way, including Ai Weiwei, Yang Fudong, Xu<br />

art collections in both New Zealand and<br />

GIANT PUKEKO TO<br />
STRUT CITY LANEWAY<br />
Congratulations to Jake Clark for his<br />
clean sweep in the Laneway Street<br />
Art Competition for Guthrey Lane,<br />
off Cashel Mall, near Ballantynes. The<br />
Christchurch-based artist won $3000<br />
from Peebles Group for his designs<br />
for three laneway walls: a giant<br />
pukeko, flying kereru and entrance<br />
mural combining the taurapa<br />
(symbolising the journey early Maori<br />
made to get here) and tekoteko<br />
(welcoming figure). The works are<br />
in production now, so watch those<br />
walls over winter.
