It presents the artist’s beautiful conjunction of text and image, while citations from the artist’s readings contextualise photographs in the transformational complexity of place. The foreword and essays argue for ‘sculpture as proximity’ and ‘being attentive to other kinds of closeness’ (Abby Cunnane, p. 9 and 10). Clegg’s impetus to ‘document(s) understated, incidental spaces’ (Robyn Maree Pickens p. 13); and propose a series of scholarly and philosophical contexts for the art works (Wystan Curnow) are also discussed. The production is sustainably made and values of local production are evident. Each written contribution beautifully orders the publication and enhanced comprehension of ‘loca projects\/correction’ with careful attention to use of Clegg’s text including strikethroughs, underscores and vertex marks. -  Judges: Marion Crawford and Sarah Pirrie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublication Editors: David Clegg and Tendai John Mutumbu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication Design: Amy Yalland, Index\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted: Index, Soar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 978-0-908848-97-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e64 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© 2018 Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, the artists, writers and contributors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Govett-Brewster Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45300362314021,"sku":"l2130","price":20.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/6832\/3877\/files\/LocaProjects-Correction1.jpg?v=1687386411"},{"product_id":"ann-shelton-a-kind-of-sleep","title":"Ann Shelton: A Kind of Sleep","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe exhibition and subsequent publication,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Kind of Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, is the outcome of Ann Shelton's 2004 residency as a participant in the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery Artist in Residency programme; a long-standing partnership between the Govett-Brewster and the Western Institute of Technology in Taranaki.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, 2005\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003ePages: 35\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 180 x 180 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 0-908848-01-3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Govett-Brewster Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45300523335973,"sku":"l389","price":15.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/6832\/3877\/files\/AnnShelton1.jpg?v=1687385649"},{"product_id":"all-lines-converge-some-lines-through-the-archive","title":"All Lines Converge Some Lines Through the Archive","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished on the occasion of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/govettbrewster.com\/exhibitions\/2016\/all-lines-converge\" title=\"All lines converge exhibition\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll Lines Converge\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexhibition (17 Dec 2016 - 20 Mar 2017) at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccompanying the exhibition, this artist-designed publication presents new commissions as well as little-seen historical documentation of the Govett-Brewster's exhibition history.

Len Lye (1901-1980) was a gifted innovator in many areas - film, painting, sculpture, photography and writing. Not only his constant flow of new ideas but his exuberance, his unique taste in clothes, his quirky turn of phrase, and his free-wheeling personal life made him a legendary figure - a 'crazy, excited and exciting guy' (as a fellow artist once described him).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating biography is the result of more than 20 years of research by Roger Horrocks, who once worked as Lye's assistant. Written in a clear, accessible style, it will appeal not only to those interested in the arts but to any general reader interested in the life of a unique personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA thorough, cleanly crafted account of the life and career of a remarkably full-blooded artist. - Eldred Wisdom, \u003cem\u003eSydney Morning\u003c\/em\u003e Herald.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA Fascinating, accessible biography for the general reader as well as academics and fine art buffs. - Chris Bourke, \u003cem\u003eNorth \u0026amp; South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ePerfectly attuned to Len Lye and his work, Horrocks' biography of the kinetic sculptor\/film-maker\/all-purpose genious is beguilling, animated and inspiring.

As early as 1967 Driver's sculpture \u003cem\u003eThe Magician \u003c\/em\u003earoused a flurry of protest in the local media while on display in New Plymouth library, and the \"nude\" work was eventually removed by Govett-Brewster Art Gallery director John Maynard \"to save a serious artist the humiliating experience of having to remove his own work from a public place.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays in this publication collectively widen the boundaries of understanding about the influences which have shaped the work of this prolific artist, including Hindu statuary, the art of Pablo Picasso, African tribal sculptures, and his travels in America and India. The many colour photographs present the startling variety of Driver's output in a way which has not previously been attempted.
