9. DAVID LANGE MEMORIAL ARTWORK

   W Pringle
   Senior Arts Planner	6 September 2007

   Updating the Subcommittee on the progress of the proposed major artwork memorial to the late Prime Minister David Lange. In September 2006, the Arts, Culture and Recreation Committee endorsed the proposal to locate a major memorial artwork for David Lange on the Mason Avenue Entrance on the Otahuhu Recreation Precinct. The David Lange Memorial Trust have engaged an artist, Virginia King, and would like to install the memorial by August 2008. The artwork concept, which is still under development, incorporates landscaping around the artwork which will form a section of the precinct's entranceway.

   Officers have recently met with the David Lange Memorial
   Trust's project manager. It is proposed that from November 2007 the David Lange memorial artist and the Otahuhu Recreation Precinct lead landscape designer will lead the process to integrate the landscape designs of the artwork and the recreation precinct.

   Recommending that the Subcommittee endorse the proposal to fund $80,000 landscaping costs of the David Lange Memorial artwork over two years from the Citywide Artworks Fund, and that officers continue working with the David Lange Memorial Trust project manager and the artist to integrate the David Lange Memorial artwork into stage two of the Otahuhu Recreation Precinct development project.

10. REQUEST FOR REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PUBLIC ARTWORKS, AUCKLAND ART GALLERY

    B Railey
    Artworks Coordinator	10 September 2007

    Reporting on the proposed redevelopment of the Auckland Art Gallery, which requires the removal and re-siting of three public artworks. The resource consent for the proposed redevelopment of the Auckland Art Gallery, currently under appeal, has been upheld by the Environment Court in its Interim Decision (31 August 2007) pending a design alteration to one part of the proposed roof. Construction, currently scheduled from December 2007 to September 2010, necessitates the removal and storage of the artworks. The artworks affected are Opened Stone by Hiroaki Ueda, Sappho by Aleko Kyriakos, and Double L Excentric Gyratory by George Rickey. It is considered that the three public artworks meet conditions II and III of the criteria of initiating a re-siting or removal review process.

    Recommending that Double L Excentric Gyratory by George Rickey be removed, stored and re-sited near its current location as part of the redevelopment of the Auckland Art Gallery, and that Opened Stone by Hiroaki Ueda and Sappho by Aleko Kyriakos be removed and stored pending the Auckland Art Gallery construction works commencing in December 2007.

11. ISSUE OF COPYRIGHT FOR PUBLIC ARTWORKS

    S Glen
    Arts Planner	12 September

    Providing a response to a resolution passed by this Subcommittee at its meeting on 25 July 2007, which reads inter alia:

    2. "That officers report back to the Arts, Culture and Recreation Committee on issues around the recent court decision and the implications for artists, trusts and public institutions in relation to commercial use of images, case law in Australia, and the merits of supporting an appeal or seeking legislative change."

    A process is currently being undertaken to respond, which involves officers seeking legal advice from the council legal team on the issues and implications on what council can do to respond to any potential issues in regards to the legal decision, further research on what is occurring internationally (in particular Australia) in relation to the commercial use of images of public art, and consultation with key relevant agencies, such as Artist Alliance, Creative New Zealand and the Ministry of Culture Heritage.

    Recommending that the memorandum of the Arts Planner, dated 12 September 2007, be received, noting that a full report on the findings of this investigation will be presented to the relevant committee of council in early 2008.
