Be part of giant graphs and visual data representations, stretching across the fields of Wellington鈥檚 Macalister park. Artist Siv B Fj忙restad is working with public art producers ,聽in partnership with Wellington City Council to create a data inspired artwork on the fields of Macalister and Liardet Street Parks, Berhampore: a dynamic backdrop for activity.

Now all they need is you! Opening Public Picnic Sunday 19 April 2015 12-3pm聽for a programme of family events and a community picnic.

Over 2013 Fj忙restad and volunteers surveyed the local community to inform the painting鈥檚 design and use. 聽Fj忙restad states 鈥淭he painting design contains representations of statistical data and ideas for the park collected from the community, visual references to current activity and also to the landscape and its history.聽The park is perceived, used and interpreted differently at different times of the day and week. This work involves contributions from local communities, sporting groups and businesses, and extends what we consider both painting and public art to comprise. It asks questions about how we use our city public commons.鈥澛燭he paintings are for the public to look at and play on, encouraging leadership from the community to value the park as a public good.

Projected Fields has been funded by Wellington City Council鈥檚 Public Art Fund.
