"Barnaby visits Aotearoa [from Australia] for the first time this June, and will perform at Photospace Gallery.
Support for this show comes from Spirit Holler, a new free saxophone and electric guitar duo, featuring Zak Argabrite and Zac Winterwood.
Also performing with the bands is Carterton based artist Rosalie Jurczenko, who will (in a sense) "perform" the creation of her abstract art by way of live painting. A process which establishes a connection between her and the artists: listening, watching, and responding to one another, with each of the mediums dependent on the other for its creation."⁣

Full spiel in comments.

Now Voyager magazine, Issue no.1, has just come out. It may not be available retail here (published in NYC, printed in UK) so here is the story by Sean Williams, featuring photographs by Andrew Ross. The 4-page fold-out panorama is just stunning. Image reproduction & design is top notch. Very proud of Andrew's contribution to this publication.
