    • Statues or Fun?
      • 8 Jun 2010
      • Sharon Blaikie
      • So, $350 000 for a statue that will be passe in a couple of years. One of those statues like the Queen Victoria ones that cities try to fob off on each other. Yet, those events that help to make Wellington a great place to live or visit like the Cuba Street Carnival and the Newtown Fair can't be held for lack of money. How absurd!

      • THE noise that Wellington’s newest sculpture makes “is halfway between a hum and a whistle”, says Sculpture Trust chairman Neil Plimmer. Akau Tangi, (the sighing sound of the wind) created by renowned artist Phil Dadson, is the fifth and final installation in the $750,000, 10 years in-the-making, Meridian Wind Sculpture Walkway.

        • ‘The New Zealand Netherlands Society had a sculpture on the waterfront once. It was unveiled by Queen Beatrix when visiting Wellington. Because of vandalism it had to be moved indoors. Good luck with that.’
        • ‘I agree with John. The hand grabbing for the “ball” is tasteless and most peculiar!’
        • ‘If Wellington has to have a rugby statue on the waterfront – and I don’t think it does – let it be designed by a real sculptor, not a special effects workshop whose idea of artistic excellence is an orc. The current offering is pathetic, derivative kitsc’

    • The rugby sculpture

      • The Wellingtonista
      • A proposal was unveiled yesterday for a Weta Workshop-designed rugby-themed sculpture to grace the city, somewhere, In Time For The Rugby World Cup. The sculpture is highly symbolic, with the DomPost providing a list of all the symbolism, but what does the sculpture most resemble?

      • 19 Feb 2010
      • The Wellingtonista
      • Te Papa's forecourt may look as if it's under attack by giant glittery space balls, but it's actually the start of a two-year kinetic sculpture installation called "The Mimetic Brotherhood", by Peter Trevelyan. There's not much kinesis evident at the moment, but once the installation is complete, expect the plinth-eating monsters to start pulsating in their full hydraulic glory.

The Trust's Chairman, Neil Plimmer, says it is the right art work on the right site. “The initial public response has been fabulous. The work will transform and strengthen the appeal of this northern part of the waterfront.

    • Major new sculpture for Wellington
      • 28 Nov 2008
      • Wellington Sculpture Trust
      • The Wellington Sculpture Trust is excited to announce the commissioning of a major new artwork by the Wellington-based artist Regan Gentry. The piece, named Subject to Change, has been specifically designed for its location in the Te Aro area, making reference to the changes in the urban landscape of that part of Wellington. It comprises a replica of two walls of a heritage-style building, yet is clearly a large scale work of art.

    • Splish Splash: Bucket Fountain Update
      • 27 Nov 2008
      • The Wellingtonista
      • There's been a bit of action going on at the old Bucket Fountain, icon of Cuba Street. First, it mysteriously disappeared: We initially thought this was a retro '80s David Copperfield-style magic trick, but it turns out it was just taken down for maintenance. The fountain returned, with a fresh coat of paint, ready to splash the good folk of Cuba Mall once again.
