Artbank has got you sussed for arty stuff happening in Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond. With interviews, live performances, your weekly gallery guide and more - come get some culture in ya with Tom & Heidi. Ka rawe!
Sam, Prairie, and Heidi chat with Owen Connors, artist and curator of the current show at Neo Gracie, Petit a Petit. We discuss building new worlds, queer joy, and how to be an artist in the coming months of virus-related hardship. We are then joined by Tash Keddy, whose show Grind House, closing today, was the debut show at new Auckland gallery, Parasite. We talk about his practice in relation to television, both on and off scree
Prairie, Sam and Heidi talk to Nicola Farquhar about the ecstatic biology of the one and the many. You can check out an example of how this plays out in her painting at Listening, Twitching, currently on at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery. Next we continue the thread of ecstasy as John Walter joins us and we discuss what happens when a virus walks into a bar. His work in Queer Algorithms, now showing at Gus Fisher Gallery, approaches the biology of HIV with a tragicomedic lens.
Heidi and Prairie catch up with museum curator, Tharron Bloomfield and baber Marnie Pou Te Rata. As a museum curator, perhaps taking more of a view of what a practice and its objects tell us about a culture and our world, we talk about Marnie's barbering practice and the adventures it has led to, including a stint with a business in The Netherlands, as a living artform.
Tom talks to Maree Sheehan, whose show Ōtairongo, is due to open at the refurbished Artspace in March. It will form a new type of audio-portraiture, and a fresh way of representing wāhine Māori. Maree talks about the three women she depicts - Moana Maniapoto, Ramon Te Wake, Te Rita Papesch.

Heidi chats to Julia Morison about body horror, tenderness and the remarkable coherence that results from quite non-linear processes, and then continues a trajectory with Yonel Watene from his previous interview about the Te Tuhi show, to a bit of background and how residencies in Mexico spurred on artistic evolution. And Tom throws in a wee word from the lower East side of NYC, joined by Andrew Penya to tell us about the Parlay Project.
Heidi is joined by Kirstin Carlin and Melanie Roger. Kirstin has broadened her usual practice as an artist to guest curating the delectable 'Icecream Salad' at Melanie's gallery, bringing together a community of painters from a vast array of dealer stables. And then Artbank goes nepotism, with Heidi phoning Tom Tuke himself as he resides at Karekare Residency House, sharing the mishaps and hilarity of his rehearsals for his first puppet show 'Paloma and the Do of Death'.
