The 6th SCAPE Christchurch Biennial of Art in Public Space is holding an earthquake recovery auction on Saturday 6th August in Auckland City to raise funds for the future production of SCAPE artists’ projects and programmes.
Due to the extraordinary circumstances of the 4th September 2010 and 22 February 2011 earthquakes, the 6th SCAPE was unable to proceed on both occasions. Now scheduled for commencement in August 2011, the SCAPE Christchurch Earthquake Recovery Auction is the first event of three months of temporary public art installations, artist talks and public programmes scheduled for Auckland and Christchurch. Funds raised at the auction will contribute to this programme. The auction includes paintings, prints, sculptures and drawings and is an ideal opportunity to acquire an original work by high calibre New Zealand and Internationally renowned artists.
The catalogue is available for viewing online at www.scapebiennial.org.nz from July 22.
