Interpreting nature's forms is the theme of the week, as Theo is joined in studio by two artists with work showing off Karangahape Road at the moment. First up is Sena Park, who has woven a web of debris and netting with her RM exhibition, Aliveness_Symbiosis_on K-rd. Later in the show Jimmy Solórzano came along to talk about Echoes of the Coromandel, a four channel installation (with guitar) at the Audio Foundation. We also heard some banging tunes, and had a brief art guide to round up the show.
I tēnei ata kei te Hōtaka Parakuihi: We roll in hot from the 2021 Taite Music Awards with an awesome package with the nominees and winners from last night; Rob Bollix chats shape-shifting, classist ants in the Mind Trench; Tim Batt gives us a rundown on the Samoan election and big ol' funds for journalism in Aotearoa in Mediabatt; and Amelia D'Screte gives us a whole damn history lesson in Word Salad while chatting about conlangs! Whakarongo mai, and a big congrats to everyone involved with the Taites!
Two heads are better than one! This week, from ten to eleven, we listened to Robin Williams & Ry Cooder's collaborative cassette Pecos Bill, a rollicking bit of Western fakelore. In the second half of the show Theo was joined by Joseph Nerney and Tom Hinton to discuss their recent exhibition Pamper Beast, as well as painting post-artschool, tattooing, and the allure of the still life.
This week Theo is joined by Teresa Peters, discussing her work ECHOES, which has won the premier award at the 2021 Portage Ceramic awards, and Chelsea Nichols and Aaron Lister, talking about their instagram-based project Curator of Screams.
