Fully
dressed in black Resene acrylic paint, one building dominated the skyline
and stamped a strong impression on visitors during SCAPE held in Christchurch.
Designed by Nathan Coley, a leading figure in architectural art, the
Black Maria, sited on the roof of the Physics Room gallery, was a recreation
of the rotating saloon stage set that Thomas Edison built for the 1893
silent Western film Black Maria. "The Black Maria" cleverly
posed that the city is a theatrical stage set upon which all city dwellers
act out their public persona as if part of a theatrical cast.
