Something Else

Being the record of an expedition to locate and capture an iceberg said to be somewhere off the coast of the South Island, last seen buried deep within the heart of Freemans Bay. In a city threatened by drought, in a country wracked by unusual weather patterns, in an empty building about to be demolished, a fugitive from art contemplates a blank canvas, a jar of old brushes and a fresh page in his journal. As he surveys the grounds on which he's lived and worked 'a mutinous crew' conspire to take him on a voyage of salvage and recovery, into inner city Auckland of the 'sixties to revisit the deaths in which he believes his early obsession is implicated. A voyage to illuminate a looming personal and global disaster to navigate the boundaries of art and politics, obsession and friendship and the shifting shores of modern art movements.
