  • Beyond the Lens the Marti & Gerrard Friedlander Collection
    BEYOND THE LENS THE MARTI & GERRARD FRIEDLANDER COLLECTION Marti Friedlander’s contribution to the development of contemporary New Zealand art has been quite simply outstanding and it is with great honour that we bring you this catalogue, Beyond the Lens - The Marti and Gerrard Friedlander Collection. Celebrated and respected for her photography, but also for her generosity, in later life Marti became known to many of us through the causes that she and Gerrard supported with great passion. Breast cancer, issues of Māoridom and helping young people – all these were causes close to their hearts. Marti was an unforgettable character to those that knew her. Curious and direct, with a distinctive gravelly voice and an accent that gave away her Northern Hemisphere start in life. I was most interested to read Kathlene Fogarty’s account of Driving with Marti, mainly as I had previously assumed that Marti didn’t drive. Having lived and worked in Parnell for years, she was a most familiar figure to locals; striding purposefully up Brighton Road and determinedly around the village, frequently pausing to chat and always stopping for coffee. Known for her strong personality and love of people, Marti’s curiosity for the strange new land she came to with husband Gerrard in 1958 was borne out in the photographs she took. Over the next fifty years she famously photographed not only the landscape but it’s people – both the ordinary and the extraordinary - in a time well before the notion of celebrity existed. Her visual record of our country in a time of change and maturation is invaluable.

  • Imagination Is the Creative Use of Reality ~ Margaret Mahy
    ISSN 11750189: Volume 11: Issue 2: August 2012. Imagination is the creative use of reality ~ Margaret Mahy. When Storylines put the call out for tributes to Margaret Mahy, they came in thick and fast - long and short - from all walks of life. From close friends, colleagues, and fans. From people who had worked closely with Margaret, those who had met her once - or a few times - and from those who never met her. But, all of us have been blessed by Margaret's life and work. And, all of us were grateful to share our thoughts. We thank you all. We are sorry that we couldn't share ALL the photos... there were so many! Herewith - with little editing - are the words of Margaret's friends and fans... Margaret Mahy is my role model. She inspired me to start writing stories and I haven’t stopped since. She opened the gateway to my passion when I met her properly for the first time at a Storylines Festival. I was nervous when I waited in the (very long) queue for her autograph, I was speechless and I didn’t know what to say. But soon my nervousness went away when we started talking, she was warm and friendly and she drew a picture of one of her characters next to her eloquent signature. It was one of the greatest opportunities in my life meeting Margaret Mahy. My admiration for Margaret Mahy formed when I was six. She came to our school wearing a funky, rainbow-coloured wig; she performed a hilarious puppet show that I can still remember.

    Photography Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} David Batchelder Alfred & Me Christiane Stahl Summary David Batchelder’s images are labyrinths of wondrous forms, surprising colors, and shifting layers. They give us the impression of flying over landscape formations, snowy mountain ranges, meandering rivers; or, alternatively, we seem to be in the midst of choppy seascapes, where unfamiliar creatures are rising up out of the blue-green depths. However, the photographs depict nothing more than banal segments of a beach in Charleston, South Carolina. The abstract quality of these natural motifs bring out hidden ideas. Suddenly we Michael Imhof Verlag see faces, ghosts, animals, and plants.

  • 2013 CATALOGUE from Devil’S Henchmen and Newspaper Boys to Friendly Fire and the Howling Wilderness: Turn the Page on Another Year
    AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY PRESS — 2013 CATALOGUE From devil’s henchmen and newspaper boys to friendly fire and the howling wilderness: turn the page on another year. Summer 2013 HOME IN THE HOWLING WILDERNESS: SETTLERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN SOUTHERN NEW ZEALAND Peter Holland During the nineteenth century European settlers transformed the environment of New Zealand’s South Island. They diverted streams and drained marshes, burned native vegetation and planted hedges, stocked farms with sheep and poured on fertiliser. In Home in the Howling Wilderness Peter Holland undertakes a deep history of that settlement to answer key questions about New Zealand’s ecological transformation. In its depth and breadth of research, its stories of rabbiters and ryegrass, Home in the Howling Wilderness is a major new account of Pākehā and the land in New Zealand. Peter Holland is professor emeritus of geography at the University of Otago. In 2008, Holland won the New Zealand Geographical Society’s Distinguished New Zealand Geographer Gold Medal, New Zealand’s highest honour for a geographer. February 2013, 230 x 165 mm, 256 pages, illustrations Paperback, 978 1 86940 739 1, $49.99 4/5 Summer 2013 THE YELLOW BUOY: POEMS 2007–2012 C K Stead C K Stead has always swum through literature, cultures, surroundings – both physical and social – with a deft stroke. Completed in his eightieth year, The Yellow Buoy sees the poet firmly attached to his memories, attuned to his craft and attentive to his world. In sonnets and syllabics, with settings ranging from Croatia and Colombia to Karekare and the Côte d’Azur, these poems urge the reader to stay alert, to pay attention to ‘the poetic moment / so easily missed, / so quickly lost’.
