Tom Kreisler at Govett-Brewster

with head full of NP fly down for weekend in New Plymouth for opening of Tom Kreisler [1938-2002 but still with us as several people remarked] in show that filled nearly every space - barring the Len Lye part - Govett-Brewster Art Gallery - & the sunday panel discussion packed to the rafters with local folk & crowds that drove & flew in from all over NZ - so much conversation & Saturday night partying squeezed time for concentrated attention - side-trip to Grant Kerrr's house to se his collection of NZ photos & sandalwood chess-tab;le from 1962 Chess Olympiad in Cuba once belonged to Ortvin Sarapu - opening of standard international hotel breakfast rubber scrambled egg & other steamed things dying of exhaustion didnt put me off giant show organised by Aaron Kreisler - vitrines full of notebooks drawings small works spontaneous notations drawings/texts then enlarged coloured on nice big canvases that try to remain at least look like spontaneous notations loose lines made of black strokes that fade out as brush runs out of paint lakes of shimmering pale stain dye acrylic colour like Chinese landscapes wit humour sadness 'AT THE END OF THE DAY/THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY...' & Wystan Curnow's favourite Tom's last painting skeleton with large brush/broom held aloft title inscribed 'a brush with death' - drawing as essential for Tom as for NP but what if NP had taken Tom's next step & blew the drawings up line for line how fine that wd have been tho not what happened as paint of picture intricates... for Tom's work see http://www.tomkreisler.com

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Superb blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I'd really love to be a part of group where I can get responses from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Kudos!

Does your website have a contact page? I'm having a tough time locating it but, I'd like to shoot you an e-mail. I've got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
