Transplasticize (verb) - to transform the appearance of an object, with a hand applied covering which changes in plasticity.
On an dark April night, New Zealand installation artist John Radford and his team stealthily plastered, shaped and sculpted 3.4 tonnes of clay, covering the entire Wellington Bucket Fountain.
Journey alongside Radford as he plots, prepares, implements and exhibits the 'Transplasticism' to an unsuspecting Wellington populace.
Includes a score by the critically acclaimed 'SJD' and exclusive interviews with Bucket Fountain designer Graham Allardice. In The Night Kitchen is a sticky celebration of New Zealand's most infamous public fountain and one artist's entropic commentary on our heritage.
