LUMA Art Walk
Luma Queenstown | Visual Art
The Project
LUMA Art Walk is part of the LUMA Southern Light Project, taking place over Queen's Birthday weekend in the Queenstown Gardens.
The art walk is a collaboration between LUMA and at least five New Zealand artists who have offered up their large scale artwork to be displayed in both a daytime setting and illuminated after dark.
How can you help?
We want to do each piece justice. We've secured them, arranged for their transportation and now eagerly await them being moved into place. We need your help to really bring them to life at night! Our plan is to enhance their presentation with specialist theatrical lighting, specific to each piece.
The sculptures are to be located on the grassed area adjacent to the pond between the band rotunda and lawn bowls club, with the placement of each artwork given special consideration by the curator Mark Moran from Toi o Tahuna Fine Art Gallery.
The 5000 NZD we are seeking in this Boosted fundraising campaign will enable us to work closely with the artists, curator and lighting designer to determine how best to light each piece. The sculptures will be assessed on individual merit and lit to help enhance the artwork's particular aesthetic. Some sculptures may have projection, others LED lighting, whilst some may be predominately lit as part of their original design.
The LUMA Art Walk will provide an opportunity for our local community to enjoy some unique artwork in the beautiful setting of the Queenstown Gardens.
Each artwork will have details about the piece, the artist and the parties that have helped to facilitate their display including galleries, collectors and sponsors.
Confirmed artists are:
Gregor Kregar (Auckland)
Paratene Matchitt (Napier)
Luke Jacomb (Auckland)
Conor McNicholas (Queenstown)
Drew Hill (Gisborne)
LUMA Art Walk is part of LUMA Southern Light Project, a free public event, showcasing a curated collection of stunning light sculptures and installations with a focus on transformation of space, public interaction, art, culture and education.
We will be using Queenstown's unique alpine canvas as a giant amphitheatre for local and New Zealand talent to paint with light.
LUMA Southern Light Project 2016 will be held on Queen's Birthday Weekend, 3rd-5th of June 2016 in the Queenstown Gardens.
