Amy Howden-Chapman: The Flood, My Chanting Public Discussion

Saturday October 18 2008, 11 am – midday

City Gallery Auditorium, Wellington


Join artist Amy Howden-Chapman, Dugal McKinnon, Senior Lecturer, Sonic Arts and Composition at Victoria University and Heather Galbraith, Senior Curator / Manager Curatorial Programmes at City Gallery for a discussion about the ONE DAY SCULPTURE project The Flood, My Chanting, commissioned by City Gallery Wellington. The Flood, My Chanting took place in central Wellington on Thursday 9 October. Howden-Chapman created a temporary circuit of bells curving from the waterfront though the central city and back to the sea. The circuit corresponded to the part of Wellington that is on reclaimed land, and therefore most under threat from future flooding. The project also looked back to the tradition of ringing church bells to raise alarm in times of danger.

Roman Ondák Good Feelings in Good Times (2003)

Friday March 7 2008, 10am-5pm

Wellington


On Friday 7 March 2008 between 10am and 5pm, Slovakian artist Roman Ondák staged his acclaimed project Good Feelings in Good Times. First realised outside the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne and adapted for Frieze Art Fair in 2004, the work consisted of a queue of people that formed across various locations in central Wellington over the course of one day.

Ondák is well known internationally for his staging of familiar scenarios in which unexpected actions occur. Taking the form of installations, performances and interventions, his works often affect a double-take, provoking viewers to question their understanding and perceptions of everyday life.

Considering the future of Contemporary Sculpture in the Public Realm

Saturday March 8 2008, 10:30am-12:30pm

Frank Kitts Park, Wellington

Leading voices in contemporary art and performance examin how artists are rethinking the concept of public sculpture, addressing temporary artistic responses to location; the role of performance and participation and the capacity for temporary works to be sustained through the social imagination.


Chaired by visual arts advocate and arts management company Director, Rob Garrett - the panel includes Christina Barton (Director, Adam Art Gallery); Claire Doherty (UK-based curator and Curatorial Leader, ONE DAY SCULPTURE); Dorita Hannah (Head of Performance Design, Massey University College of Creative Arts); Roman Ondák (visiting artist: New Zealand International Arts Festival and ONE DAY SCULPTURE) and Amy Howden-Chapman (New Zealand visual artist and contributor to ONE DAY SCULPTURE). Christina Barton’s paper from this forum will be published here shortly.
