When Kaikoura shook, photographer Andy Spain got Wellington's list of earthquake prone buildings and started photographing them. The idea of fixing time became appealing, as many of the buildings were demolished. When asked to exhibit them together however, Andy began to ask what these remnants meant. He visited the petals saved from Athfield's church of First Church of Christ Scientist and saw their fragility. He talked to architects about remedial work which never saw the light of day. What were the consequences of all these traces existing in a time when the fates of many Wellington buildings are so contested? Where heritage competes with social housing, which competes with sustainable reuse, and so on. So, this exhibition is not about the photographs that have been taken, or the drawings drawn, or the artworks saved. It is about how we decide to use these remnants, and what stories we want them to tell. architecture earthquake-strengthening heritagebuildings localhistory cubastreet places wcnhosted art exhibitions Mon, 23 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.thistlehall.org.nz/andy-spain-athfield-architects-te-kahui-whaihanga-nzia-wellington-branch/common-ground Thistle Hall Community Venue 2024-09-23T00:00:00Z -41.29736355 174.77365784691114 Thistle Hall, Cuba Street, Mount Cook, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand https://www.thistlehall.org.nz/anna-frame-augustina-binyamin-george-culling-guy-van-der-wilt/newtown-new-form Newtown, New Form is a collection of student works that propose formal relationships between a place, Newtown, and architecture. newtown architecture places cubastreet wcnhosted art exhibitions Wed, 18 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.thistlehall.org.nz/anna-frame-augustina-binyamin-george-culling-guy-van-der-wilt/newtown-new-form Thistle Hall Community Venue 2023-01-18T00:00:00Z -41.29736355 174.77365784691114 Thistle Hall, Cuba Street, Mount Cook, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand https://www.thistlehall.org.nz/brick-and-water-creative-stacey-fraser-allen/celebration-wellington-architecture New Zealand architecture has been at the center of my creative practice for the past year.
