Letting Space – News from an Art and Property Project
We’re in the countdown to our opening day on Saturday 5pm 141 Willis Street. Love to see you there. In the meantime here’s some fresh updates.
BRING US YOUR CASSETTE TAPES
Dugal McKinnon’s Popular Archeology will operate like a private library holding a community’s cassette tapes. Items once purchased in stores return to the retail space with their personal ownership and memories attached. Whether it’s one, two or fifty we invite you to contribute your cassette tape collection to our library for some of the installation’s run (for return). Bring them along to the opening or any day between 10am and 6pm. There’ll be a tape player to share them with others, or for you to enjoy the others available.
BLOGGING AND TWEETING
Plenty of activity on the ‘Blog in Space’ on the website at www.lettingspace.org.nz/blog We also recommend you join Facebook or Twitter groups for more regular updates. We hope to be twittering from the space regularly on the interface between a sound artwork and the streetscape.
URBAN DREAM BROKERAGE PITCH – DEADLINE EXTENDED
We’ve had a pile of beautiful pitches but we’ve also extended the deadline –because we can – to Friday April 23 for those still thinking. If you have ideas for all that vacant commercial space – send us a summary of your idea and we’ll choose three to be presented in a live pitching session, on May 6th at City Gallery Wellington. Your pitch should be snappy (under 200 words). It may relate to a specific site or be an idea for the future. It may suggest new models of exchange or propose alternative systems of value. Drawings and images are also welcomed. Submit to www.lettingspace.org.nz/contact-us/
POPULAR ARCHEOLOGY
Dugal McKinnon’s installation runs 10am to 6pm until Sunday May 9 at 141 Willis Street (across from Willis St Village). Our thanks to property partner The Wellington Company. There’s a link on our homepage to a nice RNZ Arts on Sunday audio feature on the project: www.lettingspace.org.nz
