Dance, Dance is artist Kate van Der Drift's current exhibition on now at Sanderson Gallery.
It showcases the artist's time spent at the Waitawa Regional Park, where she was the 2024 Auckland Council artist in residence. During her residency, Kate delved into a new experimental method of cameraless photography. These new methods of Lumen exposures are created by using invasive introduced species from the Waitawa Regional Park and using the specific herbicide that is used to kill that plant.
In a coming together of alchemical entities and experimentation, Kate lands on these beautiful moments of magic—breathtaking images that dance between worlds.
Maya had a chat with Kate about her practice and current exhibition.

I put this mix together over new years and it feels like a reflection of what was and what's to come. There is a mix of some of my most played tracks of 2025, as well as some new unreleased and forthcoming bits from myself and friends. It's all bound by those Echo Train hallmarks of low end and cerebral ear candy. I hope it brings you all good fortune for the year to come :)
AndWahn, AKA Andy, is a Tamaki Makaurau-based electronic artist with a taste for big breaks, big bass, and big feels! In 2019, during a bus ride into town, an old mate sent him a YouTube link to an Omar S mix, and from there Andy?s obsession with electronic music began. He started attending the grand church of the OK Listen club night & sifting through Bandcamp, and thus was beckoned forward into the world of breakbeat, electro, jungle, and footmahi. Andy's recent activity includes his Friendly Potential guest mix, his track "Swollen Grime" on FOOTMAHI 2022, and his collab with Nuance "Clear Blue" on Strange Behaviour's compilation Uneasy Clubbing. For his BFC radio mix, he delivers us a selection of UKG numbers in the first half, before throwing down for the rest with strictly 160 cuts.
