Today on Various Artists!

Sofia had a kōrero with Senior Curator of Global Contemporary Art at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Natasha Conland, about the gallery’s newest exhibition - Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey.

Eliasson is an Icelandic–Danish world renowned artist known for sculptured and large-scaled installation art employing elemental materials such as light, water and air temperature to enhance the viewer’s experience, often speaking to a broader reflection of the history of human interaction with the environment and its impact, raising awareness about the climate crisis and the climate’s impacted state.

Beth had a kōrero with artist Chloe Summerhayes about her exhibition of recent paintings at Suite Gallery. Summerhayes is a visual artist who often explores themes of the subconscious in her work.

Sofia had a kōrero with fine art dealer and gallerist Charles Ninow about his new gallery which opened on Karangahape Road last week, and the current exhibition it’s showing by Ralph Paine - Leaves from a Pillow Book.

And for Stage Direction this week, Alice Canton joined us in the studio to give us her 2024 theatre round up of the year.

Whakarongi mai!

Chloe Summerhayes is a visual artist who often explores themes of the subconscious in her work. Her recent works are currently being exhibited at Suite Gallery in Ponsonby alongside those of artist Jeremy Piert.

Suite writes that Summerhayes’ work ‘often references the romantic and phantasmal history of painting whilst contending with the anxieties of the contemporary world.

'[Her] practice reflects the complex nature of mortal existence by finding and straddling the ‘in between’ spaces regarding dualities such as reduction/addition, minimalism/excess and abstraction/figuration.’

Beth caught up with Chloe about her recent works.

Charles Ninow is a new gallery space that has recently opened at 102/203 Karangahape Road. 

Ninow is a dealer, auctioneer, and promoter of fine art in Aotearoa who draws inspiration from the first-principles approach of New Zealand’s earliest commercial galleries of the 1960s and 1970s, believing in the transformative power of art by committing to expanding its audience.

Ralph Paine: Leaves from a Pillow Book is Ninow’s first and opening exhibition in this new space, continuing on from some of the less well known artists and projects he worked on and championed at his former boutique gallery and auction house, Bowerbank Ninow. 

Sofia caught up with Charles about the new space and the exhibition by Paine.
