Quasi has landed
Wellington
Sculpture Trust and City Gallery Wellington present Ronnie
van Hout’s Quasi
This morning, Ronnie van Hout’s Quasi
was installed on the roof of City Gallery Wellington
with the help of Wellington Helicopters Limited. The
five-metre hybrid face-hand will be perched atop the Gallery
for up to three years.
Initially commissioned by Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū in 2016, the public sculpture is a partial self-portrait of van Hout, and is based on scans of the artist’s own body parts.
Quasi is a joint project with Wellington
Sculpture Trust and City Gallery Wellington, with support
from Wellington City Council, Wellington Community Trust,
and Richard Burrell.
