The Art & Industry Trust has announced changes for the next SCAPE Biennial in Christchurch, stating that "SCAPE 2010 will offer fewer pieces, selected against different criteria and a different process. More than two-thirds of the artworks will be from New Zealand artists, with a number of projects targeting the wider community for involvement." A curatorial group has been established, with three members: convenor Blair French, artist Julia Morison and landscape architect William Field.
Meanwhile, artists have been announced for next year's Auckland Triennial: Starkwhite's blog has the details.
That just leaves us waiting for an announcement from City Gallery about whether Prospect (the not-quite-biennial) will be taking place next year.

The Auckland Triennial website
It seemed fair to post on this too, after yesterday's critique of the Telecom Prospect 2007 website
Auckland Triennial website
First off, the '07 Triennial site is a whole lot simpler than (a) previous Triennial websites and (b) the Prospect site.
2001 Triennial
2004 Triennial
2001 Prospect
2004 Prospect
Its got lots of white space, it fills the screen, and works with the usual expanding left-hand nav. The design may not be inspired, but it's easy to navigate and read.
The site has a print screen function, and The Supporters section has embedded links for all the sponsors (both missing from Prospect '07).
On the down side - only one image per artist (here's the Phil Collins page as an example), and some looooong pages. The Events pages, for example, might have benefited from using a table / calendar format.
Interestingly, my favourite section is the most administrative: the Visit section. Nicely laid out, pretty (and readable) maps and easy to follow.
The Triennial site doesn't have any Web 2.0 features - no interactive, no commenting, no podcasts (which I should have given City Gallery credit for, come to think of it). But it does a good job of delivering information and not pissing you off.
