Barricade no obstacle

Seems like the Heather and Ivan Morison One Day Sculpture, previously posted about has come off without a hitch. Good work!

ODS project volunteers needed to handle art rubbish

Ivan and Heather Morison present their ambitious ODS project Journée des barricades at the corner of Stout Street & Lambton Quay this weekend, Sunday December 14.
Litmus is looking for 10 volunteers to assist with installing and de-installing the work and with minding it over the course of the day (5 minders per 3 hour shift covering Sunday from 8am to 8pm.

Jenny Gillam said "this will be an unprecedented opportunity to work with the artists on realizing a major piece of temporary public sculpture. The experience gained from working on this will be immense and a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about how large scale temporary public art is made."

Apparently the work involves handling a large amount of 'recycled objects' and building a structure from them. It will be quite physically demanding work - but they also need people who can drill holes, bolt stuff, work with strapping, help problem-solve...and work-footwear is a must.

Sadly it's not a paid job - but we have it from Team ODS that catering and good comraderie are provided! If you could help in any way - they'd appreciate it. They will also be giving volunteers a limited edition photograph by the Morisons.
