Latest Len Lye /Govett Brewster Art Gallery layman's report.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

This happened not too long before virus thing got into gear. With the country on the verge of getting going again (hopefully once we get to Level 2 in 3 weeks time) I thought it appropriate to post my report. This is the 7th time I have visited LLC/GBAG since LLC opened. I was also keen to see the latest much heralded display. Presented my Pukeariki Library card for free entry. There were a couple of wooden pieces of furniture in main hall and two small Len Lye sculptures. One was being demonstrated at time with a staff member and one member of public present. Very noisy but no ear muffs on offer so I quickly passed. Around first corner there was a substantial LL sculpture but it was under repair. Around the next corner were some more furniture and other interesting sculptures and a few art pieces. Once I got to GBAG there were many fine works to view but not a single description or caption. A missed opportunity I thought as I could have spent several hours and probably several visits to fully appreciate. I understandably took less than an hour. On the way out I spoke to the chap on the front desk and asked about the lack of captions/descriptions. He stated idea was to encourage people to think more about works. Sorry but that did not work for me. It was still worth the visit but captions/descriptions please.
