Exposed.

The last of the scaffolding comes down, the extension is blessed, a maze of
cracks are discovered, and whining about contemporary art becomes so
last year. Or so last Long Term Plan, to be more accurate. It's all go.

Best exotic.

The northern tip is exposed, as is that of the iceberg.

Leading contemporary art.

Back in the day, one of the gallery's marketing slogans was 'leading
contemporary art.' This morning two lead - as opposed to
manage, it should be noted - positions have been advertised:
Business Development Lead
Exhibitions and Collections Lead
Go.

Turning a corner.

The unwrapping turns the corner, as does the gallery brand that could be
seen as a nod not only to Len Lye, but to Paul Hartigan's Pathfinder that
once graced the façade of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery..

Brand new.

Building progress will be eclipsed when the brand is launched tomorrow.
Breath is baited.

Context.

All art requires context.

The wait.

The local stone.



In certain lights the stainless façade almost looks like camouflage, perhaps
a strategic response to many Letters to the Editor correspondents.
