SCAPE, 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.

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.

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.
