Neil Dawson's Fanfare Is Here SCAPE Public Art 10 June 2015 Press Release Neil Dawson’s Fanfare is here Neil Dawson’s Fanfare, 2004/15, illuminated for the first time and officially presented on 10 June 2015. Photo by Bridgit Anderson. Courtesy of SCAPE Public Art. A new permanent landmark can be seen standing tall over the Canterbury Plains today, as Neil Dawson’s Fanfare, New Zealand’s largest public sculpture, was officially presented and illuminated for the first time tonight. Fanfare has progressed through an extraordinary journey over the past 10 years to find its home in Christchurch, the birth city of its notable sculptor, Neil Dawson. This visionary six-storey-high sphere is covered in 1.5 metre steel pinwheel fans and can be illuminated in a spectrum of colours at night. It started life as a celebration piece commissioned by the City of Sydney to ring in the New Year 2005 and was gifted to the people of Christchurch by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore in 2007. “I’m thrilled to see Fanfare installed on the Northern Motorway and touched by the huge support the project has gained,” sculptor Neil Dawson says. “I’m amazed at the complexities of such an apparently simple object. Its installation required a collaborative effort from many others, whose design and organisational contributions helped turn a whim I had into a whimsical artwork. I look forward to getting to know the work in its new site and seeing what sort of life it has.” In an announcement during the Fanfare dedication ceremony, the Honourable Maggie Barry, Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, revealed that Creative New Zealand had contributed the final funding to secure Fanfare’s future. Neil Dawson’s Fanfare Is Here SCAPE Public Art 10 June 2015 Press Release This completes SCAPE Public Art’s fundraising target set at the Fanfare Launch Event held almost one year ago in June 2014. “The SCAPE team has done a wonderful job to reach their funding target and galvanise the people of Canterbury in support of Fanfare. The sculpture will be a beautiful addition to Christchurch’s public spaces, which will hearten and inspire residents and visitors alike,” says Creative New Zealand Chief Executive Stephen Wainwright. The installation of Fanfare has been a collaborative effort – involving local and national government, the corporate and arts sectors, and members of the public – facilitated by public art project-management specialists SCAPE Public Art. Mayor Lianne Dalziel says she's enormously excited that Fanfare has found a new home as a stunning gateway to our city. “For me, this sculpture represents a vision of our regeneration as a city and the rebirth of our local arts scene. At the same time, I am sure it will capture the imagination of Cantabrians and visitors alike as the gateway public art work which links Christchurch city with the Canterbury region,” she says. “The completion of Fanfare has been a feat of creativity, design, meticulous planning, engineering and construction,” says Deborah McCormick, Director of SCAPE Public Art. “I’d like to sincerely thank and acknowledge everyone who has been involved, including hundreds of people from the community and from the business sector for their support of this legacy. I would especially like to congratulate Neil for this spectacular achievement. Fanfare can be viewed up close via the car parks on Main North Road and the Northern Motorway off-ramp. Follow the walking path to the two look-outs, complete with legacy boards recognising those who have made the installation of Fanfare a success.

June 10 Fanfare’s opening celebrated. Neil Dawson’s Fanfare Is Here SCAPE Public Art 10 June 2015 Press Release Fanfare Questions and Answers What is SCAPE Public Art? SCAPE Public Art installs free-to-view large-scale contemporary public art in Christchurch City. SCAPE Public Art has been installing public works of art and sculptures for 17 years and is the most prolific producer of new contemporary works of public art in New Zealand. SCAPE Public Art is the Christchurch expert in the installation of public art. What is Fanfare? Fanfare – a bold, contemporary, public sculpture – is the creation of internationally renowned Christchurch sculptor Neil Dawson. It is 20 metres in diameter, 24 metres high, it weighs 25 tonnes and has 360 separate 1.5-metre-wide wind-powered “pinwheels” covering its surface. The sculpture was kindly gifted to the Christchurch City Council by the City of Sydney in 2007 and has been installed by SCAPE Public Art Trust at Chaney’s Corner on the Northern Motorway entrance to the city. The work was originally suspended from Sydney Harbour Bridge for the City of Sydney’s 2005 New Year Celebration. The sculpture, with its free-spinning “pinwheels”, will be lit in response to special occasions in the Christchurch calendar. At this time, when Christchurch has lost many of its landmarks, Fanfare promises to play an important role in creating a dynamic entranceway to the city, and will add a vibrant new identity to the Christchurch cityscape. What is SCAPE Public Art’s role in Fanfare? SCAPE Public Art’s is the producer, working with sculptor Neil Dawson and the Christchurch City Council to draw together all the threads in order to make the work happen. This has included site-selection, approvals, sponsorship and fundraising, production of a book, marketing, publicity, community engagement and project management. What is the history of Fanfare? Fanfare has had an interesting life. Originally commissioned by the City of Sydney for the celebration of the 2005 New Year, it was raised from a barge at midnight and suspended from Sydney Harbour Bridge, where it remained for a period of three weeks. In 2007, with the support of Dawson, the Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney, Clover Moore, gifted it to the people of Christchurch. SCAPE Public Art was approached by the Christchurch City Council to produce Fanfare for Christchurch later that year. Who is Neil Dawson? Neil Dawson is a Christchurch-born sculptor, who has produced many public sculptures throughout New Zealand, Asia, Australia and Britain. Some of Neil's sculptures include Chalice in Cathedral Square, Christchurch; Ferns in Civic Square, Wellington, and Feather from Afar in the International Finance Centre, Pudong, Shanghai, China.

Twigs It’s hard to walk on shaky ground. Feet slip on fractured stone, cracks open where you least expect. The signposts have all been washed away, the map’s a blur, you’ve lost the guide. You must depend on small signs: broken glass, a bird that sings no no no, not that way, try this way, this way. Sometimes you find twigs laid out on a white page, crisscross and up and down. You pause and puzzle. Then sidle off. There is no option but to head straight into the sun, prodding as old women do with their irritable sticks, feeling for solid spots.
