The show started at the crack of the hour this week, as Marco Muñiz joined us to talk limes, tacos, and Mexico City, before heading off to work at his fantastic Grey Lynn eatery La Mexicana. We chilled out with some local tunes, then Karamia Müller came in to discuss the collaborative exhibition Slow Boil, open at Artspace Aotearoa from May 29 to August 7. Finally, we had a quick chat with Vera Ellen, who called in from Los Angeles to recommend some Voom.
It's a jam-packed Artbank this week! First up, Prairie Hatchard-McGill and August Ward come in to discuss Hatchard-McGill & Ward, their glamorous Satchi & Satchi & Satchi exhibition. Briar Lawry gives a rundown on the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, describing the process behind the awards and the themes running through this year's nominees. Finally, Theo spoke to Georgie Hill about the experimental watercolours and meteorological suggestions of Prismatic Tectonics, Georgie's exhibition at Visions.
Gavin Hipkins joins Theo in the first half of the show to discuss City of Tomorrow, a moving image work available to view via the Artspace Aotearoa website (at time of broadcast). Later on, the crew from Ōtautahi artist-run space HOT LUNCH consider the project at its conclusion. In the second half of the show, Victoria University Press publisher Fergus Barrowman talks about VUP's forthcoming releases, as well as what he has been reading of late.
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!
