Artbank with Theo

Heidi talks to Owen Connors about SISSYMANCY, the show he organised at play_station Gallery in Wellington. A group of queer artists from around Aotearoa collaborated on some quilts, exquisite corpse style.

Body Matter is a new show at AUT.  Body Matter is curated by members of the Artists in Education Collective Aotearoa (AiECA) - Anya Henis, Cathlin Ward-Michell, Aya Yamashita, Emma Thomsen, Karen Turner, with Janita Craw and Ophelia King. They present work and ideas conceived with/for/by Primary Schools. 

We hear from Xander Dixon, about the peaks and pits of national parks, and how he has addressed them in the 4x4 show at Artspace. We also hear from Maraea Timutimu about her  new work for the Auckland Museum, as well as work with NZTA to do with new roads in Ngai te Rangi territory, Tauranga. 

Walking about is a series of performative and participatory walks that travel across Auckland with Te Hau ā Uru – the West Wind.

The walks are artworks – guided experiences leading audiences and participants across Auckland – created by twelve artists: Suzanne Cowan, Vanessa Crofskey, Christina Houghton, Melissa Laing, Jeremy Leatinu’u, Andrew McMillan, Richard Orjis, Rosanna Raymond, val smith, Pita Turei, Layne Waerea and Becca Wood.

Tom talks to Christina Houghton and Melissa Laing, the projesct's founders, about the concept. They also talk about some of the artists involved, including a little bit about their own practices.
