Until finally... some love!
More fence art to come, Im thinking. Because that is one hell
of an ugly fence. The Council seems to have made a lot ofchanges, torn down a lot of buildings, built a gazillion new
roads, but completing the projects is taking forever and we are
left with quite a few wastelands.
The latest I hear with the area they flattened for the park by
the Basin Reserve is that it isnt going ahead due to a funding
cut. What are they going to do with the barren land and wire
fence?
I suppose I should be grateful that they give us no end of
issues to make fence art commentary on. :/

William Lee Plunket, 5th Baron Plunket, GCMG, KCVO, KBE
(19 December 1864 24 January 1920) was a British diplomat
and administrator.
Born in Dublin, he was educated at Harrow and Trinity CollegeDublin. His parents were William, 4th Lord Plunket, the arch-
bishop of Dublin in 1884-97, and his wife Anne, the daughter
of Sir Benjamin Guinness.
He entered the Diplomatic Service and was sent to Rome in
1889 as an attach to the British Embassy there. In 1892, he
was appointed in the same position to the embassy in Con-
stantinople, and finally retired two years later. In 1894, he also
married Lady Victoria Alexandrina, youngest daughter of the
1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, by whom he was to have
eight children. Victoria gave her name to Plunket Society,[1] a
New Zealand society promoting the health and well-being of
mothers and children.
Having succeeded his father as fifth Baron Plunket in 1897,
Plunket three years later became private secretary to Lord Ca-
dogan, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at the time, and fulfilled the
same role for his successor, Lord Dudley. He was appointed
CVO and KCVO in 1900 and 1903 respectively, and in 1904he became Governor of New Zealand as well as a KCMG the
following year. He held this post until 1910, when he was ad-
vanced to GCMG. He was later appointed KBE in 1918.
Lord Plunket died aged 55 in London, and was buried in the
citys Putney Vale Cemetery

Cuba Street
Named for the second of the New ZealandCompany ships which brought over a survey party
from England in 1839. The street was originally laid
out in 1841 between what were then waterfront
sections in Manners Street and Vivian Street, then
known as Ingestre Street. It later continued toJervois Quay on land reclaimed in the 1880s.
The street was rebuilt after a fire in 1879.

in 1908 on land donated by a
member, the original Peoples
Palace replaced a SalvationArmy rescue home on the site

provide reasonably priced ac-
commodation in an alcohol-free
environment. It later became
known as The Railton. It is now
a Trekkers Hotel.

In the 1960s everybody went to the butchers to buy their
meat, then to the fruit and veg shop, and the fish shop to buy
their fish. There were a lot of these shops around in Cuba
Street then. (Joshna Dayal, March 2009)
When owners Joshna and Sanjay Dayal first approached me
with the idea of re-branding the identity, I was nervous to say
the least. The reason for this was based around the fact that
Cuba Fruit has been trading on Cuba Street for the last 50 odd
years, and is already such a trusted brand to wholesale andretail customers in the Wellington CBD and wider region. With
the establishment of supermarkets in the early sixties, there
has been a continuing shift from Cuba Fruit being a retail out-
let, to currently 90% wholesale based, supplying restaurants,
bars and cafes around Wellington.
Joshna and Sanjay are the third-generation proprietors of Cuba
Fruit, and enjoy the respons bilities of the selfemployment
and their day-to-day lives on Cuba Street. Joshna recently told
Whitireia Journalism student, Anne Cornish, that being on
the street makes your day interesting, meeting these people,
having your regulars, finding out whats going on. Which is
one of the reasons she is still self-employed instead of taking
advantage of her degree in chemical engineering.

John Langdon (born April 19, 1946) is an Ameri-can graphic designer, ambigram artist, painterand writer.
The son of George Langdon, a teacher at The Epis-
copal Academy in Merion, Pennsylvania, Langdon
attended that school from 1950-1964. He received
his bachelors degree in English from Dickinson
College, graduating in 1968.
A self-taught artist and graphic designer, Langdon
has free-lanced as a lettering artist and logo design
specialist since 1976. Known for his ambigrams,which he began developing in the late 1960s and
early 70s, Langdon featured those and his essays in
the book Wordplay published in 1992.
Langdon is known mostly through his association
with Dan Brown, and the novels Angels and De-
mons, The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol.
The protagonist of these novels was named RobertLangdon as a tribute to Langdon.
RotationalA design that presents several instances of words when rotated
through a fixed angle. This is usually 180 degrees, but rotational am-
bigrams of other angles exist, for example 90 or 45 degrees. The word
spelled out from the alternative direction(s) is often the same, but maybe a different word to the initially presented form. A simple example is
the lower-case abbreviation for Down, dn, which looks like the low-
er-case word up when rotated 180 degrees.

Begin forwarded message:
Hi G - you are making me very jealous. Wish I could hang out! I have added yournews into the newsletter - I had a fixation it was set for Dec (and got my dateswrong again) but of course its all about to happen!!! So dates are amended.
About your response to A E I O U - of course (!) It is whatever you wish to make of it.
I love that. So, the idea is:
A E I O U, a typo/sound installation - where the observer delivers the sound -
constructs five vowels in steel, and lightly stacks them five metres on a first level
terrace in Cuba Street, Wellington, NZ. My first public work, and first typographic
project since TypeSHED11, I was commissioned to make a site-specific installation for
the new Cubana apartments. A recording (which I am going to make when I return!)
will capture the sound element of the installation, from a surprise I L O V E U to the
actual sounding out of the vowels A E I O U - the ranging pronunciations a clue to the
multi-lingual world we live in.
So far:
People recite the vowels - some take time to figure out, others get it immediately, each
say it in their own way - accent, language, dialect ...
Someone read I L O V E U (that was actually Hamish Mckay from the gallery!)
Another response on Eyes flickr was this is smart!! (the image was entitled Sound
piece - which I like, and is actually better than titling it A E I O U )
http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyemagazine/4027080504/in/set-72157622620192166/
Then you respond with the lyrics from hardcore punk band Freeze!
Donald Beekman responded with this:
i saw several smaller pics of the IAEOU project already. great stuff, cath! also very coolto see the work in progress. i just love that workshop athmosphere. funny that you say
its a typo/sound piece with the audience producing the sound.
i also saw another connection with sound. i wonder if you realised this before but the
5-line basis of the letters is the same as in sheet music. music (sound) is written on a
5-line grid.
And so on ... When I get back, I am going to set myself up on the street and record
people making the sound of the work. If you want to know about my other projects onthe waterfront: here you are

The Hallensteins story started back with the birth of the unusually named Bendix Hallenstein
in Germany in 1835. Bendixs parents ran a mill where they made clothes from rags, but Ben-
dix was the youngest in the family, so he wasnt going to be taking over the family business.
Instead he moved to Manchester in England at the age of 17. Manchester didnt really do it for
him so after five years there he joined two of his brothers, Isaac and Michaelis, in Australia.
Guess what they were doing there? Yep, they were following the gold rushes. They all pitched
up at Daylesford, in Victoria, in 1857.
The Hallenstein brothers ran a store in the town selling supplies to miners. The business
nearly went to custard when all three of the brothers set their caps after the same woman
their housekeeper, Mary Mountain. In a scene straight from a Hollywood movie, Bendix
won Marys heart, and the pair went back to England to marry in 1861 (possibly to get away
from Bendixs jilted brothers!).
Two years after their marriage, Bendix and Mary (and the other Hallenstein brothers) followed
another gold rush and came to New Zealand. They opened a store in Invercargill but the lure
of blue cod and oysters wasnt enough to keep them there. Eventually Bendix moved up theline, closer to the action in Queenstown, where he opened another store, selling everything
from food and wine to clothes and ironware. The store was a real success, and soon after Hal-
lenstein opened stores in other gold towns around the region Arrowtown, Lawrence and
Cromwell.
Evidence of Hallensteins time in Queenstown can still be seen (but get there quick before
they pull it down and build more apartments) in the old stone courthouse that he commis-
sioned as mayor. The remains of the grand homestead he built, Thurlby Domain, still stand
near present-day Millbrook.
Despite his long-term link with Queenstown, it was in Dunedin that Hallenstein first got in-
volved in clothing manufacture. Supplying miners throughout Central Otago, Hallenstein soon
realised that good quality mens clothing was hard to come by. In 1873 he established New
Zealands first clothing factory in Dunedin, but financial troubles meant he soon had to sell it.
He leased the factory back, though, and started making ready-to-wear mens clothes using
fabric made at the local Roslyn and Mosgiel woollen mills.
A year later the first Hallensteins menswear store opened in the Octagon in Dunedin, and itwas a hit. Within 25 years there were 34 Hallensteins stores selling mens clothing through-
out the country. The success of the company saw Hallenstein and his family move to Dunedin,
where he also established the Drapery and General Importing Company which you may
know as the now-defunct department store chain, DIC.
Bendix Hallenstein retained control of the company until his death in 1905. The following year
it became a limited liability company. At its peak in 1986 there were 72 Hallensteins stores
around the country, although since then they have been consolidated around the main centres.
In 1987 Hallensteins merged with Glassons, making it this countrys biggest clothing company.
