Chartwell Website Homepage??

Hi All ... following up from our discussion last night, and FYI for Andie and Mel ...
We have been invited to post some of our CAMRU resources up on a page on the Chartwell Trusts Website called "Thinking about Contemporary Art". Copy this link to their site to check out the existing format;
http://www.chartwell.org.nz/startthinking/thconart.asp
The suggestion is that we could use the "Thinking about" page like an artists page, our resources would add to the existing ideas about appreciating contemporary art that the Trust is interested in fostering.
The Chartwell Trust are philanthropic proponents for the cause and reception of contemporary art, have been collecting (mostly) NZ and Aussie work for about 30 years and are also interested in the practices and process' of c.art.
Seems like a good context to me, have a look around the website for more info.
Any ideas as to how it would work best? Alot of their info is text base so it would be great to contribute something more visually stimulating, and perhaps even drawing on some choice comments from CAMRU collaborators . . .
Check out the tone of the writing too - we might be able to ah, orange it up a bit :-)
Have a great weekend everyone!
I really enjoyed the meeting last night, it totally cleared my stress about the project - yay T.A.C!!!!!

Hey the pics look great!!!!!It's soo cool to have some images, adn makes me feel very urgent about getting on down there and engaging with some of those resposes. It's interesting how it becomes quite a beautiful thing in itself with all the different colours of notes and arrangements of them.

Oh so the Chartwell Trust. Yes good idea. I'd like to put some drawings up on it...there are some lovely ones which are responses in the gallery, and also maybe some of our more 'creative' material?

And if it's meant to be like and artist page should we put some images of the CAMRU?
