The most beautiful lifts on campus

Refurbishments of the College of Arts’ Elsie Locke and James Logie buildings on the University of Canterbury (UC) campus have been completed, with the star of the project, showcased at a small event last Friday 25 September, was definitely the artistic lifts.

Sang Kyu Moon, Zara Dolan, Sophie Ballantyne, Irenie How, Olivia Sinclair and Janneth Gil were the student artists selected from a large number of entries.

Office & Gallery Manager at the Ilam School of Fine Arts, Sarah Brown, coordinated the art competition. “We’d like to acknowledge the quality and number of entries, which made the selection process for the small group of judges rewarding and equally challenging. With over fifty entries put forward this was a really great experience for all involved, with the staff who now occupy the building where these works are now on display, already expressing their gratitude for having them in their lives!” she said.  

“We hope that this is the beginning of an ongoing series of works, which will occupy this site and other areas of the campus in the years to come.”

Louisa Peterson, College Operations Manager, first suggested the old lift doors needed, well, a lift. “The outcome, in partnership with Alan Spinks from Signs Inc, was to wrap the existing doors with a fire rated skin and at that point we could choose images. From there, it seemed appropriate to go out to our Fine Arts students in the form of a competition with a prize.”
