Matthew Galloway is a Pōneke based artist known for his research-lead practice in which he navigates his making through this design sensibility, examining the infrastructures within our everyday lives. Producing socially engaged installations that include sculpture, prints, and video work.

His current exhibition Watch History at Sumer continues Galloway's approach to the world through this design landscape. Producing an installation of over 70 engraved iPhone 16 on luxury modular couches, developed during his time at the McCahon House residency earlier this year. 

Over 70 iPhones engraved in fragments of text, taken from lines and closed captions from various films and tv shows that the artist watched. Showcasing an unusually fixed screen with a watch history that removes itself from all context, media and human. Creating a dynamic, and at times absurd array of text in which the viewer encounters at their own pace and path navigation.

Maya had a chat with Matthew about the show and overall practice.

Maya caught up with Pōneke-based artist Matthew Galloway about his exhibition Watch History on at Sumer Gallery. 

And Sofia had a kōrero with Hiria Anderson-Mita (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Rereahu) about her show PĀ - Te Huarahi ki te Kāinga - Finding My Way Home currently on at Tim Melville Gallery. 

Whakarongo mai! x

Hiria Anderson-Mita (Rereahu, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Apakura) is an Ōtorohanga-based painter whose practice depicts the everyday lives of the people of her community – often portraying landscapes or these tender, intimate moments in domestic and communal environments, but also the political and social environment of today that shapes contemporary Māori life.

In her current solo exhibition, PĀ - Te Huarahi ki te Kāinga - Finding My Way Home, on at Tim Melville Gallery, each painting locates and portrays a site of history and connection within the rohe of Ōtewa, Rangitoto Tuhua and the surrounding pā of Ngāti Maniapoto and Rereahu. Tracing the footprints of her tūpuna, Anderson-Mita’s inquiry sees her painting the pā tuna, the kohatu, the maunga, and the awa that were once sources of sustenance for entire communities – bringing these subjects into light as an avenue to share her knowledge of this area with others.

Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason talks to Kiwi actor (and long-time bFM listener) Jay Ryan about his new show, The Ridge, screening on Sky Open, SkyGo and Neon from October 21. A Scotland-New Zealand co-production, the six-part series is a gothic mystery set in rural Aotearoa. The pair discuss the mysterious quality of small towns, why he still loves working here, and how he got his big break right downstairs from the studio by the quad.
