New Zealand International Arts Festival
The New Zealand International Arts Festival is a biennial multi-arts festival held in New Zealand’s vibrant capital city, Wellington. The festival aims to enchant, challenge and inspire the hearts and minds of audiences of all ages and backgrounds. These large flags are called “Living Standards”. They were originally commissioned by the Cornish Tate Gallery to celebrate the solar eclipse of 1999. Working in conjunction with the St Ives International organization and the local councils. The flags were designed to work with the exceptional winds coming off the Atlantic. Using a subtle blend of pastel shades, they were conceived to be a roaming program, appearing at three locations over three weeks in West Penwith, Cornwall. Subsequently, the flags went on to New Zealand, again roaming three locations. The final outing for the “Living Standards” flags, was on the island of Terscelling in the Netherlands, as part of the Oerol Festival.
