Julia Holderness is a Ōtautahi-based artist, producing beautiful installations that combine an array of mediums such as mixed media fabrications, ceramics, textile, and painting. Speaking to Holdernesse's continued dialogue and exploration of modernism, specifically to alternative histories of female modernism in New Zealand. 

Within her current show, The Room at Ashenby showing at Sanderson Contemporary Holderness looks to the scene of the Charleston house as a source of inspiration. Presenting a body of hand decorated ceramics, vessels and tiles, alongside selected watercolours from her studio archive. Bringing the viewer into this intimate and domestic site of memory and imagination.

Maya caught up with Julia about the show and overall practice.

Sof had a kōrero with artist Georgia Arnold about her current show at Melanie Roger Gallery, Retreat.

My Friends Are Home II is the second installation of a collection of Millie Dunstall and Cheska Brown’s photographic works, currently showing at Window Gallery. 

Presented on window vinyl and splashed with painted buttermilk, the show sees these semi-transparent photographs depicting the artist's friends in their flats in Tāmaki Makaurau – inviting a certain intimacy and conversation between the images and the viewer themselves. Like a time capsule, the photographs carry qualities of nostalgia and sentimentality, allowing the viewer to have insight into not only what those intimate relationships look like in the artist's lives, but also their own.

The infrastructure commission has identified that there is a $210 billion dollar infrastructure deficit in New Zealand. Unfortunately, due to the lack of available capital New Zealanders lose out on the advantages of high quality infrastructure and the wealth it can generate for the public good. 

To respond to this Kiwisaver Manager Simplicity has created a new company called Infrakiwi. This company would be listed on the stock exchange and would only allow for New Zealanders to invest in it. This company would own and operate key infrastructure assets, generating long term risk adjusted returns and jobs for New Zealanders as well. 

Thursday Wire Producer Sanat spoke to Simplicity’s CEO Sam Stubbs about this proposal and what it means for future generations of New Zealanders
