Animal takes over small gallery

A Mammoth has taken over the running of a small gallery in Auckland. Mobile Gallery Unit staff were last seen laying out hay on the floor of the gallery. A gallery assistant was overheard saying 'I knew something like this was going to happen'.

Sweet Content

ART thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers?
O sweet content!
Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex'd?
O punishment!
Dost thou laugh to see how fools are vex'd
To add to golden numbers golden numbers?
O sweet content! O sweet, O sweet content!
Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;
Then hey nonny nonny—hey nonny nonny!

From 'Sweet Content' , by the Elizabethan poet Thomas Dekker.

Lights. Camera. Christmas.

MGU continues it's community entertainment program with a few fairy lights. Enjoy!

NASA not impressed

Relationships with NASA strained this morning as argument raged over the usability of cardboard, tape and string in space.
MGU is relying on the testimony of a three year old boy from Germany, who made the shuttle the other day in his bedroom.
Initial claims that he had also discovered alien life were dismissed when this turned out to be his little sister.

Down Stream

In the quest for more mobility, MGU has designed and crafted its very own raft. Due soon to carry the hopes of art downstream.

"Dabbling with Reality"

In a new relationship with partnership organisation NASA, MGU is pleased to present its first endeavour into Virtual Reality. The caravan interior has undergone what can only be described as major re-fit, and pilot training will commence in the caravan this week!

A Slave Caravan

"Nor was there a sound, nor a voice, or a cry, or the faintest murmur in The Desert, save the heavy dull tramp of our caravan: all else was the silence of death!"
Robinson, James. Travels in the Great Desert of Sahara Page 70. M.D.CCC.XLVIII.

Mobilis Galleria Unitensii

Knee deep in volcanic ash, Anthropologist Ms Laycock discovered the tracks of MGU.
"Mobilis Galleria Unitensii was here!" she exclaimed.

MGU meets MPU

Distant relatives meet.
A moment of recognition.
Future together unclear.

Caravan left behind, maybe next time says NASA.

Months of negotiating ended today as the rocket left Earth without MGU attached by towbar.
"Nevermind", said one gallery assistant to the other.

Curators find 'gold'

Curators stormed a caravan park in search of contemporary art. They did not leave empty handed!

Ladies Out For Winter

Eating apples and Sunday get-aways were part of our summer routine. The winter came. We were ruthlessly interrupted, forced into hibernation. But the grizzly bears are stirring once more!

Small Sculpture Gets Art Historians Going

Art Historians were quickly called to the scene as a small sculpture was found stuck to the outside window of the gallery. The historians muttered for some time before announcing that it was a critique of what Freud called the 'Oral' phase. The implications, they said, would be very hard to swallow.

Gallery Chalks Up Chalk

MGU was re-discovered this morning by a vigilant parking warden wielding chalk. Gallery Assistants are still decoding her message. Some have called the chalky scrawl an art review. Others are determined it is a work of art. The parking warden would not comment on either accusation, and advised the assistants to move MGU within seven days, AND get a current WOF.

Poof!

A prominent physicist visited MGU last week. The professor conducted an experiment whereby the gallery disappeared into a puff of smoke. Poof!

Naked Lady Eats Apples

To celebrate Easter MGU invited a dear friend to perform in the nude. The uninhibited lady lay on the mattress provided, nonchalantly ate the apples, and threw the cores out the window. Magnificient!

Sea Captain comes to rescue

MGU made a new friend today. Upon docking at its home destination the gallery assistants were greeted by the Sea Captain. Friendship blossomed.

Hooligans vandalise gallery

Gallery assistants' premonitions came true this morning. Gallery walls were crudely tainted. Offenders, come forward!

Angry onlooker breaks glass

Conflicting reports were received this morning about MGU's broken window. One witness claims to have seen a well dressed man in his early fifties tiptoe up shortland street and hurl a ginger beer bottle through the window of the gallery.
