Exhibition, or test?
An honours student from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Art, Harry Barnett, is showing an exhibition of ready-made objects in the Stewart Mair Gallery of the Canterbury Society of Arts.
The work includes shoe insoles—sizes one to nine—placed under a sheet of glass; sheets of glass, marked "fragile,” hanging by mirror chains; and three lecture-stands, with two photographs of lecturestands placed side by side on top. Also exhibited are six small windows, one marked
with the word “exit”; five pieces of card on five concrete blocks; a rack with 14 “deviation” signs hung from it; and sundry other exhibits, including an arrangement of pieces of dowling fitted into metal sockets. As with most exhibitions of this nature, the viewer quickly becomes aware that he is being confronted with himself, something not everybody likes or is even prepared for. Tile exhibition, which is displayed with a clinical austerity, will close at the end of the month. —G.T.M.
