  • Sculptor Candice Lin looks at the history of plague

    Sculptor Candice Lin looks at the history of plague
    Aug 2 2020
    A catapult that fires projectiles made out of oil, lard, wax and a pigment made from burnt bones is part of an exhibition by Los Angeles based artist Candice Lin, that's about to open in New Plymouth. Pigs and Poison is a collection of work that looks at plagues and viruses, and how countries over centuries have both been blamed for them or spread them.It sounds eerily prescient, since Candice, who's Chinese American, made them before Covid-19. Pigs and Poison opens at the Govett-Brewster without her planned visit because of the pandemic, she had to rely on gallery staff to install the show.

    Aug 2 2020
    After a short break under lockdown, local publishing is forging ahead. Dunedin poet, novelist and writing teacher Diane Brown has fused prose and verse to tell a new story in free narrative verse. The collection of poetry is titled Every now and then I have another child. In it she imagines a newborn baby who might or might not be hers but she takes responsibility for the little girl. Sometimes the baby speaks directly to us in an unnervingly knowing way. Amidst the other characters in this world is a doppelganger. Every now and then I have another child is published by Otago University Press.

    Choreographer Eddie Elliot on dancing through a pandemic
    Aug 2 2020
    If it weren't for the Covid-19 pandemic, Maori dancer and choreographer Eddie Elliot would be about to leave for Canada where he regularly performs with an indigenous dance company. But instead, he is about to premiere his first full length commissioned work for the New Zealand Dance company. Uku - Behind the Canvas sees the dancers cover themselves in, and make small objects out of clay on stage. The work also incorporates New Zealand Sign Language and references the distorted paintings of Swiss artist Andy Denzler. It's part of the New Zealand Dance Company's new show, Night Light.
