A Century of Modern Art is Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki’s latest exhibition, surveying a century of visionary and influential painters who transformed modern art. 

Exhibiting the likes of Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Vincent van Gogh, and premier examples by pioneering artists of the American and European avant-garde, A Century of Modern Art is an extensive collection of fifty seven works by fifty three artists. 

The exhibition takes the viewer through the evolution of modern art through key defined art movements, beginning with the Impressionists of the 1860s, making its way through movements such as PostImpressionism, Symbolism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. These works revolutionised Western modern art and continue to inspire those in the present. 

Sofia had a kōrero with co-curator and Senior Curator of International Art, Dr Sophie Mathiesson, about the show and working with the Toledo Museum of Art to bring this collection to Tāmaki Makaurau

Deva Mahal is in the studio to perform South Coast feat. Estère - the first track from her forthcoming EP 'Future Classic'. We absolutely loved it, and if you loved it too you'll be able to catch the Pōneke-based artist live in Tāmaki when she's up for her tour in August!

Maya had a kōrero with Raisa Mclean about her current show, Heatwave, on at RM Gallery. 

Sofia had a kōrero with Senior Curator International Art at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Dr Sophie Matthiesson, about the gallery’s latest exhibition - A Century of Modern Art - surveying the visionary painters who transformed Western modern art.

She also had a kōrero with Esther Stone about her show opening at Melanie Roger Gallery next week for Matariki, Taonga Tuku Iho.

Raisa Mclean is a Melbourne based interdisciplinary Artist navigating her practice through a mode of visual song-making. Mclean produces bodies of work that speak to themes of hauntology, and the ephemerality of memory.

In an attempt to hold and to give form to memory, Mclean explores multiple modes of narrative within her current show Heatwave to welcome viewers into an installation of a fragmented diary. Memories of summers, both past present and future, each haunted by the other. 

Maya had a chat with Raisa about her practice and current show Heatwave on at RM.

Taonga Tuku Iho is Esther Stone’s first exhibition with Melanie Roger Gallery, opening next Wednesday as part of Matariki celebrations across Karangahape Road. 

Stone’s practice centres on the stories and knowledge of her iwi, Ngāti Porou, hapū, and whānau, by which whenua and whakapapa are woven within the language and processes of traditional Māori weaving and taniko, which she specialises in. Each work is a product of intensive research, gathering, and weaving, whereby the artist explores potential futures for traditional Māori methods of making.

For her final time hosting Friday Morning Glory, Lucia plays a bunch of vinyl with a psychedelic theme in preparation for the awesome Crying Ivy on Fancy New Band.
