To puzzle over Cildo Meireles’s exhibition One and Some Chairs/Camouflages is simultaneously dumbfounding and appealing. There’s a new playfulness in his work that makes us ponder the what and why of perception, the way we understand what we see, and how the object depends on how we see it. We expect austerity in this conceptualist’s creations, which are familiarly recognized as elegant and monotone, and often installed with expanses of sand spread across a gallery’s floor made to resemble an indoor desert.

We hope to inspire Kiwis to see more of our beautiful backyard, and give them an easy way to plan and book their trip.
Whether you plan to get active this winter, hibernate or aim for balance with a combination of both, it helps to have a cosy spot to rest your head. Fortunately, Aotearoa is full of them. Lorna Thornber lists her favourites. Winter breaks can be about embracing the cold weather with skiing, snowboarding and brisk walks. Or they can be about hiding from it in a cosy cabin or hotel room with enough food, wine and entertainment on hand to ensure you never have to step outside.
first question, ginger, do you get a discount on this stuff, come on? no. jenna: not even 10% off? $75,000 life-sized genie bottle. where do you come up with these ideas to put in the book? well, that specific one i was watching a story about barbara eden, just came out with her autobiography on her days on i dream of genie and i thought is there what every woman needs a place to go and pout and where no one could get to you? i started thinking how could do you recreate that for someone s fantasy. jenna: the $75,000 price tag, where does that come from? well that comes from the designer who has outfitted the interior of this yert, round tent, that we decorated this way and, so it covers the expenses of making it come true. jenna: we re taking a look at it right now. looks like a comfortable, peaceful spot. i think, jon could agree.
