City Gallery Event and Exhibitions 25-31 Jan

Below are our event and exhibition listings for next week January 25 – 31. Please note a couple of changes – Gerda Leenards’ exhibition closes this Sunday (last chance if you haven’t seen it yet) and a fabulous exhibition featuring architect Bill Toomath opens in its place on January 29. The Deane Gallery changed out last week and is now featuring a group show called Urban Kainga.

Next week is also our final Free Wednesday, and we’re expecting it to be very busy. If you are planning to mention it, please make sure to note that there will be queues, and that visitors should expect a wait.

Werewolf: Nature’s Boy - On Terence Malik

It’s easy to think of Malick films coming in pairs. In the 1970s: Badlands and Days of Heaven.

Then he studied film-making and got Badlands out just before he was 30. More>>

For anyone trying to write about it, Tom’s Midnight Garden poses a significant problem.
