In/Visible Landscapes – a suite of works from The Glass Archive – is part of SCAPE Public Art, Christchurch, 7 October-18 November 2017. The work includes a series of billboards in Hagley Park, and banner works and prints at Canterbury Museum.

Wayne will give an artist’s talk on The Glass Archive at 11am, Sunday 12 November, the Bird Hall, Canterbury Museum – further background available here.

Work will be included in two new group exhibitions opening later this month: Where the River Bends at the Ilam Campus Gallery, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, 15 August to 7 September; and Interior Worlds at the Sarjeant Gallery, Whanganui, 19 August to 19 November.

A review by David Eggleton of the recent exhibition The Glass Archive, Hocken Gallery (Dunedin), can be found in Art New Zealand, Winter 2017 (no. 162). The project publication was also reviewed by John Hurrell for EyeContact and appears online here. Both provide interesting and informative commentary on this project.

Wayne Barrar’s article, “The Oamaru diatomite: in and out of the archive”, is included in a special issue of the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand (vol. 27, no. 1) marking the Society’s 150th anniversary.

For the next few months, open public access is available at this link.
