Heidi chats to Russ Flat (Ngaati Kahungunu) about how it feels to win a Wallace Award for the second time around - this time the big Paramount Award for his psychologically compelling work 'Kooruru (Knucklebones)'. Next up Peter Gouge talks about his show 'Everything Stops for the Baby' at Melanie Roger Gallery, and we ponder the credibility of the old constructivist ideas his show makes reference to.. whether objects can really be 'capitalist' or 'comrade'. Then Robbie Fraser (Ngaati Porou) discusses geometric abstraction and his second solo show this year, opening at Precinct 35 in Pooneke this Thursday.
Peter also opens up about his mother's tragic diagnosis with a neuro-musculuar condition many years ago, and some provocative considerations related to David Seymour's end of life euthanasia bill which has just opened for voting. Contributions from listeners could warrant whole shows on their own here. Most importantly read the bill before you vote!
Radio Mother co-host, Joel, spoke to Lucky from beet-wix, about their upcoming gig in Tāmaki Makaurau with Paradox Princess and Talmar, as well as them coming up to the city for the 44th CANZ Composers Workshop!
