Scape 2010 Artists Announced

Seven new large-scale temporary public artworks will join with four of the city’s permanent works to form a public art walkway from the Convention Centre in Kilmore Street to Wilson Reserve at the entrance to CPIT, during SCAPE 2010, the 6th Christchurch Biennial presented by the Art & Industry Biennial Trust.

New Zealand’s premier biennial of art in public space, to be held in Christchurch from 24 September to 7 November 2010, has in the last 10 years established a platform for local, national and international artists to develop dynamic, critical and progressive new permanent and temporary public artworks.

For SCAPE 2010 the Trust is commissioning temporary works by Darryn George (New Zealand); Joanna Langford (New Zealand); Richard Maloy (New Zealand); Ruth Watson (New Zealand); Ash Keating (Australia); Ahmet Öğüt (Turkey/The Netherlands) and Hector Zamora (Mexico/Brazil). Linking Blue at the Christchurch Convention Centre, Flour Power and Nucleus in High Street and the recently unveiled design for Passing Time at Wilson Reserve, these artists’ temporary artworks will form the SCAPE 2010 Public Art Walkway.
