A weekend treat

Beginning in Dunedin in 2005, and subsequently taking place in Auckland, Hamilton, Christchurch, New Plymouth and as far off as Santiago Chile, sound artist Kaleb Bennett's 'City Tours' are coming to Welly for the first, and last time!!!

Take a spin around the city in a (kick ass) van, customised to deliver a live site-specific audio visual performance. 

This is a curious, atmospheric, evocative and just plain different collision of subculture, art and performance that shouldn't be missed. 

Tours are FREE, approximately 15 minutes long and leave in groups of 5. They begin officially at 10am, Saturday April 25 outside Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand. (Although the project is unaffiliated with Te Papa)

Preview viewing Friday evening, April 25 from 6.30pm. Tours leaving from upper Cuba Street at Able Smith Street intersection. Look out for the sandwich board, and wait for the next ride if the van is not there. Rides last as long as people queue.
