Bill Culbert and Ralph Hotere: P.R.O.P.

25 July - February 2010

This highly charged installation piece was originally made in response to changes made to the headland at Observation Point, and is an important reminder that artists throughout history have both galvanised socio-political issues and been agents for holding powerful organizations to account. P.R.O.P. is one of the first major collaborative works by Ralph Hotere and Bill Culbert, who share a profound and ongoing connection with the Port Chalmers community, and has been the

catalyst for a number of other substantial projects.
