Public Talk: An Introduction to SCAPE 2010
Public Talk - Wednesday 14 April 2010
Blair French Presents Current Art, Future City - An Introduction to SCAPE 2010
Blair French, convener of the curatorial
group for SCAPE 2010, will present the framework for
SCAPE 2010, locating it in a broader field of art in
public space internationally. Blair will also provide an
introduction to the practices of artists participating in
SCAPE 2010.
SCAPE 2010 will build upon the achievements of previous SCAPE events, but will consolidate and focus on the production of a smaller number of high impact public art projects. Artists projects are being developed in dialogue with, and located at, strategic sites within the inner city, probing, refocusing and enhancing both existing and future projections of Christchurch’s inner city as a shared, civic space.
Blair French is the Executive Director of Artspace Visual Art Centre in Sydney, Australia's leading international residency focused contemporary art space dedicated to supporting artists in the development and presentation of new work. He is joined by Julia Morrison and William Field, who together, make up the curatorial group for SCAPE 2010. SCAPE 2010 is the 6th Christchurch Biennial and runs from 24 September- 7 November.
