Ice House Detroit print showing in Auckland, New Zealand

The final print from the Ice House Detroit project will be shown in Auckland, New Zealand in July as part of a group show entitled Rapid Change. I'll be making the trip, while Greg works on a new installation in Detroit. Please let anyone know who is in the region. If anyone has any suggestions on sightseeing, I will be there for 10 days, from July 8 - July 18.

Rapid Change features nine artists who have explored cities facing periods of major transformation. Focusing on Auckland, Detroit, Hong Kong, Liverpool and New York works in the exhibition consider the politics and societal impact of change in the urban environment.

While cities are continually in a state of flux there is often concentrated periods of rapid change that dramatically shape urban landscapes and greatly impact communities. Auckland is currently at the beginning of such a period. The rapid merger of eight regional councils into one 'Super-city' government together with the electoral promise of rapid public transport has set Auckland on a course of major transformation. By looking at significant changes in cities around the world Rapid Change considers Auckland's past and future urban landscape within a global context.

Artists include: Anu Pennanen, Dieneke Jansen, Elisapeta Heta, Gregory Holm, Matthew Radune, Peter Wareing, Stefan Canham, Reuben Moss and Rufina Wu
