Canary Gallery Annual 2007

This second annual publication by Canary Gallery celebrates the momentum of activity Canary inspired and continues to motivate in its immediate Auckland environs and beyond.

Writing featured in the Annual is not restricted to the chronology of shows at Canary, or indeed the artists and works that showed there. Rather the Annual '07 expands outwards from the gallery and its limitations - financial, social, spatial and geographical.

Canary Annual 07 acknowledges that the Gallery operated as a "self-funded, artist run exhibition space". But equally invests in what continues to emerge via a momentum of activity inspired by Canary Gallery.
