15 Minutes of Fame is a newly-commissioned collective video work by artist collective, The Killing, currently showing at Plomacy Gallery. 

The Killing has developed a signature style as an artist collective which embodies and explores playfulness, naivety, queerness, and honouring the inner child in their joint practice. 

Their video work, 15 Minutes of Fame, is set within the premise that everyone is world-famous for 15 minutes in the future, interrogating the politics of being seen, perceived, and the hunger for fame. 

Sof caught up with members Venus Blacklaws and Daniella Bay about the show.

Throw is an exhibition of new paintings by Philip Kelly at Charles Ninow Gallery.

Showing a continuation of Kelly’s long-time ‘turntable’ painting series, this new body of work shows a shift in Kelly’s process by replacing the record player as a mode of making with the electric potter’s wheel. These abstract images are bright explorations of form and colour through a process of applying, removing, and manipulating paint on a rotating surface to form works that are almost rhythmic and musical in nature, speaking to the exploration of the interrelationship between music and art, which drives much of Kelly’s artistic practice. 

Sof had a kōrero with Philip Kelly about the show and these themes.

This week, Auckland council is facing scrutiny as Council chief executive Phil Wilson investigates the liquidation of a company owned by chief of staff, Jaswant Singh. 

In other news, Auckland Council is reinvigorating calls for stronger powers and the dog control act, as community leaders report a crisis of abandoned and roaming dogs across Auckland.

As well, a recent survey has found that local alcohol policy changes enacted at the end of 2024 have had a positive impact in Auckland. But one community advocate believes the council should not be complacent about improving policies to make the community safer against the harms of alcohol.

Tuesday Wire Host Sara spoke with Shane Henderson about all of these topics, starting with Singh’s company liquidation
