42DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd5 integrating arts ]Public Sculpture TrustStarting in 2005, the PN Public Sculpture Trust has beenworking with the Council to install ten public sculptures overten years. The seven sculptures installed to date in addition toolder sculpture and other public art have added an artisticelement to the urban environment. Collectively this hashelped to develop the concept of a Palmerston North being acreative city. With the exception of one, the majority of thesesculptures tend to be installed on the Western side of the citycentre.The CCF provides clear guidance as to how the remainingthree public sculptures fit within the wider city fabric. Duringthe development of this framework, the next location for apublic sculpture was chosen. The junction between BroadwayAvenue and the Square provides an opportunity to link /connect the series of public sculpture from the Western side ofthe Square to the East.The final two sculptures are proposed to be installed along theEastern edge of The Square. It is recommended that these finalsculptures are integrated into future streetscape andcoordinated with infrastructure improvements to deliver thevision set by the Urban Design Strategy and the CCF.Returning Column by Greg Johns, The SquareUnited-Divided by Phil Price, Main Street West
A focus on Public ArtWithin the City CentreIn addition to public sculpture, public art can be incorporatedinto the furnishings of the street, building frontages and publicopen spaces. Integration of art into these elements should bethought through at the early stages of design. Art may berepresented in things like the form of a park bench, the designof an alleyway gate, or the design of manhole covers across thecity centre.The Urban Design Strategy emphasises that the publicrecognition and expression of the local iwi Rangitāne is a toppriority. Further the broader base of indigenous Māori arts inboth its traditional and more contemporary styles is also apriority. Māori perspectives of the arts is broad andencompassing, which aligns well with the Palmerston North’sArts Strategy’s aspiration to consider arts in a wider sense. ToiMāori is a term that can be used to refer to all the diversecontemporary and traditional Māori art forms. Some of themore prominent types of Māori artistic expression that couldbe reflected in the city are kapa haka, whakairo (carving), mahiraranga (weaving), whakaahua (painting) and other visual artforms, waiata (song) and other vocal expression includingwhaikorero (formal oratory), whiti (poetry) and tuhituhi(writing). Some Māori art forms are associated with ancestralknowledge and are primarily shared and maintained withinwhanau, hapu and iwi.With this in mind, the representation and integration of Māoriarts into the city centre fabric provides an excellent opportunityto create a unique sense of place that directly relates back tothe Rangitāne heritage in the Palmerston North and widerManawatū area.Body Language by Terry Stringer, The Square Te Marae o Hine43DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd5 integrating arts ]
