12:40 Walters Art Prize
Two years ago artist Kalisolaite ‘Uhila outraged Pakuranga
by living as a homeless person outside Te Tuhi Gallery. He wore a black face
mask, slept rough, ate only donated food, was spat at and had the police called
to remove him. That two-week work about prejudice has been named as a finalist
in the Walters Art Prize for 2014 and ‘Uhila will recreate the
performance outside the Auckland Art Gallery. But this time he’ll do it for
three months. In the dead of winter.

Living on house boats and travelling extensively to India,

2:26 Sins and Surveys
What’s the worst sin you’ve ever committed? The Outfit
Theatre Company of Auckland want to know and then want to put your shame up on
the stage. Their new devised show, called Sin, is based on dozens of
interviews, online surveys and anonymous offerings from the public. Director
Sarah Graham talks about how they got their interviewees to open up.
Author Sarah Quigley has just published a new collection of
short stories. Called Tenderness, the stories are linked by themes of love and
intimacy as well as friendship and yes, tenderness. It’s a change of pace for
Sarah whose 2011 novel, The Conductor, told the story of the premiere of
Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony during the Siege of Stalingrad. Justin Gregory
asked her if, after finishing The Conductor, she was in need of some tenderness
herself.
