It's a great fireplace. But the couch is better :) Best thing at Te Papa. YMMV.

visions…
On an LSD HDTV screen?
nah, with a rat named Ralph, in a bedroom,
of a rambling flat in Kilmore Street…

Phil was living in Peterborough St at the time,
he used to pay for all sorts of things
with paintings and drawings…

I used to visit a friend…

one of New Zealand's "ingenious people"...
Ha! Thanks, I missed that. I did notice that Juxtapoz has him as "Tame Ito", and that he's had "legal issues with the law".

Meanwhile, in Henderson, under the radar of the creative sterility police.

It's great that in the link you've given, Tame Iti is described as one of New Zealand's "ingenious people"...

There's a very fine artist who often paints on the side of the water tower at the Big King dog park. Eventually, though, the Council comes along and destroys it. I would love to know who the artist is – his work is stunningly good.

Is it just the dead who feature in this worthy series, or do the living get a look-in too? I’d love to see a John Pule wall, or a giant Westra.

Why not? The main thing at the moment, I think, is to create some momentum.

Respect to all of them.

Askew, who too often works for little more than the cost of materials
Respect. And also for this.

Wonderful idea and brilliant execution so far. Hoping the series can also include works from Maori, Pasifika and other artistic traditions of this place.

And also encompass the greater city. I quite like the idea of it staying privately-funded. Declining to answer to the public art committee ain't a bad…

A wall with reproduced works say Phillip Claremont's "I Hear My Tain A Comin – Room Full of Mirrors" – would be great.
