Throw is an exhibition of new paintings by Philip Kelly at Charles Ninow Gallery.
Showing a continuation of Kelly’s long-time ‘turntable’ painting series, this new body of work shows a shift in Kelly’s process by replacing the record player as a mode of making with the electric potter’s wheel. These abstract images are bright explorations of form and colour through a process of applying, removing, and manipulating paint on a rotating surface to form works that are almost rhythmic and musical in nature, speaking to the exploration of the interrelationship between music and art, which drives much of Kelly’s artistic practice.
Sof had a kōrero with Philip Kelly about the show and these themes.
Arahi is up in the studio for a kōrero with Milly and Rosetta about his new bilingual waiata 'Mai Tawhiti' featuring Anna Coddington - out today! Whakarongo mai nei!
15 Minutes of Fame is a newly-commissioned collective video work by artist collective, The Killing, currently showing at Plomacy Gallery.
The Killing has developed a signature style as an artist collective which embodies and explores playfulness, naivety, queerness, and honouring the inner child in their joint practice.
Their video work, 15 Minutes of Fame, is set within the premise that everyone is world-famous for 15 minutes in the future, interrogating the politics of being seen, perceived, and the hunger for fame.
Sof caught up with members Venus Blacklaws and Daniella Bay about the show.
