The Snow Line

Michael Poa (One River), Julian Priest (The Greenbench) and friends invite you to join us in a collaborative performance artwork documenting a hikoi that references the Whanganui story of the relationship between Ruapehu and Taranaki.

The performance will take place at:

2pm Sunday 27th June 2010
The Govett Brewster
Corner of King and Queen Street
New Plymouth

The performance responds to a new exhibition by Song Dong now showing at the Govett Brewster.

During the hikoi we will collect snow from above the snow line on Ruapehu, and transport it by road following the Whanganui river to New Plymouth where we will stage a performance. After the performance we will take the snow to the snow line on Taranaki and place it there before returning to Whanganui.
All are welcome to come along, participate or just watch.
