The following is fascinating article about this show, titled 'What's Wrong With a Tacky Tiki' (place in your browser address window) http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3303321a1861,00.html Dick Frizzell, one of the artists interviewed in the above article, did a neat piece titled 'From Mickey to Tiki Tu Meke' that transforms the face of Mickey Mouse into a tiki face. That image can be found as a thumbnail near the bottom of the Museum's Print shop http://www.christchurchartgallery.org.nz/Shop/Prints/ I hope at least a few of us can make it to this show.
