17 DAYS OF SHOPPING—MARY MACPHERSON
3 November – 3 December 2000
Wellington photographer Mary Macpherson documented the food and groceries purchased over 17 days, focusing on the

An invitation extended to selected Wellington artists working in a variety of mediums to create new work around the
Christmas theme of Surprise.
TRIBUTE TO MURALIST MARZ CUMMINGS
January – February 2001
Wellington artists pay tribute to Marz Cummings, a community muralist who died in 1999, by painting a mural inside the
Hirschfeld Gallery. The public will be able to watch the artists work and then view the finished mural for the remaining
exhibition period. The mural’s life will extend beyond the exhibition as, painted on a false wall, it will be removed
from the gallery intact and displayed elsewhere.
