A cruisy start to Artbank this week, with a bit of Jay-Z and Yellow Magic Orchestra, before Susanna Andrews comes into the studio to cover recent publishing news. Theo and Susanna discuss the nominees for the PANZ Book Design Awards, the popularity of family history as a subject in writing, and what Susanna has been reading. Later in the show, Ian Wedde joins Theo to talk about his latest book The Little Ache: a German notebook, and the rich research and observation within.
Juliana Engberg returns to Artbank to talk Romancing the Collection, a just-opened exhibition she has curated for the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. In the second half of the show, Antje Barke discusses the processes and history underpinning Seven Islands, her exhibition at RM Gallery.
Stay tuned for some epic beats by producer Simphiwe on Fancy New Band, and for some non English TV show and movie recommendations during the second hour :) Highlight recommendations: City of Lost Children, Hometown Chachacha, and Skritek!
