Ter­ry Urbahn has spent a lot of time in bars and hotels — just the kind of guy we love here at the Welling­ton­ista.

He has an exhi­bi­tion of select­ed works from 1994–2008 on show at the Film Archive medi­a­gallery until 9 April, with the open­ing tak­ing place tomor­row — Sat­ur­day 14 March at 5pm. This is a bit of a depar­ture for the gallery. A week­end open­ing!

Come along and start your Sat­ur­day night right with a tip­ple and some great art — pho­tog­ra­phy, video work, dio­ra­ma and sculp­ture — by one of Welling­ton’s favourites. Every­one is wel­come to cel­e­brate this launch. 

All of the work was made dur­ing Urbah­n’s time liv­ing in Cap­i­tal City (he cur­rent­ly lives in Syd­ney) but it’s the first time it’s been shown here…

includ­ing the spec­tac­u­lar work The Sacred Hart (pic­tured) which is on dis­play by spe­cial arrange­ment with Auck­land Fes­ti­val.
