Hoardings

Over a period of months during 1996, South Island Art Projects coordinated the making and presentation of a series of art posters under the project title Hoardings. These were displayed, according to the poster's subject, in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. Five contemporary artists were commissioned to each work in collaboration with a community group of their choosing, to prepare a large two colour poster. These posters were "published using the professional services of project sponsors Phantom Billstickers, appearing on city poster hoardings in the context of band and street culture advertising posters.
