Australian artists Jan Berean & Pat Foster took the “please don’t touch the art works” of the public museum to new heights in their Scape installation Old thoughts and New Ideas; Proposition for Public Sculpture. Works from the Christchurch Art Gallery, including a figurative portrait of Bill Sutton by Tom Taylor, were skied out of reach, out of harm’s way (barring an earthquake) and, to all intents and purposes, out of sight.
