The Curatorium selected for the SCAPE
Biennial 04 focused on the influence of the Asia Pacific Region on the cultural evolution of Aotearoa New
Zealand by selecting sites of cultural significance within Christchurch
City and works of equally significant cultural impact and narrative. A
variety of experiences and emotions were juxtaposed against different
timescales and periods, with notions of historical and contemporary reference
being played out.
The programmes in the SCAPE Biennial
04 consisted of major public artworks – both permanent and ephemeral;
site-specific artworks and exhibitions; numerous residency and gallery/art
organisation partnerships and public programmes; and four major ephemeral
site-specific/exhibitions. The projects were largely led by local and national
artists but also included work from leading international artists.
