Hundertwasser  by christinav

Hundertwasser

The official opening was yesterday. A sketch of this building was drawn by Hundertwasser in the 90's. After much toing and froing in 2015 there was a binding referendum in the local council elections and it was voted in. The building too 3 years.

Like Alice in Wonderland, interactive works of art are a blast and so much fun

Now I am curious, I wonder if you like it?

@yaorenliu yes there's lots of very talented and creative artwork there, so overall I'm a fan (there's a part of me which wonders why we are celebrating a white European guy when NZ has some amazing artists but that doesn't take away from the fact that the art work is impressive).

@christinav haha, great reflection, I remember thinking the same when I visited the toilet about a decade ago (btw is this another hundertwassertoilet? Or new one?)

@sporenmaken this is a new one - think the toilets x100, it's huge, it has a cafe, art gallery etc inside and is in Whangarei rather than Kawakawa.

@christinav wow... that sounds worth a visit!

It will become such an iconic building for Whangarei. I must go see it next time I am up there.
