Boon Sculpture Trail

3 February – 31 March 2024
Paul Darragh, Progress Pillar, 2023
Boon Sculpture Trail brings together twenty-six artists from across Aotearoa, to create and install twenty-three temporary outdoor sculptures in Kirikiriroa Hamilton. Spread over eight public sites, Hamilton Central will be transformed into an unmissable Artscape.

According to Curator Claire Ulenberg, “The Boon Sculpture Trail features work from established and emerging artists. When sending out the call for proposals, I prompted the artists to think about and respond to the theme of ‘this place’ to propose work that engages with our evolving relationship with this unique whenua and provokes interaction and conversation with audiences while showcasing the bountiful diversity in contemporary art practice in Aotearoa. I chose such a broad and open theme in order to ignite the artist’s imagination and challenge what is possible, to receive interesting and experimental responses from artists to encourage a multitude of readings and experiences for the audience.”
