Thanks to everyone who came to AURA Festival of Artist Moving Images at Pataka Art + Museum over the weekend of 23/24 October. After all of the turbulence of 2020, it was wonderful to sit in a room with a community, and to enjoy new works, new conversations. We are currently working on a follow up publication, and more screenings around Aotearoa. This Friday 13 November we present the final edition of The Sound of Seeing - sonic experiment in Aotearoa Artists Film and Video 1973-2020. Night three at The Pyramid Club, Wellington features new live soundtrack commissions performed by Jamie Berry, Chrissie Butler, Simon Cuming to films by Darcell Apelu, Popular Productions, Jamie Berry, Bruce Barber, Mike Heynes. There will also be a new taonga puouro soundtrack by Thomas Carroll. $12 pre-sales via UTR, or $15 on the door. Now showing on Masons Screen, Wellington the first of three annual commissions. Layne Waerea's Uninvited Visitor (2020) is a subtle response to recent global conversations around public monuments. The artist drops kumara down Wellington steps which act as pathfinders for the planting of new seedlings. If we were to envisage other 'memorials' what could they be? As we head towards December we bid farewell and a huge thanks to our Mana Moana resident Israel Randell, who in just three months has made an indelible impression in the Poneke arts scene. Whether delivering a series of excellent interviews for her (ex)CLAIM series (see below), performing at the FASWAG vogue ball or being part of the discussions shaping the programme for our recent Symposium, we thanks Israel for her energy and insight. All the best for your new adventures at Whakatane Museum and Arts!
