Alicia Frankovich tunes in from Melbourne to speak with Heidi about her performance piece, 'AQI2020', currently showing at The Auckland Art Gallery. She shares her experiences of the insane wildfires that ravaged Australia earlier this year on which this work is based. Alicia's practice has often deconstructed conceptions of bodies, human and non-human, in the process opening up awareness and a sense of possibility about various ways our bodies are less discrete than we tend to take for granted. In line with that, this show has tried to follow threads of connection in the arts practitioners interviewed. Next Natasha Conland takes a call to discuss her role in curating the work for all of us currently stuck in one of the safest Islands in the world right now. And finally, Sophie Sutherland, who is one of the performers in Alicia's piece, tells us about the work from the perspective of a participant. Sophie currently has a show of her own at Audio Foundation, titled 'Ball Park', which runs until the 31st of Whiringa-aa-Nuku, October.
This week's jazz show, lovingly curated by Frances Chan, features kick-ass chicks, local newbies, mad riddims and a nod to the late Mr Watts.
