Studio X is an exhibition by Ōtepoti-based artist Graham Fletcher, currently on at Gow Langsford Gallery. 

Fletcher is known for his representations of architecture, interiors, art, and the domestic, bringing together contemporary and customary forms, and intermixing Western high art and indigenous traditions in his paintings. 

Inspired by the likes of Mattisse’s The Pink Studio (1911), in this new body of work, Fletcher reflects on the intimate artist’s studio as his locational subject, transforming the physical space of artmaking into art itself. 

Not depicting any one specific studio or space, the paintings extend an interest in Fletcher’s practice in the ways in which he can visually communicate complex cultural discourses between Western and non-Western settings, often in a contemporary Pacific and New Zealand context, speaking to his own Samoan and European heritage.

Sofia had a kōrero with Graham Fletcher about Studio X and his process. 

Freya Burnett is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the thematic exploration of magic and female ecstasy through her sculpture and immersive moving image installation practice. 

Her current exhibition Essence on at the Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead, presented in association with Plomacy Gallery, showcases a mesmerising textural landscape of the senses, through projected imagery and a sonic soundscape created by Fergus Waveforms.

Essence pulls viewers into its feminine vocabulary of imagery that shifts and morphs in space through each stage of the work's existence. Dew-dropped botanical imagery slipping into mirrored jewels and reflecting light like one and the same. Blurring the lines between objects and pulling them into their own enchanting visual realm.

Coming together in an ephemeral fugue, Furgus’s constructed sonic soundscape pulls the work further into its own interior atmosphere. Creating a space of layered visual languages that usher viewers into an alternative world that seeks for a conscious and passionate embrace of enchantment.

Maya caught up with artist Freya Burnett, alongside accompanying sound artist Fergus Waveforms, about the show.

New video footage of the interior of the vandalised St James Theatre has been released by Auckland Central MP Chlöe Swarbrick, showing fungi growing on damp floors, damaged electrical fittings and roof, as well as an exposure to the weather and rain, and foundation-eroding dampness.

Swarbrick has written an open letter calling for the government to match the Auckland Council's $15 million commitment to restoring the building. She says this decision can't be kicked down the road any more and that the revival of the theatre will secure Queen Streets' status as a buzzing destination that will provide space and a place for Auckland's creative community.

Built in 1928, St James Theatre once hosted many shows and concerts. St James Theatre is also regarded as a Category 1 Heritage building, meaning it is a historic places are of special or outstanding historical or cultural significance or value. 

However, Building owner Steve Bielby says thieves and vandals had 'gutted' the once historic site.

Joe spoke to the owner of St James Theatre, Steve Bielby as well as Green Party MP for Auckland Central Chlöe Swarbrick, about why the revitalisation of St James Theatre is so significant to Auckland.
