The Mover

Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand · 2010, enhanced 2018

Heimler and Proc made an impact when first stepping into the New Zealand art scene in 2010 with one of their most significant and standout public works, The Mover, a large-scale mural on the exterior of the Museum Art Hotel, now the QT Wellington.

In depicting physical movement, The Mover portrays an important aspect of the history of the Museum Art Hotel, its relocation across the road. This move paved the way for the opening of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, in the early 1990s.

The mural was voted the second-best outdoor artwork in Wellington in 2011, and has also been featured in the Lonely Planet Guide, Discover New Zealand.
