don’t misbehave! the 2006 SCAPE Biennial of Art in Public Space, Christchurch (NZ)

The theme for the 2006 SCAPE Biennial of Art in Public Space is don’t misbehave! — a directive with an ironic twist. Working with public space brings to the fore the rules and preoccupations which influence contemporary art in the public realm. don’t misbehave! highlights works that playfully inhabit public space, intervening with the regulations which govern, private, public and commercial occupation of that space. This year’s Biennial intersperses works of art throughout the central urban area, with this exhibition at the Christchurch Art Gallery providing a focal point. Until 12.11.06.
