OFF TRACK is a new public art destination situated between New Lynn and Avondale along the new NL2A pathway. Just as the name intends, OFF TRACK is underpinned by a kaupapa of serious play, off the beaten path.
The vision is to creatively energise the path by showing the work of artists who live in the Whau, with an especial focus on Avondale and New Lynn. From photography to mural work to poetry, musing on art both serious and playful, the enduring narrative of OFF TRACK is to deliver on the unexpected, to disrupt from ordinary, to cut a path to something new.
Brought to life by local leaders and planners for the past ten years, the 2.9km NL2A path through central west Tāmaki is a masterclass in design outcomes that must also meet the practical demands of urban growth. OFF TRACK is contextualised through a cultural lens of enlivening the pathway experience of users while actively nurturing a sense of place.
