One Day Sculpture is a cumulative series of place-responsive public artworks produced by New Zealand-based and international artists from August 2008 to June 2009. Initiated by UK-based curator and Director of Situations, Claire Doherty and Massey University’s Litmus Research Initiative in Wellington, the series is realised in partnership with art institutions and artist-run initiatives throughout New Zealand. The series involves the creation of 21 new artworks across five New Zealand cities over one year. Each artwork will occur in the public domain and will exist for no more than a 24-hour period (with each artwork being realised on a different day). The works will reflect a diversity of artistic approaches from sculpture and installation in situ for 24 hours, to performance and itinerant interventions across locations at moments throughout a day. One Day Sculpture is the first international art project of its kind; stretching the concept of a scattered-site exhibition of new artworks over time and place, offering the opportunity to engage with each newly commissioned artwork for one day only, one after another, as a cumulative series over one year. The 21 new works will accumulate to form a dynamic and long-lasting reconsideration of what public sculpture can be, challenging conventional assumptions about permanence, monumentality and art in the public realm. The One Day Sculpture website www.onedaysculpture.org.nz is now live. One Day Sculpture will also include an international symposium in Wellington in March 2009 and a retrospective book publication to be published in late 2009 by Kerber. |
