Fly­ing Nun artist Grayson Gilmour

City Gallery is cur­rent­ly exhibit­ing Round­about, a major col­lec­tion of bold, bright and wicked-as works from emerg­ing artists from around the world. It’s well worth a vis­it.

Part of Round­about is 48,000 Rev­o­lu­tions, a piece by Fly­ing Nun founder Roger Shep­herd. He’s select­ed 24 hours worth of songs, which ran­dom­ly play. There is also — and this is the most impor­tant details — a couch on which you can plonk your weary arse and just enjoy his excel­lent taste in music.

Relat­ed to this the Open City event at the gallery of Thurs­day night (14 Octo­ber). The gallery sez:

Art after dark takes a Fly­ing Nun twist with pre­sen­ta­tions and per­for­mance at City Gallery. Begin­ning with icon­ic Fly­ing Nun founder Roger Shep­herd in con­ver­sa­tion with Mark Williams, the evening also includes a pre­sen­ta­tion by Jed Town of Fetus Pro­duc­tions, fol­lowed by a per­for­mance from recent Fly­ing Nun sign­ing, Grayson Gilmour. With the gal­leries open and pre­sen­ters from 6pm, set­tle in for the evening – there’s even a cash bar from Nikau.

$5 entry, free for City Gallery Friends.

Sounds bloody excel­lent, yeah. If you like art and music, you should go.
