Monday, August 22, 2011. Yesterday it was 100 years since Louvre handyman Vincenzo Peruggia nicked the Mona Lisa. For his troubles he was imprisoned for seven months.

Wednesday, August 12, 2015. News from the flaming rock. Although for some reason could not get the Auckland Art Gallery he once so tightly controlled to take the exhibition (word is the Auckland Art Gallery is working towards a smaller project exhibition). And Saines still has New Zealand in his sights. QAG's Foundation was tasked with finding $A150,000 for Lisa Reihana’s four-channel video In Pursuit of Venus [infected]. Posted by jim and Mary.

Blogs from staff and friends of Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. Friday, 10 April 2015. Robert Ellis and Billy Apple. Robert Ellis visited the Gallery this week to view Billy Apple's exhibition The Artist Has To Live Like Everybody Else. For the first time. I had earlier gone on a tour of the show with Billy where he told me about the genesis of many of the artworks. The public enjoyed meeting him as we were walking through. During the last year we hosted Robert Ellis' Turangawaewae. Subscribe to: Post...

http://overthenet.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-your-marksget-set.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. On your marks.get set. International curators can now be part of the team. The biggest difference is eligibility. The set of eligibility clauses outlined in the 2015 Venice document have been dropped completely. This time round international curators will be considered along with curators who are New Zealand citizens or permanent residents of New Zealand. Foreign artists a possibility? Look at these two confusing 'and/or' phrases. Yes, the Commissioner has been elevated and centr...

over the net: Male call
http://overthenet.blogspot.com/2015/08/male-call.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Some of us wanted a piece of the pie, and some of us wanted to blow the whole pie up.'. To honour the Guerrilla Girls' work a new group called Pussy Galore. Has checked out the male/female ratios for the current dealer gallery rosters in NY. You can see it here. Pussy Galore uses the GG’s 1986 list as its baseline. We've done a similar count in the past for NZ ( 2012. And now six months later in the spirit of the GGs, let's see how it looks (a bit better you have to say). Over th...

over the net: Now See Here!
http://overthenet.blogspot.com/2015/08/now-see-here.html
Friday, August 07, 2015. In the City Gallery’s current exhibition Demented Architecture. There's a felt tip pen rough of an advertising campaign Saatchi and Saatchi developed for the Brodsky and Utkin exhibition. Nice to see it has survived as stuff like this is very rare as we discovered when we were researching exhibition files a while back. When art museums get advertising agencies to create their campaigns, anything can happen. Posted by jim and Mary. This will take you to the link for the website ot...

over the net: Art in the movies
http://overthenet.blogspot.com/2015/08/art-in-movies.html
Tuesday, August 04, 2015. Art in the movies. Breaks movie conventions by using a replica Pollock instead of the familiar Rothko-like products we've been seeing as modern art stand-ins recently. The Pollock plays a central role in the film helping the lead character launch into a strange and, given Pollock's highly developed technique, meaningless monologue on what Pollock would have done had he known where his dripped paint would land. The theory being, nothing. The Ex Machina. Landscaped in Ex Machina.

http://overthenet.blogspot.com/2015/08/whats-in-store-for-whats-in-store.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. What’s in store for what’s in store? Is founded on the idea of an open warehouse and now in Los Angeles the soon to be opened Broad Museum is making the storage areas and what goes on there viewable to the public. This 'peek behind the institutional curtain' isn't just selective storage - that's been tried often enough - but an attempt to expand the museum experience beyond curatorial packages. You can read more about the Broad idea here in the LA Times. Posted by jim and Mary.
