Art & Industry Biennial Trust
Art & Industry was launched in 1999 to provide a meeting ground for industry, public funders, contemporary visual artists, and be a catalyst for site-specific art throughout Christchurch city. Unique to SCAPE are the partnerships between the spheres of art and industry. Partnering artist with industry, materials, intellectual property and resources, enables the production of new innovative artworks for public engagement. In this way all artworks developed for SCAPE are the product of creative endeavour and a partnership with the community. Ambitious artistic concepts are regularly worked through with artists, curators and industry partners to create new works, articulating a very special civic co-operation.International in its focus from the outset, the participating artists in SCAPE 2006 have responded to the context of public space within the local environment. With artistic contributions from Australia; Canada; China; Finland; France; Germany; Korea; Mexico; Singapore; Switzerland, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom. SCAPE 2006 promises to be one of the most stimulating and diverse contemporary art events seen in New Zealand. The Art & Industry Biennial Trust’s dedication to providing public artworks not only enhances our inner city, but makes Christchurch a unique and distinctive place in which to live and visit
