Masons Screen

Supported by Wellington City Council and programmed by CIRCUIT Artist Film and Video Aotearoa New Zealand, Masons Screen presents a new artist’s work each month.

The screen is located on Masons Lane – a pedestrian walkway between The Terrace and Lambton Quay.

Call for proposals

A call for new works is issued via CIRCUIT and Wellington City Council. Works must be made by a Wellington-based or affiliated artist, or as part of a project in the Wellington region.

To keep up to date with deadlines, subscribe to our monthly City Arts Panui e-newsletter.

Sione Faletau, Kupesi o Mason Screen (Patterns of Mason Screen) (2022)

3 May to 30 May 2022

Digital video, sound – 5 minutes

The pre-recorded sound of traffic and footsteps around Masons Screen is used to generate digital Kupesi (a Tongan word for patterns) which flex and transform in response to the hum of the city.

Sione Faletau is an artist based in Auckland.
