers. Long Distance Vision displays 60 works from the NGV collection exploring the concept of the 'tourist gaze', featuring work from Max Pam, Christine Godden and Matthew Sleeth - seasoned travelers all. "What is noteable in the photographs in Long Distance Vision is that rather than focusing on the well-known scenes that each artist encountered, they have turned their attention to the 'little things', the details of the everyday", Susan van Wyk, Curator Photography, NGV. Long Distance Vision opens August 28, 2009 and runs until February 21, 2010, so there's plenty of time to catch the show if you were plotting a visit to the West Island.

Time: 6:00 pm
Although Christchurch Art Gallery is currently undergoing refurbishment, its doors are set to open later this year, with hundreds of works going on show to the public for the first time in six-and-a-half years. Meanwhile, a bevy of exhibitions are going up, including the touring program by photographic artist, Neil Pardington. The Vault is a major project for Pardington, who worked behind-the-scenes in museums and galleries across the country with his large format camera. The results include the forty large-scale framed photographs on display at Christchurch, which reveal the hidden collection storage spaces normally closed to the public. For Pardington the works signify the 'collected culture and history of those things we deem important enough to keep, and what those things tell us about ourselves'. The gallery explains that 'this exhibition represents a significant recent body of work by a leading contemporary photographer'. Christchurch Art Gallery

In the works chosen for the exhibition, called I See You There, Devitt uses his eye for detail to explore spaces. An Auckland-based photographer, Devitt has received a number of awards, seen his work published in architecture books internationally and been included in prestigious exhibitions, such as 'New Zealand's Best Photographers' in 2000. For his new show at the Wanganui gallery, Devitt explains his challenge is not to capture the 'real' aspect of an architectural space but to represent what it feels like to be there. "I always spend time being still in the environment I am charged with photographing", said Devitt, "I listen as much as I watch. I wait to hear its breath. This is how I find what is really in the space". I See You There runs from February 5-26, 2010 at McNamara Gallery, 190 Wickstead Street, Wanganui.

The Naked and the Nude
This summer the Christchurch Art Gallery is getting its kit off, unveiling both its new renovations and an exhibition on the unclothed human figure. The Naked and the Nude, focusing on one of art's oldest and most enduringly controversial subjects, brings together dozens of bare bodies from the gallery's collection. Featuring artworks spanning the generations and their media, it displays languid academic nudes and the fragmented bodies of recent art. Along the way, the exhibition charts the growing tension between the nude and the naked - between works of art that idealise the body and those that try to tell it like it is.

Time: 6:00 pm
Although Christchurch Art Gallery is currently undergoing refurbishment, its doors are set to open later this year, with hundreds of works going on show to the public for the first time in six-and-a-half years. Meanwhile, a bevy of exhibitions are going up, including the touring program by photographic artist, Neil Pardington. The Vault is a major project for Pardington, who worked behind-the-scenes in museums and galleries across the country with his large format camera. The results include the forty large-scale framed photographs on display at Christchurch, which reveal the hidden collection storage spaces normally closed to the public. For Pardington the works signify the 'collected culture and history of those things we deem important enough to keep, and what those things tell us about ourselves'. The gallery explains that 'this exhibition represents a significant recent body of work by a leading contemporary photographer'. Christchurch Art Gallery
