From: Nic Lane
Dear Wellington City Council,
Are you please able to supply your current agreeement with CIRCUIT Artist Moving Image regarding curating and delivering the Masons Screen, including timelines of when these agreements started/have been renewed.
Can you please supply meeting minutes and calculations as to how the $750 commissioning rate for new works was assessed and how it has been reviewed. Including how it's been tested against your commitment to Living Wage frameworks, and how pay parity for video artists are comparable to those delivering works for the Courtney Place Lightboxes.
Can you please provide the council's definition of public art and how the Mason's screen maintains this with the inherent physical barriers of the site.
What accomodations have been made to ensure video works are accessible to all, and how has the curation ensured it fairly represents disabled artists, please include any data representing this.
How much council investment to date has gone into this Smart Capital urban design, and how has it been assessed against your commitment to 'creating spaces that showcase universal design' in your Accessibility Action Plan 2019.
Yours faithfully,
Nic Lane
