Stations of the cross is an art exhibition held every easter in Hamilton. In 2009 the location will be once again be the Hamilton Gardens. To review the stations visit the review and respond section. More about the 2009 exhibition is in the exhibition info section.

Stations of the Cross is now in its 6th year of Exhibition. Last year 3,500 people soaked up the atmosphere of the Hamilton Paradise Gardens under moonlight and stars to commemorate the Easter festival. Unique to Hamilton in the outdoors, the Stations Collective invites artists to explore each event in the last hours of Jesus Christ’s death, from the last supper to the resurrection. The Stations will again this year be a range of reflective, static, moving and provocative art installations. New this April will be access to the Japanese Garden for an enlightening meditation, as well as an ANZAC tribute on the open green. Leafa Wilson, artist and curator of Waikato Musuem, is for the first time too, exhibiting a new work for the Resurrection. A meaningful experience for all people of Hamilton, art lovers, religious, spiritual … or not, is also guaranteed.

This year we will be allowing you the punter, to download commentaries of the scripture/and or the artists insights, to listen to at each station as you journey through the gardens.
That dreadful beam
that Jesu bore
knot made from pine
but ancient tree
that bore a bitter fruit...
