Join Nicholas Lindstrom and Beth Torrance-Hetherington for kōrero with artists and creative types from the wide art world of Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond!
It has been a year (well, sort of) since various artists came to air on bFM. It sounds like a bad record name, but because this is our last week of various artists for the year we're taking you through the ‘Best Of Various Artists’. Whakarongo mei nei!
Coming up at the Small Rave exhibition space at 74 Karangahape Road, artist, DJ and Splore co-founder Jamie Larnach is showcasing his exhibition ‘How we Human’.
This goes into his unique world view and perception of how we live as humans, elaborating on themes of consciousness, quantum physics and individual definitions of reality.
The winner of the 2023 Portage Ceramics awards has recently been announced as Jino Jeong, for his work Celestial Thread: A Tapestry of Sunshine and Spiderwebs.
Jino is a Tāmaki Makaurau based ceramicist, who was born in Seoul and studied ceramics at Kyonggi University in South Korea.
The pieces in Celestial Thread were praised for their meticulously crafted forms defining volume through lines in space.
Frances had a chat to Jino to learn more about his entry.
Over at the ArtPaper HQ on Lorne Street, painter Isabella Dampney is showcasing a mixture of the work she made during her masters and in the few months after.
The show, titled Going Commando goes between various themes, circulated around Isabella's childhood and the pieces of media that informed it.
That’ll be opening next week. Liam had a chat with her about the exhibition and more.
Liam has a chat with Isabella Dampney about her exhibition opening at the ArtPaper HQ next Friday.

Frances speaks to Creative New Zealand’s Tracey Monastra and Dr James Wenley about New Mirrors: strengthening arts and culture media for Aotearoa New Zealand, a qualitative study based on insights from 52 interviews with arts and media professionals.
Firstly, we have Cameron McCurdy in the studio to chat about neglect comics, their new archive of Aotearoa comics.
Liam also speaks to Creative New Zealand’s Gretchen La Roche about their new funding programmes.
Frances speaks to curator Felixe Laing about Food Futures, a pop-up art restaurant, exploring the future of our food at Te Tuhi’s Parnell Project Space, as well as talking with with Ruth Buchanan and Prairie Hartchard-McGill about Sunlighting opening at Artspace.
And, to round off the show, we will take you through the art guide for Tāmaki Makarau this week.
Food Futures is a two-night pop-up art restaurant happening over the evenings of December 1st and 2nd, exploring the future of our food, first from te ao Māori perspective and then on the second evening, through the lens of sustainability and collaboration.
For Food Futures the Chez Derriere gallery at Te Tuhi’s Parnell Project Space will function as an explorative art restaurant where diners are invited to join a group of inspiring artists, designers, chefs and food writers for a meal, to celebrate, discuss and imagine the future of food. To hear about it, Frances caught up with curator Felixe Laing.
