Thanks to Louise, everyone who attended, Shaun for taking the pics, the speakers and the sponsors for another cool night at Design Assembly. See all the pics here. Don’t be a stranger over summer, keep the conversations going by visiting Design Assembly and commenting on the blog posts. See you at the March event.
Grab a fresh piece of art for your wall this Thursday (tomorrow) at Conch Records on Ponsonby road, Auckland (Doors open at 6pm). Componentry 3 is an exhibition of works by Component. We have one here, check it below, please excuse the hyperactive staff/component fan in the foreground.
Component is a well-known and respected self taught street artist, DJ and radio station manager (to name a few of his skills). A Grey Lynn resident since ages ago and showing you all how its done.
So now you know… go score an original.
Get growing this summer, its easier than 1, 2… 3 kg’s of parsley in an Ooid Bag. Find tips and join the conversation at local food enthusiasts.
Last week we told you about the 9D exhibition. This is a mixed video from Andy Bamford who was one of the students exhibiting. Wish I could do this.

European markets are a great place to find goodies like this pack of skate cards. A Friend discovered these in Germany. Bring back game cards… especially pre-2000 skateboarding ones, and mustard yellow t-shirts.
We look forward to trying some of these moves this summer… after a few beers of course!
This is getting good reviews. Go see it. Trailer below. Check your paper for showing times in your town.
A new New Zealand jewellery designer is about to hit the scene. Emma Louisa is about to release her first range or vintage style jewellery. The first range is inspired by grandfather clock hands. They are amazing to say the least. They will be available to buy here soon so make sure you check them out for real at the launch next week at Cross Street Studios.
We are lucky enough to have one of Rob Tuckers first works from his ” My Trip Through Belmont Show” in 2007 hanging on the wall. This 21 year old artist from Auckland is proving to be one of NZ’s next big names. No stencils, no digital artwork, just good old paint and board.
So all you lucky Wellingtonians get on down to Smyth Gallery and soak up some fresh kiwi art. Its Rob’s first Wellington exhibition.
