My Flat Your Flat Our Place presents a selection of photographs of named student flats in the North Dunedin area, taken over the last ten years. The exhibition highlights this ephemeral and unique aspect of print culture in Dunedin. It also makes a connection between the naming of flats by students as an expression of identity, and the creation of a sense of place.

Visit the exhibtion: 10-14 August, The Link (between the Union building and Library on Cumberland St opp. the Museum), University of Otago.

Exhibition update

flatnames — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:13:00 +0000

I’ve got the label text sorted and the first block panel of text. I’m feeling good about it. Quietly confident.

There’s still a few things to stitch up like signage and processing of the photos. The mounting of the photos has been sponsored by Lin Klenner Gilder, for which I am very grateful.

The exhibition is part of OUSA Art Week, 10-14 August in the Link (between the Union and library buildings), at University of Otago.
