In a crammed in show, Heidi chats first to Diane Scott, about showing her work with Melanie Arnold and Belinda Griffiths, in 'Dust and Scratches' at Silo Theatre, and how materiality and phenomenology combine in her practice. Next Julian Chote discusses the innovative muka and branch supports they made many years ago at Elam, considering all the invisible labour that goes into the production of readymade materials, how their work has moved on to something more relaxed since then. Also the mahi around consent they are bringing into highschools. Then Hanna Ngaatai Hegan comes to the studio to elaborate on perceptive comments she sent in last week, around impermanance, death and appreciating the moment, and also how embedding these awareness into consciousness from a very young age equips someone to value their life more fully. Lastly Natasha Matila Smith talks about the billboard series she has up around Ootautahi / Christchurch as part of Scape, and how her work addresses the futility of attempts at intimacy via social media and more.. and we play Visine, a tune by Sheet Sweater featuring cover art from the talented Georgie Hill.
