Three art projects will be completed at Auckland's Tank Farm development by the time of next year's Rugby World Cup. After being mothballed to make way for the Britomart station makeover, Michio Ihara's stainless steel Wind Tree will be sited at Jellico Plaza. The other two art projects are Sounds of Sea, a collaborative work by Aamu Song and Johan Olin, and an installation in and on a cement silo by Anthony McCall who visited New Zealand earlier this year for his exhibition at the Adam Art Gallery.

More projects are planned. They are being rolled out by the City Council's public art manager working with an art advisory panel consisting of Trish Clark (Chair), Judy Darragh, Mei Hill, David Irwin, Gwynneth Porter, Chris Saines, Nicholas Stevens and Ri Williamson.
