After first occupying vacant spaces in a post-stock-market-crash Auckland in the mid-1990s, public art curators ‘Letting Space’ re-emerged in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis. Confronted by the thin net of social welfare, the waste of the capitalist system and the climate emergency, it brokered spaces for artists to think and act radically, outside gallery walls.
A big and bright new book out of Massey University Press, ‘Urgent Moments’ chronicles these projects the artists that drove them.
To hear about the projects, Frances caught up with editors Mark Amery and Sophie Jerram.

Tāmaki Makarau singer-songwriter Nganeko joins bFM to discuss their latest sirenic single 'Simple Illusions' produced by Brandon Haru and Brent Parks.
Born from a trasitional period of life of "finding my feet", Simple Illusions explores vunerability and the creation of walls and boundaries that are, ultimately, just an illusion. As Nganeko puts it: "we keep ourselves in a rut sometimes and just gotta do something... go outside!"
Listen to Nganeko chat with Sofía about sonic inspirations, Casio watches, and hit chemical manufacturing film Dark Waters.
