  • Theatre Royal Including All of That Part of the Building
    CHRISTCHURCH CITY PLAN – LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 222 THEATRE ROYAL INCLUDING ALL OF THAT PART OF THE BUILDING SOUTH OF THE PROSCENIUM ARCH BUT EXCLUDING THE NEW PART OF THE BUILDING ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE SEISMIC WALL AND SETTING - 145 GLOUCESTER STREET, CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M.VAIR-PIOVA, 5/12/2014 HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE Historical and social values that demonstrate or are associated with: a particular person, group, organisation, institution, event, phase or activity; the continuity and/or change of a phase or activity; social, historical, traditional, economic, political or other patterns. The Theatre Royal, including all of that part of the building south of the proscenium arch but excluding the new part of the building on the eastern side of the seismic wall, has high historical and social significance as an important performance venue in Christchurch for more than a century. The alterations to the building and its changes of use reflect the changing nature and fortunes of entertainment in the city over the last hundred years. The theatre was built for a syndicate headed by theatre impresario J. C. Williamson, and opened on 25 February 1908. The size of the building, originally seating 1,240, suggests the popularity of theatre at the time. The building is the third in Gloucester Street to carry the name. Williamson was an American who settled in Australia, founding his company in 1879; many of the better productions which toured Australasia from the late nineteenth until the mid-twentieth centuries travelled were through Williamson.

  • New Zealand Painting
    New Zealand Painting 1 f g. • w w. H i 1 New Zealand Painting Since 1957 the Auckland City Art Gallery has assembled an annual anthology of contemporary New Zealand painting. These exhibitions have particular objectives: to gather from all parts of the country the work of thinking artists being painters who are not content to continue year after year with an adopted formula and repeating this ad nauseum, nor those who switch styles as easily and frequently as a man changes his coat; but rather, the artists who think about painting and consider it a vital means of communicating ideas. And not so much other people's ideas (although all sensitive painters are aware of their debt to history and the work of other creative artists) but, the deeply felt and thought-out ideas of the artist's personal responses to the world. This approach to painting calls for tenacity of thought and quite a bit of courage. Consequently, it is surely the duty of a public art gallery to foster these vital and thinking artists within our national life. To encourage their development and growth for the national good — if for no other reason. These exhibitions are then offered as travelling units. Galleries accepting the exhibition share the cost of touring. As these costs are steadily rising and no grant-in-aid is involved, organizations presenting this exhibition will need to exert even greater efforts to ensure the continuance of the exhibition on a travelling basis. Here is a visible demonstration of some of the current trends and movements in New Zealand painting.

  • Public Art in Central Christchurch
    PUBLIC ART IN CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH A STUDY BY THE ROBERT MCDOUGALL ART GALLERY 1997 Public Art In Central Christchurch A Study by the Robert McDougall Art Gallery 1997 Compiled by Simone Stephens Preface Christchurch has an acknowledged rich heritage of public art and historically, whilst it may not be able to claim the earliest public monument in New Zealand, it does have the earliest recognised commissioned commemorative sculpture in the form of the Godley statue by Thomas Woolner. This was unveiled in August 1867. Since that date the city has acquired a wide range of public art works that now includes fountains and murals as well as statues and sculpture. In 1983 the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, with the assistance of two researchers on a project employment scheme, undertook to survey and document 103 works of art in public places throughout Christchurch. Unfortunately even though this was completed, time did not permit in-depth research, or funding enable full publication of findings. Early in 1997, Councillor Anna Crighton, requested that the 1983 survey be reviewed and amended where necessary and a publication produced as a document describing public art in the city. From June until December 1997, Simone Stephens carried out new research updating records, as many public art works had either been removed or lost in the intervening fourteen years. As many of the more significant public art works of Christchurch are sited between the four Avenues of the inner city, this has been the focus of the 1997 survey the results of which are summarised within this publication.

  • Heritage and Participation: a Case Study of Advocacy in Post- Earthquake Christchurch
    Heritage and Participation: a case study of advocacy in post- earthquake Christchurch Rebecca Margaret Halliday Ford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Museum and Heritage Studies Victoria University of Wellington June 2018 Abstract This dissertation explores the advocacy for the Christchurch Town Hall that occurred in 2012-2015 after the Canterbury Earthquakes. It frames this advocacy as an instance of collective-action community participation in a heritage decision, and explores the types of heritage values it expressed, particularly social values. The analysis contextualises the advocacy in post-quake Christchurch, and considers its relationship with other developments in local politics, heritage advocacy, and urban activism. In doing so, this dissertation considers how collective action operates as a form of public participation, and the practical implications for understanding and recognising social value. This research draws on studies of practices that underpin social value recognition in formal heritage management. Social value is held by communities outside institutions. Engaging with communities enables institutions to explore the values of specific places, and to realise the potential of activating local connections with heritage places. Such projects can be seen as participatory practices. However, these processes require skills and resources, and may not be appropriate for all places, communities and institutions. However, literature has under- studied collective action as a form of community participation in heritage management. All participation processes have nuances of communities, processes, and context, and this dissertation analyses these in one case. The research specifically asked what heritage values (especially social values) were expressed through collective action, what the relationship was with the participation processes, communities, and wider situation that produced them, and the impact on institutional rhetoric and decisions.

  • The Acoustical Design of the Christchurch Town Hall
    The acoustical design of the Christchurch town hall Harold Marshall Marshall Day Acoustics Ltd., P O Box 5811, Wellesley Str. 1141, Auckland, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract The Christchurch Town Hall (New Zealand) was opened on September 30 1972. Disastrous earthquakes hit Christchurch in September 2010 and February 2011. Most of the CBD and the historic buildings were destroyed or damaged by the February event, including much of the Town Hall complex. The City Council in November 2012, resolved to restore the entire building but at the time of writing there remains uncertainty. The intention of this paper is to put on record the history of the Christchurch Town Hall design in case it does not survive the political after-shocks of the earthquakes. With the building’s future now in jeopardy it seems appropriate to set out the process that led to this unique design, acknowledge the many contributors, outline its research base, the innovations in predictive technology employed, the evaluation of its acoustical properties and the learning that flowed from it. Reprinted with the kind permission of the Author and ‘Journal of Building Acoustics’ Volume 21 Number 1 2014 1. Introduction Only architects registered in NZ were permitted to enter. The first stage was to close on 31st January 1966.
