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 Theo. Ka rawe!
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'.
Heidi talks to Owen Connors about SISSYMANCY, the show he organised at play_station Gallery in Wellington. A group of queer artists from around Aotearoa collaborated on some quilts, exquisite corpse style.
Body Matter is a new show at AUT. Body Matter is curated by members of the Artists in Education Collective Aotearoa (AiECA) - Anya Henis, Cathlin Ward-Michell, Aya Yamashita, Emma Thomsen, Karen Turner, with Janita Craw and Ophelia King. They present work and ideas conceived with/for/by Primary Schools.
Sarah Yates is in the studio, talking about her ceramic megaphones. Are they an all powerful gamechanger for the picket line? Perhaps... We hear a bit her upbringing in the driver's seat, car-racing around the north island.
The we hear from architecht and writer Jade Kake - about her numerous pursuits. She is working on two papakāinga housing projects in her home town of Whangarei. She has also been working with Artspace and Xander Dixon to create a piece of writing for their 4x4 publication. We briefly chat about her other writing projects, including forays into fiction.
We hear from Xander Dixon, about the peaks and pits of national parks, and how he has addressed them in the 4x4 show at Artspace. We also hear from Maraea Timutimu about her new work for the Auckland Museum, as well as work with NZTA to do with new roads in Ngai te Rangi territory, Tauranga.
