Student Accomodation (Audio – duration: 4′10″) Radio NZ – 28.03.09

Otago students say they’re paying higher rents despite the poor condition of their flats.

 

The intention is to enable students to make more informed choices about student housing, and to provide landlords with an incentive to upgrade the aesthetics and environmental standards of their properties.

2 weeks to go

… this time in two weeks the exhibition will be all ready to view – the opening of “My Flat Your Flat Our Place” is on the 10th August at 6pm, so if you’re in Dunedin town, pop along to The Link at the University of Otago (Cumberland St near Albany St corner).

On schedule

I’m off to bed after a productive evening of getting all the print copy formatted and signed off for the exhibition. Big thanks to Steve for all your help 😀

I had an email from a Radio NZ reporter who wants to have a chat about flats sometime – sounds interesting. I’m up for it.

I also had a great chat with Mark from Auto Art in Dunedin who may be producing the exhibition titles – 4m of bright orange coolness. I can’t wait to see it!

We are so on schedule for the 10th August. Bring it on.

Photos mounted – feeling giddy

Thanks Frogprints for the photos and Lin Klenner for the materials for mounting the photos! We’re nearly all there for the exhibition. The postcard designs have been signed off and the poster is nearly there. Thanks Mel Opie for the design work.

Three weeks to go before the opening of My Flat Your Flat Our Place at OUSA Art Week on 10th August, 6pm in The Link at the University of Otago.
