Viva Sydenham
It seems a lifetime ago that we combined with Gap Filler to launch the Gallery's first post-quake Outer Spaces project in Sydenham.
Pop, tick, slap, snap...
And those are some of the sounds you'll hear inside the ArtBox, when you step up to the screens and trigger some of the sixty performances recorded by Phil Dadson and sonicsfromscratch as part of the Bodytok project... With the SCAPE Biennial launching tonight, Bodytok's now officially open for business.
Ping!
That's the sound the colours are making at the corner of St Asaph and Madras, where the Christchurch Art Gallery/SCAPE ArtBox is now fully wrapped in its high-key Bodytok 'skins'. (Love that first hit of pink -- seen through Parsons, past Trusttum -- in the long view travelling west...)
