Random occurances of art
On Saturday afternoon Rich and I decided to head to Te Papa to check out an exhibition but on the way there we discovered "The Performance Arcade". What is a Performance arcade you ask? Its a number of small art exhibitions in shipping containers.

Here's a few of my favourite exhibitions - the first one included a whole lot of popped balloons and when you entered the container all you could hear was the sound of balloons popping. It's actually much more impressive than it sounds.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK53NDz5DIKvArZ5ksZC2TNoZr9ukvDRns37PPx_7SG3ne5_D0Xc92R72m5yA9FSNwhNhdEHqc90g2PmPBdlM8HWXbyIGz3Y6OfG2TD4C726YfMn2_onSLqB-bOpoLoUsqeBmuAA/s320/DSCF2010.JPG)
This exhibition featured a map of Wellington. The idea is you choose a flag and write a number on it and then record a memory that happened at that place on the blackboard. The artist was creating a memory map of Wellington which was a really interesting idea. I liked it a lot.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqEb1_51e9pC6kCTPt4gNeBn6aFulb4eASOJj_AaRCc7eH_Mh4fd8yxW1VvOyAeuj5YO00ghYzOYWdqcURLhwxLpVs00MMzeJIaeCFjzSgrJFzKTA95zJkCYFfbfOb4YvWtFIqA/s320/DSCF2015.JPG)
Finally my favourite - a rather old school exercise bike being used to power a record player. This was seriously awesome.
