Alex Laurie is a Tamaki Makaurau based artist, working amongst sculpture and installation in response to site specific and architectural contexts.

The title of his current show on at Grace, Nit, is a three letter homonym referring to:

1. The egg or young form of a louse or other parasitic insect

2. A foolish person

3. A unit of luminance used to measure brightness

Within Nit Laurie resumes his long standing fascination with vessels. A magical sculptural water vessel awaits viewers as they enter the gallery. Luring them in closer through its hypnotic circular movements of 5 wooden goblets amongst a bath of milky water.

Venturing further into the gallery, a scullery of translucent spoons and ladles quickly shift into these illusionary ciphers that nod to the form of an egg. Sinking in and out of their surroundings, refracting the light as they fall between.

Maya had a kōrero with Alex Laurie about the show, and overall practice.

This month, a number of council body reforms have come into effect in the Auckland Council, fulfilling Mayor Wayne Brown’s promise to address issues and implement community feedback into the council’s format.

The three new divisions in the Auckland Council to improve organisation include the Auckland Urban Development Office, the  Property Department, and an Economic Development Office, each of which are intended to make decision making more effective and accessible to the public.

As well, with the persisting cold temperatures and rainy weather hitting Auckland this Winter, I wanted to discuss the topic of homelessness in Auckland’s city centre, and to what extent the council is working to support those rough sleeping in the CBD

This week’s second phase of the national covid-19 inquiry has seen public hearings from the community and experts talking about the wider impacts of mandates and lockdowns during the pandemic.

As health experts are urging the government to anticipate and better prepare for a future pandemic, and people in all sectors across New Zealand still work through the ongoing effects of Covid-19, this inquiry needs to inform critical decision making and processes for the central government. 

Speaking more about the inquiry and the general effects of Covid-19, I spoke with public health expert Sir Collin Tukuitonga about his research findings and the importance of pandemic preparedness, as well as Restaurant Association chief executive Marisa Bidois about the need to support businesses and hospitality in New Zealand
