Stuart McCutcheon, Vice Chancellor of The University of Auckland, speaks with Lucy Austin about the direction of the university and the recent controversy surrounding the closure of the Creative Arts libraries:
In light of recent events such as the library closures and funding to arts being repeatedly cut I thought it was important to have a chat with the man in charge himself, Vice Chancellor Stuart McCutcheon. The most significant criticism has been a lack of communication with both students and staff. With bFM being the university radio station it seemed the perfect platform to open up this dialogue and get to know the Vice Chancellor a bit better. This is part of a two part series, the second half focuses on the library closures and construction work. Lucy Austin started the interview by asking Stuart to share a little bit about how he came to his role.
This weeks on bMovies, Director Andy Deere is one half of the brains behind Bludgeon, the documentary about competitive medieval combat in New Zealand. Swords. Axes. Armour. The name says it all. And 95bFM's Amelia Berry reviews The Green Fog, she reckons it encapsulates funny art. The film is a modern love letter to Hitchcock's Vertigo, cut together from clips of iconic San Franciscan films and TV shows. A surreal romp through cinematic history.

It's Jenn's first show of 2019 and she makes heaps of mistakes! But don't worry, they've all been cut out of this podcast so they now only exist in the fading memory of live listeners and her own deep supressed shame. Tune in to hear tracks from Dolly Parton, Amel Larrieux, Sinkane and, Cowgirl Clue. Is an oxford comma cool? This show also features many questions about astrology </3 are star signs cool? .... Maybe there's a potential segment in this? ?

Today's uiui are connected by themes of somewhat precarious artistic process, as well as varous notions of 'waste'. First Isabella Loudon talks about her show Wastelands, curated by James Tapsell-Kururangi - who is also present to discuss the work. How an artist arrives at the highly original materiality of Isabella's work is a mystery to Heidi, and so an interrogation begins. James actually is cutting it pretty fine catching a flight to Pooneke by oblidging this interview, and so we have to save discussion of his practice for another interview!
Next Mongoose Chen joins Heidi in the studio. Mongoose has an exhibition 'Upcycled Noise' at Audio Foundation running until 28 Whiringa a-nuku, containing an object containing sound created in collaboration with the cacophonic train station construction that Karangahape Road has endured all year. The exhibition also features a video work by JingCheng Zhao featuring Angelu Hu, Yin-Chi Lee, Darrly Chin and Alice Wu - regular collaborators with Mongoose. We discuss Mongoose's preferred mode of practice which is plural and highly responsive to her environment.
