Guest Host Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli) speaks with Dan Taulapapa McMullin — an artist and poet from Sāmoa i Sasa'e (American Samoa) and an expert on the subject of the colonization of Pacific cultures. Keala and Dan spend time talking about American exploitation via tiki bars, a subject that Dan explored in his film, “100 Tikis.” “100 Tikis” is a 45-minute film/video appropriation art piece, part of an ongoing installation of works on the intersection of tiki kitsch and indigenous sovereignty. “100 Tikis” looks at Hollywood, colonialism, gender, militarism, and activism, through films, cartoons, songs, paintings, photographs, television shows, tourist ads, military propaganda, pornography, tiki bars, activist videos, home movies, and social media. Dan's artist book “The Healer's Wound: A Queer Theirstory of Polynesia” (2022) was published by Pu'uhonua Society and Tropic Editions of Honolulu for HT22 the Hawai'i Triennial. Their artwork has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, Metropolitan Museum, De Young Museum, Musée du quai Branly, Auckland Art Gallery and Bishop Museum. Their film “Sinalela” (2001) won the 2002 Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival Best Short Film Award. “100 Tikis” was the opening night film selection of the 2016 Présence Autochtone in Montreal and was an Official Selection in the Fifo Tahiti Film Festival. Dan's art studio and writing practice is based in Muhheaconneock lands / Hudson, NY, where they live with their partner, and Lenape lands in Hopoghan Hackingh / Hoboken, NJ.

The 50 years between 1920 and 1970 were full of societal and political upheaval. Now a new exhibition at Toi o Tamaki, Auckland Art Gallery, seeks to explore the role women artists had at shaping the art of the time. It's called Modern Women: Flight of Time, and combines more than 80 paintings, sculptures, prints and textiles from well-known artists like Rita Angus and Frances Hodgkins - to those who are lesser known. The exhibition takes its name from the book that accompanies it, offering more detail of the featured artists and their work. Julia Waite has curated the exhibition and talks to Paddy about its significance.

Auckland art gallery has been gifted 15 masterpieces worth $178 million, in what is considered to be one of the most significant philanthropic gifts in local history.  Included are works by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne, in the gift from the late American collectors Julian and Josie Robertson. More than 300 guests gathered for the exhibition opening on Thursday night. Auckland Art Gallery curator Kenneth Brummel spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Berlin-based New Zealand artist Simon Denny likes to explore and play with the intersections of art, power and new technology. He represented New Zealand at the 2015 Venice Biennale with "Secret Power" inspired by the fallout from Edward Snowden's NSA leaks and Five Eyes surveillance technology. His 2018 exhibition "The Founder's Paradox", used the language and logic of board games to highlight competing utopian political visions for New Zealand's future. Denny's latest work "Optimism" is currently on view at Auckland Art Gallery. It consists of two hanging megastructures which are enlarged 3D-printed models of patent diagrams of rocket engine parts by Rocket Lab.

Matariki is next Friday and there's celebrations all across Tāmaki Makaurau. If you're in the CBD, feel free to head over to the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, where there's plenty going on! They have a free event going on where you can purchase kai, shop at te mākete (market), and keep the tamariki busy making crafts inspired by Matariki, as well as performances from Taane Mete and Grammy Award Winner Jerome Kavanagh. Joe spoke to Krissy Taylor, the Senior Manager for Public Programmes at the Auckland Art Gallery about the event.

Before I launch into the usual litany of woe, and really, the stories making the news headlines are indeed indicative of a woeful state of affairs, I do think we should acknowledge some of the good news around.  Zoe Hobbs was magnificent in Sydney over the weekend; the Tarankai raised, Auckland based sprinter has officially become the first New Zealand woman to run under 11 seconds for the 100 metres. Hobbs created history at the Sydney Track Classic by running 10.97 to scalp one-tenth of a second from her Oceania women's 100m record with an exhilarating performance. Sticking with sport, in the third game of their second season in Super Rugby Pacific, the Fijian Drua have claimed one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history beating the Crusaders 25-24 which has to be good news for rugby full stop. We also had three sold out concerts on Saturday night showcasing New Zealanders eclectic music tastes: BackStreet Boys, Snoop Dogg, and My Chemical Romance. So many beautiful emos in the central city on Sunday… and there's a great exhibition from the Tate Gallery on at the Auckland Art Gallery which is a must see.  There was sunshine and people flocking to beaches, and I could pretend for just a moment that we'd had a summer up north. So that's the good news. We return now to our regular scheduled programming. How on earth is the government and Andrew Coster going to spin this? Retail crime is up nearly 40 per cent —nearly 300 incidents every single day— and that's just the reported crime. 292 incidents every day in 2022, up from 140 per day in 2018. Why? Because the crims know they'll get away with it.  There's been a 400 per cent increase in ram raids in five years, 76 per cent of those caught under the age of 18. Why? Because the crims know they'll get away with it.  If you're on any neighbourhood FB page you'll see the footage of crims coming up driveways looking for homes to break into, cars to steal, opportunties to take stuff they're not willing to work for - why? Because they know they'll get away with it.  Violent gun crime is on the rise. Police data reveals that while the number of firearm offences has risen and fallen over the past 15 years, 2021 was the worst over that period with 1,308 firearms offences recorded. It surpassed 2019 when there were 1,142 incidents, including the mosque terror attacks. So 2021 worst year in 15 years - until 2022.  That was on track for being the worst year ever.   Data released by police under the Official Information Act shows 10 murder or manslaughter deaths in 2022, up until 31 July. There were 11 in total in 2021. Injuries are also running at a record rate, on track to exceed 300 firearm-related injuries for the first time. In 2021, there were 298 gun-related injuries recorded by police, the highest ever.  Why?  You know the chorus - repeat after me. Because they know they'll get away with it.  And all we get from the Police Commissioner and this government is gaslighting: New Zealand is a safer place because of the gun buyback. There is no increase in crime.  Ram raids have decreased since I became PM. There are more police on the streets. Fog cannons will make a difference. Utter, utter BS from a government that will not draw a line in the sand and say enough. No more. In a civilised society this is simply not acceptable and those who transgress, those who don't or won't observe the rules of civilised society need to be punished. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's edition of The Huddle, Nick Leggett, Chief Executive of Transporting NZ and NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joined in on a discussion on the following issues of the day: Nanaia Mahuta was in favour of the Three Waters entrenchment clause despite Cabinet agreeing against it back in May. National Leader Chris Luxon is calling for her to be sacked because of this- was she out of line?  Wayne Brown has come out against the Auckland Art Gallery, comparing the lack of visitors to customers at a dairy and describing it as "the most uneconomic building in the city". Does he have a point? Wellington mayor Tory Whanau says she's concerned for her personal safety and wants to boost her personal security once she's officially put the rates up. Is this fair, or is she inviting more hate? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Auckland Council is set to approve a new budget today that will hit households with an average 43 per cent rates rise and 111 per cent rise in water costs over 10 years.Five days after Finance Minister Grant Robertson unveiled a "recovery" Budget for the country, Goff will today land his own recovery package for Auckland.Goff says the city's "recovery budget" is the single largest infrastructure package in its history, but has been quiet about the cost Aucklanders will pay for the $31.8 billion spend-up.Mayor Phil Goff will land his Recovery Budget today. (Photo / Michael Craig)His plan is to maintain essential services and high levels of spending on infrastructure to help Auckland and New Zealand pull out of the Covid-19 crisis.Goff and councillors are expected to raise rates by 5 per cent and water bills by 7 per cent from July when they meet today.The 5 per cent rate rise is a one-off followed by rate rises of 3.5 per cent thereafter.Household water bills rise by 7 per cent over the next two years followed by 9.5 per cent over the following six years and 3.5 per cent in the remaining two years.Over 10 years the average household rates bill will go up from $2810 to $4018 and the average water bill from $1069 to $2261.That's an overall average increase of 62 per cent in council costs for a typical Auckland household.Rural towns like this one at Huapai face large rates increases this year. (Photo / Sylvie Whinray)There is also a sting in the tail for more than 8000 rural property owners in booming rural areas like Kumeu and Pukekohe, who the council wants to move on to an urban rate on the grounds they now share similar services to city dwellers.A group of 7500 households and businesses in rural towns face a one-off average rate increase of 16 per cent this year, or about $430.A smaller group of 616 people on farm lifestyle blocks face rate increases of up to 23 per cent.Kumeu Community Action Group chairman Guy Wishart said there was no justification for the big rate increases, saying his area has no swimming pools, no trains, no cycleways, poor roads and just the occasional footpath.The feedback on the budget is hardly a strong endorsement for Goff's fifth budget as mayor, which is expected to be approved at a finance committee meeting.Of the 19,965 submissions, 43 per cent did not support the budget and 42 per cent did when pro forma feedback was excluded.Auckland parks and community centres are facing budgetary pressure. (Photo / Maria Slade)A Colmar Brunton survey of 4000 Aucklanders found 46 per cent approval for the budget and 37 per cent opposed."Some will say we have gone too far with our rates increase, while others will call for higher rises."However, I believe we have found the right middle ground," said Goff, who noted other growth cities had double-digit increases.Wellington Mayor Andy Foster yesterday upped the proposed rate increase from 13.5 per cent to 16 per cent and Tauranga homeowners are facing a proposed rates hike of 20 per cent and paying 30.5 per cent more for their water.Goff said the Recovery Budget will address transport and traffic congestion, improve water quality, build more infrastructure for housing and tackle threats posed by climate change.He said it represented a 21 per cent increase in spending on infrastructure over the last 10-year budget in 2018, including a $4b boost for water.A big anomaly in the budget has been the ability of the board of Watercare to more than double water bills to pay for a $4b boost to infrastructure, while Auckland Transport's capital budget has only risen by a few hundred million dollars over the same period.Auckland Art Gallery is facing a huge repair bill. (Photo / Sylvie Whinray)Goff has also talked up a $900m boost for park and community services when budget information paints a gloomy outlook for hundreds of community assets like libraries, halls, community centres, arts venues and playgrounds where there could be no mo...

What's on the back of a painting can tell as story as fascinating as what's on the front. There are not only the obvious - signatures and labels - but all kinds of other tantalising clues. Three New Zealand art conservators have gathered more than 30 of their favourite paintings where what's on the back - even what the back's made from - have either solved or posed mysteries. These rear view stories are collected in a new book, The Back of the Painting, by Linda Waters from Te Papa, Sarah Hillary who's based at Auckland Art Gallery and Jenny Sherman who's at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Lynn Freeman talks with Linda, Sarah and Jenny about how the idea for the book came about. The Back of the Painting is published by Te Papa Press.

Enforced lockdown for a dancer is especially hard, but for Aucklander Lomina-Meteri Araitia it gave her time to breathe, but also to grieve. Right now though she's about to show a new work created as part of the 11th Pacific Dance Choreographic Lab, drawing on her Cook Island and Tahitian heritage as a dancer and choreographer. It's part of Auckland Art Week. The call went out for applications in July, despite the uncertainty around the pandemic and live performance. So the move to level 1 has come at just the right time for Lomina. She's one of four mid-career choreographers selected for the Lab, that pairs them up with mentors to work on a risk-taking new dance. Life's been full on for the young mother since graduating from PIPA - the Pacific Insititute of Performing Arts in Auckland.

Tightly packed crowds, busy streets and skies filled with planes feature among the more than 200 photographs from around the world taken for an exhibition that was launched before the Covid-19 era of social distancing. In fact the opening of Civilisation, Photography, Now at Auckland Art Gallery had to be postponed because of lockdown. But now we're at Level One we finally get a chance to see the exhibition.

Kia Ora Whanau. This week we bring you a delightful conversation with Auckland Art Gallery’s Principal Conservator and ultra marathon runner Sarah Hillary. Sarah talks about her love of running the hills of the Waitakere Ranges and the trail that has her family name. We talk about art, ultramarathons, a life steeped in adventure and, her indelible links to Nepal (and Piha while we are at it) and how hopefully, when we emerge from being a nation in lockdown we can continue our (in some cases newfound) affinity for the outdoors. We ask what her father, Sir Edmund, would have made of ultra marathon running and how the spaces that he ventured first have temporarily been returned to their uncrowded best. As per, Eugene and Matt bring you news about races (or lack thereof) and an amazing Greatest Run Ever. And for those of us who are from overseas and not from the village of New Zealand, yes, THAT Hillary. Enjoy.

Shelton began her career as a photojournalist working for daily newspapers, before deciding she wanted more control over her images and deciding to go to art school. As an artist, her work mixes conceptual and narrative traditions of photography. In large-scale, hyper-real photographs she explores histories of people and of places, often bringing forgotten or controversial histories to light. Shelton has also shown a steady interest in the nature of the archive, exploring the collections of others in her work. Shelton first came to attention with the series Redeye. Selected from thousands of photographs taken over a period of two years, the work document Auckland's art scene and its gallery openings, performances and underground events, especially those taking place around the artist-run space Teststrip. Described by the artist as a 'social diary', the series was described by Auckland Art Gallery photography curator Ron Brownson as 'some of the most inventive and risk taking in recent art in New Zealand'. A recent series, jane says, created for her 2016 exhibition at Auckland Art Gallery Dark Matter, features plants traditionally associated with treatments for women's fertility placed in ikebana-like arrangements against vibrant coloured backgrounds. The artist spent a year researching, collecting, arranging and photographing the plants, which include thistle, fennel, rhododendron and yarrow.

When a broad and deep undulation of the ocean, caused by a distant gale or seismic disturbance occurs it’s called a groundswell. When a rapid spontaneous growth in support of a political opinion occurs, it’s called a groundswell. So what happened when a group of Auckland artists started making highly experimental art in the 70’s? Groundswell: Avant-Guard Auckland 71-79.

Många samtida maoriska konstnärer skildrar den maoriska erfarenheten. Matilda Källén reste till Nya Zeeland för att ta del av en konstnärlig tradition som motarbetats men fortsatt blomma. I ett villaområde i utkanten av Nya Zeelands största stad Auckland har konstnären Lonnie Hutchinson sin ateljé. Det är sommar på södra halvklotet och fönstren står på vid gavel. Med sitt maoriska och samoanska ursprung är Lonnie Hutchinson en av Nya Zeelands mest framstående konstnärer inom samtida maorisk konst. Och det är en bakgrund och en erfarenhet, en historia om ett förlorat land, som har präglat hennes konst i snart 25 år, oavsett om det har handlat om videoverk, performance eller skulptur. Ett av hennes senaste verk är ett offentligt konstverk i staden Christchurch på Sydön, där den maoriska kulturen enligt Lonnie Hutchinson har fått möjlighet att ta allt mer plats i stadsbilden efter den jordbävning som drabbade staden 2011. Samtidigt finns en upplevelse av att den maoriska kulturen har approprierats, säger Linda Tyler på konstinstitutionen på University of Auckland, som ger en inblick i den maoriska konstens historia fram till idag. Ett stenkast från universitetet pågår utställningen "The Maori Portraits" på Auckland Art Gallery 120 porträtt föreställande framförallt maorier, på sin tid ofta namnlösa, som målades av porträttmålaren Gottfried Lindauer under 1800-talets andra hälft. Museets kurator för maorisk konst, Nigel Borell guidar och berättar om både stolthet och den koloniala blicken. Samtal med och reportage av kulturredaktionens reporter Matilda Källén.

In August 1998, the Auckland Art Gallery was the scene of this country's first major art theft. An armed man burst in, threatening visitors and assaulting a security guard before making off with the 19th century painting Still on Top by French artist James Tissot worth around $2 million. Visitor Experience Manager Richard Wormley was on duty in the gallery when it happened.
