I noticed a new exhibition on at DPAG of interest (to me) Russian Art in New Zealand.
The exhibition includes works by Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, a cluster of major works by Natalia Goncharova and the largest collection of Russian Ikons ever shown in New Zealand
Artist unknown Icon. Deesis Triptych late 18thC. (centre panel) tempera on gesso on limewood, Collection Dunedin Public Art Gallery
Its interesting as a comparison or perhaps juxtaposition to the I Was Russia exhibit and I will report back on both properly at some future point.

Lovely, I hope it makes it up here. Do check out the Ey! Iran exhibit listed on that page, too, it’s very interesting and moves away from the customary, Iranian neo-realism angle.
Te Papa is preparing to launch an exhibition on Formula One cars. Doesn’t that make you jealous?

I did see Ey! Iran – was it at Pataka previously because I think I saw at least some of the images there. Wonderful stuff

Yes, it was at Pataka. Pataka rocks.

I loved the place too – and it had an excellent cafe :-)
