Among the artists and designers who to took the opportunity to present their 20 slides and speak to them for no more than 20 seconds an image, was Paolo Cuccaagna, visiting Italian motorcycle designer from Honda.
Paolo dwells on his admiration for designer Mistuyoshi Kohama, master of the now disappearing cult of futurist motorcycle design. Paolo suggested that today's bikes are not in search of futurist fantasy but are turning back to the throbbing visibly mechanical machines of the 1950s.
Gallery curator Ron Brownson shares his secret obsession - secret no longer, Ron! - as a collector of Rugby memorabilia - particularly Rugby photographs from three centuries. Group portraits spoke volumes of evolution from once gentlemanly sport to galdiatorial combat. One antique solo portrait of a reclining Maori player hinted at the influences of Titian and Manet.
