Crossing Lines. Urban Art.

Crossing Lines: Wellington Perspectives. Exhibition. Performance.

Belonging is the heart of Crossing Lines where Maori, Somali and artistic voices come together to examine the present day and question the future.

Urban Art

There were always three components to Crossing Lines; theatre performance, exhibition in the same venue, art in an urban environment.

The purpose of the urban art is to increase curiosity and dialogue.  What does it mean?  Why is it here?

The initial proposal was using projection with animation from artist Paul Bradley or images from the various photogrpahy components over seen by artist Helen Mitchell.

The current version of Crossing Lines Urban Art has ventured down a low tech option that can be much more widely spread. Approximately two hundred little art pieces have been popping up in buildings through the southern corridor especially Newtown. The wide spread nature of these many but small art works reaches our purpose of expanding the dialogue into a wider but localised community. Now Tape Art is crossing over into the urban art with a large scale mural emerging on the wall at 70 Cable St, the performance venue and at the inner city end of the southern corridor.
