ChristChurch Cathedral 29th Sept-8th October.

COCA Gallery14-30th October

Works to be auctioned, 5.30pm 30th October (view works here)

As a symbol that can be traced through history and cultures over the past 4,000 years with associations that are both sacred and secular, the cross remains both a powerful and complex religious emblem open to multiple, open-ended reading and interpretation, as well as a familiar symbol of salvation and hope in Western and Eastern cultures. The exhibition encompasses works by 30 leading and up and coming New Zealand artists, including Don Binney, Dick Frizzell, Gavin Bishop, Philip Trusttum, Tony de Lautour, and Margaret Hudson-Ware.
