Expression of Interest: Pānui/Suffrage 125th Anniversary Temporary Artworks

 

Emerging artists are invited to express their interest in creating temporary works commissioned to mark the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand.

 

Auckland Council is looking for semi‐permanent installations with a lifespan of five years.

 

This enables works that will thematically respond to the anniversary.

 

Auckland Council has identified three likely sites as locations:

Tin Tacks Reserve Onehunga

Crawford Reserve Howick

Killarney Park Takapuna (TBC)

 

Auckland Council is looking for artists to produce a concept that:

is a stand-alone artwork

conceptually fits with the context of the site

contributes to transforming how Aucklanders experience the area

can be developed within the available budget and proposed timeline

has a lifespan of five years

is made of robust materials that are resistant to vandalism and weather

is less than four cubic metres in size

is designed to be fixed to a foundation two metres by two metres, and half a metre high

weighs less than four tonnes.

 

Auckland Council welcomes expressions of interest from both individuals and collectives.
