The exhibition garden by awardwinning Billygoat Landscape Architecture is to focus on gardening for the mind, body and soul and how we can utilise our own backyards to improve these key elements of our wellbeing. The garden will have five key spaces all linked together around a central garden that encompasses a large tree and sensory plants. There will also be floral exhibits, autumnal cuisine by Jonny Schwass, children’s activities and design and entertainment by costume and fabric artist Jenny Gillies. Principal Sponsor: Terra Viva Home & Garden The first New Zealand exhibition by awardwinning British artist John Stezaker, dubbed the “master of slicing and splicing”, opens on Saturday at the Christchurch Art Gallery. AwARD-wINNINg ARtISt’S CoLLAgE tECHNIqUES feature in new exhibition John Stezaker: Lost World brings together about 40 collages dating from 2006 to 2016, as well as five poignant foundobject sculptures – a selection of antique mannequin hands, offering a repertoire of gestures. In addition, the film Crowd presents hundreds of film stills of crowd scenes, each for one frame only, in a bewildering blur. The gallery’s senior curator Lara Strongman says surrealist-influenced Stezaker is resolutely analogue in a digital era. “Far from being a Photoshop fan, Stezaker prefers to make collages the old-fashioned way, working with scalpel and glue, and a steady hand, to slice images and splice them together in new configurations. He works from a vast personal archive of out-of-date images, mostly old film stills, vintage actor headshots and antique postcards. “There’s an implied violence in his cuts, through faces and eyeballs.

In his work, there’s a constant sense of the image as a body subject to trauma.” The Guardian newspaper dubbed Stezaker the “master of slicing and splicing”. He explores a range of collage techniques, placing postcards on headshots to reveal surreal fusions of landscape and features, and grafting faces to create new gender- and genre-blending characters. Known for his distinctive, often deceptively simple collages, Stezaker has been working since the 1970s, but recently gained major recognition for his work. In 2011, he had a retrospective at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, and, in 2012, won the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize, even though he does not take photographs. PUBLISHER Star Media The Christchurch Star Company Ltd PO Box 1467 Christchurch 8140 Stezaker says collage is about stuff that has “lost its immediate relationship with the world” and “involves a yearning for a lost world”. “There is something very odd, even unnerving about cutting through a photograph,” he says. “It sometimes feels like I am cutting though flesh.” Curated by Robert Leonard, Lost World tours to Christchurch Art Gallery from City Gallery Wellington. The accompanying exhibition catalogue features essays by Leonard and art historian Geoffrey Batchen, and an interview with the artist by British art critic David Campany. John Stezaker is represented by The Approach, UK. John Stezaker: Lost World is on display at Christchurch Art Gallery from March 24 to July 22, 2018. Entry is free.

etirement planning 3 These days, most retiring baby boomers can expect to be “in retirement” for at least 20 or 25 years – so it’s not surprising that this is a topic now attracting a lot of interest. Recently, local firm Cambridge Partners joined forces with a world authority on retirement lifestyle planning, Barry LaValley, to produce a New Zealand version of his internationally acclaimed book So you think you’re ready to retire?. Barry’s first visit here last year attracted enormous attention from both the public and national media. He was recently back in Christchurch to run a series of seminars aimed at anyone who is within 10 years of retirement, or who has already retired. These proved so popular that several additional sessions had to be scheduled to meet demand. Forward 50 sat down with Barry to find out a bit more about his thoughts on this ‘third phase’ of life. What makes for a happy retirement – is it just having sufficient funds, or is there more to consider? When we talk with pre-retirees the majority say that they believe the key to happiness is having enough money to enjoy their lives. But happiness has nothing to do with ageing or money, as many studies have shown. When we talk with those already retired, they place more importance on good relationships and good health. Money becomes less important with retirees compared to other aspects of their lives, such as nurturing relationships and engaging in fulfilling activities. Achieving your goals will certainly help you live a happy life. However, happiness itself is not a goal; it is a precondition to living the life that you want. How can people successfully transition from full-time work to retirement – does reducing hours or taking a parttime job help? If it’s possible for you to do this in your area of work then this is a really good idea, not just from a financial point of view but also from an emotional one. Some people find the opportunity in retirement to pass the knowledge gained from many years in their trade or profession onto others as a consultant, trainer or advisor. Others take a more radical path and move into a totally unrelated industry. For instance, I met a man at one of my seminars who had spent several decades as a hardworking professional. Then in retirement he started up his own small winery. Although he was actually working harder than ever before, it didn’t feel like work to him at all because he enjoyed it so much! Ironically, I often encounter people who have started looking for work again a couple of years into their retirement. They have had a great ‘honeymoon period’ travelling, playing golf etc. in those first years, but then reach a point where they are starting to look for something more fulfillilng to incorporate into their days. How important are hobbies and sporting activities to enjoying retirement? PLANNINg foR REtIREmENt - an expert offers some advice These are very important! Time seems to be of the essence when you retire and what you do with that time now becomes a decision that is more yours then in the past, when so many other demands, particularly around work and family, ate into your time. Yet, there is a big difference between “time-filling” activities and “fulfilling” activities. A lot of people enter retirement without ever thinking carefully about how they will spend their time. Others think they will fill their time up with activities they can currently only do occasionally – playing more golf is a good example of this. But if you play golf everyday, sooner or later it’s going to start feeling like a job too! As wth so many things in life, balance is the key. How do you make your investments last, so you enjoy retirement right till the end of life? This is where a quality financal advisor can really play a huge role. An indepndent, fee-only company can sit down with you to find out what sort of retirement you would like, which will help dictate the level of income you need to live on. For instance, do you want to do a lot of international travel or stick closer to home? Are you happy to drive the same car for many years, or do you want to upgrade regularly? Allowances can be made for large, one-off expenses such as a major trip or family wedding, and other elements can also be factored in. From this, interactive cash flow modelling can be completed and a very clear picture will emerge. One of the positive aspects of taking the time to put together a plan is that people often find they don’t need as much as they thought (but not always!) How far out should you start planning for retirement? This is something which should be done long before retirement, so I would always suggest that people start thinking and talking about their retirement well in advance, even as early as your 30s! Of course, at a younger age it doesn’t need to be more than an occasional conversation as part of your overall financial planning, but the closer you get to your retirement, the more often these conversations need to happen. Is there one piece of advice you would give to all those planning retirement in the near future? Hard to pin it down to only one thing but I think the main things are: start thinking about your retirement sooner rather than later, share your plans with your partner and family, and get the help of a good financial advisor.
