• • October 2012: Trust’s sculptures valued at $7.5 million

    • 14 Nov 2012
    • Wellington Sculpture Trust
    • Extract from an address to the Joint Annual Dinner of the Karori Rotary and Lions Clubs, 31 October 2012 by Neil Plimmer, Chairman of the Wellington Sculpture Trust. “We get much favourable feedback from the public about the 25 sculptures that we have provided for Wellington over our lifetime, but the proof that holds the most sway is that Wellingtonians keep funding them. We thrive on the support and benefaction of the people of Wellington. “The total cost of the 25 sculptures is $4.5 million which inflation-adjusted yields about $7.5 million. The overwhelming bulk of this is raised privately, from companies, family trusts, individuals, grant-giving bodies and other sources.

• • July 2012: Akau Tangi finally completed

    • 22 Jul 2012
    • Wellington Sculpture Trust
    • Phil Dadson’s kinetic sound and light sculpture Akua Tangi, the last of the five Meridian wind sculptures to be installed on Cobham Drive, has been completed with the installation on 22 July 2012 of an 11th pole and cone on the median strip of the roadway. Until now the sculpture had comprised eight poles on the seaward side of Cobham Drive, and two on the landward side. It had always been the artist’s and the Trust’s intention to install another the median strip to link the poles in a continuous sequence, but various cost and traffic safety issues needed to be resolved before this could be done.

• • Overground? underground? … wombling free?

    • 2 Jul 2011
    • While the Wombles spent their lives underground and overground, they never really had to negotiate the politics of overpasses. This is something we will have to when considering what really are the options for the Basin Reserve? Of course doing nothing is always an option – but if something is to be done it will involve grade separation – i.e. overgrounding or undergrounding: flyovers or tunnelling, if the aim to provide unimpeded flow (i.e. efficiency) for State Highway 1.
