Paul Brooks is editor of Whanganui Midweek, in your letterbox every Wednesdaypaul.brooks@nzme.co.nz I became someone else the first time I was touched. Trapped in a body that doesn t belong to me. I look upwards, asking for help. My eyes are trying to tell, but no one sees. Tears fall as my innocence is taken. I have lost who I am, and fear who I have become. Catherine Daniels.
Not many art exhibitions come with a warning, but this one does. It will affect you. The Secret Keeper is an exhibition like no other, and it is showing at Whanganui Community Arts Centre from Friday.
NUNN ON THE RUN Sat. May 15, 2021 12:00 AM by Jerry Nunn The Greek artist Yannis Tsarouchis is finally having some well deserved recognition thanks to a new opportunity in Lincoln Park. Housed at Wrightwood 659, there are around 200 works gathered together from private collections on four floors in a modern museum.
Various mediums are featured throughout the space including photography, statues, sketches and many paintings using watercolor, oil and the gouache method, a water and glue mixture of pigments. He designed a theatrical costume for singer Maria Callas and it was treat to see him backstage with her in one photo. Patrons may stroll about taking in the artist s legacy at their leisure after being spaced out over time for safe conditions in the gallery at 659 W. Wrightwood Avenue.
