Clare Brodie's first solo show in New Zealand is an exploration of solitude, calm and respite from the theatre of the art world.

In this episode, Clare explains what inspires her work, and tells us a little more about her practice.

A big thank you to Clare for taking part in this episode - You can learn more about her work on the website at scottlawire.com - Including an inspiring essay by Andrew Paul Wood

Rebecca Hazard’s first solo with the gallery is a real show stopper! In this episode, Rebecca talks us through some of the concepts in her work, and what led to these magnificent and monumental paintings. Monumental in scale - they loll at the viewer from the walls; flesh looking at flesh in a way that makes one ponder life and death; as great art should.

Gregory Pryor comes to The Vivian for his first ever solo show with us, Dragging Tail, which is on until January 7th in the Studio Gallery.

This show explores the landscapes and deep historical legacies that come with it – through the lens of imaginary (and possibly real) historical characters plotting and navigating their way, with various degrees of success and tragedy, through a landscape at once alien and forbidding.

Recorded live during the artist's Q and A session, this Vivian Podcast explores the nature of his work, and some of the works in this magical, mysterious show.

Thanks to Greg for taking part in this podcast. Greg’s show is on until 7 January. – You can also see a short film recorded during this session on The Vivian website – at https://thevivian.co.nz/films
