FANFARE by Neil Dawson
'Fanfare', a sculpture by artist Neil Dawson will be located at the northern entrance to Christchurch city in 2014.
This video is an impression of how Fanfare will look when installed.
Valued at $2 million, it was commissioned for the City of Sydney for the 2005 New Year celebrations. It was suspended off Sydney Harbour Bridge for three weeks. After it was taken down, Fanfare was gifted to Christchurch by the City of Sydney.
The sculpture is 24 metres high, 20 metres across and weighs 25 tonnes. It includes 360 pinwheel fans 1-metre in diameter which spin in the wind.

SCAPE Public Art - Fanfare Launch Video
How do you extend the design life of a system from 15 days to 15 years? That was the challenge put to our team for the Fanfare project. Originally designed for a 15 day design life the Fanfare sculpture has been revitalised and will become an enduring public art piece with a design life of 15 years. We re-engineered the fan hub and put it to the test – including wind testing at speeds of up to 180km/h. To find out more, check out
