"New Zealand painter Andre Hemer’s unique umbrella art project recently came to life on the front lawn of the AUCKLAND GIRLS GRAMMAR SCHOOL with 256 students standing in formation holding umbrellas aloft to form the word CURE. From the air the work had a “digital precision” as first the C, then the U, R and E opened to form the word. A collaborative event involving the artist in Berlin, together with Art for a Cure curator Paul Baragwanath, AGGS and David Ponting Architecture which provided the architectural drawing. The event, part of the "Art for a Cure" exhibition, was documented from a helicopter thanks to Bayley’s Real Estate agent Marnie Adams. To be part of this living, moving artwork that flowers in the rain, buy the umbrella designed by André Hemer from here."The Art for a Cure exhibition is now on at Hopetoun Alpha, Auckland, culminating in a closing event and auction on Friday 30th October. Exhibition catalogue downloadable here.
