Kiosk, a travelling archive of independent contemporary art publications, has opened at Christchurch's The Physics Room after spending five weeks at Artspace in Auckland. Organised and compiled by Kristoph Keller, founder of Munich publishing project Revolver, the exhibition contains more than 4000 publications from around the world. Having previously travelled throughout Europe, the collection should be making its way across North America later this year. As an extension of the exhibition, The Physics Room will be hosting a discussion on local publishing on Saturday, May 13, at 3pm. Speaking will be Christchurch independent publishers Hamish Win, Lee Cunliffe, Rob Hood and Aaron Beehre.

Just opened at Wellington's Enjoy is P.R.I.E.S.T an exhibtion by Julien Dyne and Hamish Palmer dealing with the ever-proliferating spectacle of the art biennale. The artists say the audience will be herded like an animal but empowered like a consumer. The exhibtion runs until May 19.
