Simon Starling review in this week's New Zealand Listener

My review of Simon Starling's exhibition "In Speculum" at the Wellington City Gallery appears in this week's issue of the New Zealand Listener. Above is a picture of the Turner Prize-winning artist at the opening. Was able to meet him when he conducted some seminar-style discussions with Massey's incoming MFA cohort. Very charming and unflappable fellow given all the demands on his time during his visit to New Zealand. (Unfortunately full text of review not online unless you are a subscriber, but if you are based locally maybe check out dairies, supermarkets, newsstands, indian takeaways, doctor's offices, and other sorts of waiting rooms and peruse freely....) I will however be posting some selected examples of my Listener texts in the reviews section in the near future.
