WANDERING LINES: Towards a New Culture of Space
SCAPE Christchurch Biennial
Opens 19 September 2008
Co-curated by Turkey's internationally renowned Fulya Erdemci and New Zealand's Danae Mossman, SCAPE 2008 will open with a distinctive list of artists showcasing new work in public space. Sited city-wide outdoors and at the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu, SCAPE 2008 runs for 6 weeks from 19 Sep – 2 Nov*.
A city is a dynamic system constantly in flux, that reflects the shifting values of society, where social and political representations, cultural production and consumption, tourism and leisure play out. Globalisation has led to greater mobility and increasing migration, transforming cities at an increasingly rapid pace. Culturally, this shift has seen shopping malls become surrogate social spaces, and urban centres designed to capture the tourist dollar over the need for public space that appeals to local inhabitants.
