elle spoke to Gabriella of The Femcels about their album released January this year I Have To Get Hotter, produced by Ike Clateman (Bassvictim). Gabriella talks her and Rowan’s first meeting, lying, how to get over a crash out, the hoax of them being stylists and Pitchfork.
The Femcels are an electronic duo based in London, comprised of Gabriella and Rowan (Worldpeace DMT). A raw, unflinching, controversial and playful first outing by the duo speaks to the ugliness and discomfort of the female experience. It’s awesome.
Holly Shervey joins Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason to talk about her new show Crackhead, which charts the trials and tribulations of a young woman sent to mental health facility The Laast Resort to deal with her addiction issues. Shervey discusses how her own experiences in a mental health unit informed the show, how the whole series came together, and what they used for that visceral faeces scene.
Crackhead is airing on Sky New Zealand’s TV3 and streaming on 3NOW.
Jude Stevens is a Tāmaki-based artist who works amongst a practice of sculptural installation, and photography. His work often both circulating and reflecting on various materials, and structures that are connected to Aotearoa’s colonial histories.
His current exhibition at RM, Goldies Grove presents a sculptural installation of found uku and fallen Kauri, that reflects on the colonial implications of Goldies Bush. An area with a rich history of mass Kauri deforestation, as well experiencing the ongoing effects of Kauri dieback, a soil-borne pathogen.
Stevens draws from these histories and offers up a beautiful installation that seeks to honor these raw treasured materials, and their individual histories.
Maya caught up with Jude about the show and overall practice.
