Beginning Research

I raided the Creative Arts library and the Main Campus library for relevant books. here is the list of books that I liked from the library:

  • Benefits of public art : the polemics of permanent art in public spaces / Sara Selwood - 709.42 SEL
  • Landscape for modern sculpture : Storm King Art Center text by John Beardsley - 735.23 BEA
  • Changing spaces : sculpture walk : New Zealand Festival 2002, 23 February - 17 -730.993 CHA
  • Connells Bay Centre for Sculpture by Robin Woodward - 730.993 WOO
  • Contemporary outdoor sculpture by Brooke Barrie - 730.922 BAR
  • Living Sculpture by Paul Cooper - 731.71 COO

I liked the sculpture walk but a lot of the construction looked expensive and difficult. Connells bay had this wooden red trail which weaved through the trees which looked cool 'ish. But yeah I'm just not feeling the sculpture- sculpture. I've discussed with Clinton about our general direction we are going to take in this project and I think the feeling is mutual when it comes to this type of sculpture. We both want this work to have some practical value so we were thinking about the possibility of a pathway.
