<p><strong>Sparking Your Interest</strong>
Artist Hilaire Campbell explores the uninhabited space and beauty of Christchurch's substations
Date: 18 August 13 September 2008
Place: Our City O-Tautahi, Christchurch</p>
<p>This story is about the buildings themselves - about the way people behave around them. Theyre in your back yard and my back yard. Monumental blocks of fancy concrete, tacked with old trellis. They are a convenience and a resting place, but offer no shelter because their recesses are very shallow. With double doors and windows, they look like houses, faces even- -but until recently, nobody lived in them, nobody loved them, nobody wanted them.</p>
<p>Hilaire Campbell is a Christchurch based painter, illustrator and writer.</p>
