This bold initiative stepped outside the gallery walls and into the city, to make contemporary art, both national and international, truly public in a fresh and exciting way. And it did so by involving industry and business, and the various communities of the city, in commissioning and realising both arts projects and permanent works. To celebrate this significant achievement, a fascinating and richly illustrated book telling the SCAPE story has been published. Written by well-known arts commentator and historian Dr Warren Feeney, OUT THERE: SCAPE Public Art 1998–2018 traces how public sculpture has gone beyond the traditional concept of ‘monuments in an open plaza’ to become something full of possibility and surprise – whether temporary, ephemeral, an event in which people could participate or a lasting part of the urban landscape. The book tracks, too, the unexpected and fruitful partnerships that have grown up between the visual arts and industry and business, and not only in the form of sponsorship for artworks and projects. Mutual support and understanding have flourished. Also recounted is the narrative of SCAPE during the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. What are the roles and responsibilities of the visual arts in natural disasters? How can they help to normalise when everything is abnormal? Drawing on interviews with the originators and supporters of SCAPE, and with the artists themselves, Warren Feeney has written a lively and appealing account of two amazing decades. Stunning images of the artworks themselves, and superb design, make OUT THERE: SCAPE Public Art 1998–2018 a beautiful and special book. No one interested in the visual arts of this country should be without it. REVIEWS “It’s an essential book for anyone interested in public art in general, and also an important visual record of every work of art installed by SCAPE” adding, “I really enjoyed Out There. It brought back many wonderful memories.” Andrew Paul Wood, EyeContact THE AUTHOR Dr Warren Feeney has been writing about and commenting on the visual arts in Aotearoa New Zealand for more than 25 years. He is the author of CSA: The Radical, the Reactionary and the Canterbury Society of Arts, 1880–1996 (Canterbury University Press, 2010) and the co-author, with Peter Alsop, of Marcus King: Painting New Zealand for the World (Potton & Burton, 2015).

She lives between Istanbul and Berlin, and over the past 20 years has continuously and prolifically exhibited worldwide. She is known for her sensitivity towards the sites of her works, and has been involved in shows, exhibitions and festivals spanning Europe, the USA and beyond, including the SCAPE Christchurch Biennial in 2008. This golden cashier bag, from Ayse’s 2008 SCAPE work, Every Bag Counts was created to mass branding from purchases and create a new affirmation based on contribution to the community. Bags with different “Never” sayings were used in small, locally-owned stores around the Christchurch CBD during the Biennial. The bag, never felt better, was used in fashion boutique Plume, located on High Street at the time. This vain bag, by this internationally acclaimed artist, gives a knowing wink to those extravagant purchases while also paying tribute to Christchurch’s bohemian community spirit. - [ART FOR SCAPE, 2018](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/art-for-scape-2018/) - by Billy Apple 236mm x 146mm Editions for sale are limited to 20. - [SCAPEXX Edition, 2018](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/scapexx-edition-2018/) - by Neil Dawson 600mm x 100mm Editions for sale are limited to 20 of each colour.

Mirror Blooms is a continuation of the artist’s Laser Blooms series - moulded from perspex mirror board and spread asteroid-like across the wall. This highly reflective material references the thin membranes used in the manufacturing of space vehicles and also pays homage to Andy Warhol, the contemporary icon of image, and his floating silver balloons in The Factory. Judy Darragh is a prolific New Zealand artist renowned for her brightly coloured sculptural assemblages of found objects, recycled items, industrial materials, collage, photography, video, and poster art. Emerging as an artist during the 80’s era of conspicuous consumption, Darragh’s work displayed a fondness for everyday objects and played with our views of material consumerism. Kitsch and a strong association with localised nostalgia are at the essence of Darragh’s work. Her assemblages appear as structurally makeshift piles of ‘materials’, incorporating elements ranging from bottles, glassware and plastic to corks, feathers, tikis, beads, paint, flowers, paua and cake tins. It is, however, the process of making these large assemblages that is as important as the observation itself. She makes new from the old and provides objects with a fresh significance or value. Darragh is widely exhibited in New Zealand. Her works are held in various major collections including Auckland City Art Gallery and Govett Brewster in New Plymouth. In 2004 the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa featured a major retrospective of her work curated by Natasha Conland and entitled Judy Darragh: So … you made it? A writer, speaker and long-time teacher, the artist lives in Auckland. - [Fitu, 2017](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/fitu-2017/) - Chris Ulutupu Fitu, 2017 620mm x 435mm Limited edition print, framed Ed 2 of 4 - [Fame, 2017](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/fame-2017/) - Chris Ulutupu Fame, 2017 620mm x 435mm Limited edition print, framed Ed 2 of 4 - [Leila, 2017](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/leila-2017/) - Chris Ulutupu Leila, 2017 620mm x 435mm Limited edition print, framed Ed 1 of 4 - [Moana and Haz, 2017](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/moana-and-haz-2017/) - Chris Ulutupu Moana and Haz, 2017 620mm x 435mm Limited edition print, framed Ed 2 of 4 - [I See Art Everywhere](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/i-see-art-everywhere/) - A large-scale square format, this book documents Judy Darragh’s artworks and projects from 2008 to 2013 in a superb array of images and content.

Greer has been recognised as an Icon by the Arts Foundation of New Zealand. He has produced an astonishing body of work over some six decades, and is still a fully productive, inventive and innovative figure. His work is characterised by great diversity as he has shifted through various themes, media and methods, but for all that diversity there is a unique and unshakable path that binds all together. This book is richly illustrated and ably interpreted with a text from Dr Robin Woodward and expanded notes and chronology from Greer himself. Altogether these provide an enduring record and a more comprehensive insight than has previously been possible. Emphasis is placed on the illustrations, which is important for a book in the visual arts, and the two main photographers Haruhiko Sameshima and Greer himself show the works with intelligence and sensitivity.” – Rodney Wilson 2013. - [Vivid: The Paul Hartigan Story](https://www.scapepublicart.org.nz/product/vivid-the-paul-hartigan-story/) - Vivid: The Paul Hartigan Story, written by Don Abbott.
