Easier - Tao Wells - Publication Launch - Dunedin

The Director of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Simon Rees, is pleased to invite you to the launch of our latest artist’s publication Tao Wells: EASIER.

Wednesday 28 March, 6.00pm
Blue Oyster Art Project Space
16 Dowling Street
DUNEDIN
Free to attend, all welcome.

EASIER records Tao Wells' adventures in the art world from the late-1980s until today with critical and black humorous effect. It includes new writing by author, critic, and filmmaker Chris Kraus (whose book I Love Dick [1997] has been made into a cult hit television series). And is designed by Carla Schollum of White Fungus renown.

EASIER publication is produced as an extension of the Govett-Brewster’s long-standing commitment to the extended family of artists who hail from Taranaki – of which Tao Wells is a member. Join us for drinks and nibbles in celebration of these ties.

Thanks to Govett-Brewster Art Gallery partner Villa Maria Estate for their hospitality support and to Blue Oyster Art Project Space for hosting the event.

Publications will be available at the event (cash only), at the Govett-Brewster Shop or at www.govettbrewster.com/shop for $12.00.

Bryan Ferry - Boys And Girls - Video







"Boys And Girls"


I'm a stranger in your town
That's the place I belong
Laid behind the frame
And the curtain's torn again
A wailing saxophone
And you know it's all in my song
All the sin that I can take
But you don't even know my name
boys and girls
boys and girls 
boys and girls

You've got no sense of fun
But you know I've one
All the good has turned to bad
All you know what I think of that
No time to dream
No time to sigh
No time to kill
When love walks by
And who's that crying in the street
Death is the friend I've yet to meet 
boys and girls
boys and girls
boys and girls
