Derek Jarman was a pioneering artist whose work was unapologetic and defiant.

The artist's place as an influential gay rights activist is cemented in his work that survives him.

30 years after Jarman passed away from complications relating to AIDS, his work will be exhibited in Aotearoa for the first time.

Derek Jarman: Delphinium Days co-curated by Lisa Beauchamp, Curator of Contemporary Art at Gus Fisher Gallery, City Gallery Wellington Senior Curator Aaron Lister, and Michael Lett opens at Gus Fisher Gallery on the 15th of June. 

Nicholas spoke to co-curator Lisa Beauchamp about the landmark exhibition. 

Lots on the show today! Rosetta is producing while Stella is off having an Aussie holiday, we've got Travelling Tunes with Dr Kirsten Zemke, Phoebe from Revulva phones in to chat about their new single 'Bush Bash', and Diaz Grimm comes up to the studio to chat about his new album 'Māui and the Sin'! Also - a couple of big announcements about the future of The Wine Cellar + Whammy, and our beloved host Rachel is hanging up her headphones after 5 years in the hot seat! All these feels, plus prizes and great tunes. Whakarongo mai nei!
