I'm going to be stepping in for Emma on The Anything Arty Show tonight at 8pm. I think its the first time anyone else has done this show besides Emma. I've got two things lined up for tonight. A bit of a chat about the 4th Auckland Triennial plus a recording of an interview with the curator, and a replay of a podcast I recently made where I recorded NZ/USA artist Max Gimblett talking about his practice.
