Central city shopkeepers in focus at Our City
Open All Hours, an exhibition by Christchurch photographer Garry Bull, goes on display next Monday, 29 May at Our City O-Tautahi, the Council�fs community exhibition space on the corner of Oxford Terrace and Worcester Boulevard.
Mr Bull has captured an eclectic mix of Christchurch�fs central city shops -- from the chic and eccentric to the bizarre and kinky. Owners are depicted centre-stage with their shop�fs wares.
�gThe collection of photographs is a celebration of creativity within the central city,�h Mr Bull says.
He spent the last 18 months photographing in the central city and felt it was important to record these stores and their owners as a historical document so future generations can see the unique nature of Christchurch�fs central city shops.
�œ Open All Hours runs until 24 June. Admission to Our City O-Tautahi is free. It is open 10am-4pm, Monday to Saturday.
