<i>Ella Harrington Knapton is a Dunedin-based artist and collaborator, who is about to head off overseas for an artist residency in Japan. I caught up with Ella to talk about her plans and interesting projects she is working on.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>--</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Where are you now and when are you heading off on your residency?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I'm currently in Dunedin working all summer. I’m travelling to Malaysia, India and Thailand for a short while before heading to Japan for an artist residency in March.<br />
<br />
<i>Why did you apply for this residency? </i><br />
<br />
Honestly, I was just having a really weird week and feeling a bit stuck (common winter Dunedin feelings) and started writing down some ideas for a drawing project. which quickly turned into a proposal that I sent off to a couple of places on the <a href="http://www.resartis.org/en/">ResArtis website.</a> All in one day haha. I was so surprised at the responses; I never thought it was that easy to do.<br />
<br />
I chose this little place outside of Fukuoka because it had quite a diverse range of young artists visit recently. I spoke to a photographer from Belgium who was there and she really sold it to me. It’s a picturesque, traditional, rural area with mountains by the sea and the studio is a super relaxed and isolated working environment, so really you can take it as far as you like.<br />
<br />
<i>What projects have you been working on? </i><br />
<br />
I’m working on a little project where I’m making and collecting computer-based data like GPS tracking/traces and timelines and using them as drawing marks. I'm playing around with dislocation, disorder and control. I'm hoping to develop this work in Japan.<br />
<br />
Another project I’m really excited about is a collaboration with Dunedin-based embroidery artist Lucinda King. We will work on the same giant bit of fabric and send it back and forth like a pen pal diary exchange, but with only stitches<br />
<br />
<i>Can you tell me about how your drawings got printed on shoes for a fashion show in China? </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I recently did a collaboration with F u r g who has made a ridiculously beautiful fashion collection for her Masters. I did the prints that were laser cut into the wooden shoes, which were part of this collection. F u r g was invited to an international showcase in Guangzhou. I also recently did a print collaboration with Company Of Strangers; it’s been a cool experience working with fashion designers this year.<br />
<br />
<i>What do you hope to be doing in 6 months' time? </i><br />
<br />
In six months I’ll still be in Japan but probably running out of money and trying to figure out where to move to next… I have no idea where I’m going to live. I'm thinking about heading to the blue mountains where my grandparents live and hiding out there for a while.<br />
<br />
<i>What are your three favourite objects in your bedroom? </i><br />
<br />
My ceiling-to-floor green velvet curtains, a pink ceramic “cat” my little brother made me years ago that is basically a curved fleshy log and maybe my faux wedding photo album.<br />

I <a href="http://pantograph-punch.com/post/huia-house">wrote a feature</a> about the Elam Students' Association's house in Huia. It's on land worth $500,000 but the house is falling apart.<br />

As Kane said in his press release for this video, arriving in New York for his first overseas tour was the most surreal experience of his life. He made the video for his song, 'Silence Overgrown' with footage from the band's U.S. and European tours. There's something about it that captures that giddy feeling. It's sweet, charismatic and it's also quite funny.</div>

I'm part of a wonderful team of art writers who do short reviews every month on exhibitions around New Zealand. The project is called 'The Unmissables' and hopes to provide a list of the best and most controversial shows for readers before the shows close.

The Adam Art Gallery's <i>The Tomorrow People </i>exhibition text with the three texts I wrote for the show just arrived in the mail. I'm not sure if I will be able to make it down for the show, but if you're in Wellington, go along to an interesting exhibition filled with young artists and next generation thinking and practices. It closes on 01 October.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The artists in the show are: Wendelien Bakker, Diva Blair, Jesse Bowling, Teghan Burt, Quishile Charan, Sam Clague, Hikalu Clarke, Claudia Dunes & Rainer Weston, Fresh and Fruity, William Linscott, Isabella Loudon, Theo Macdonald, Annie Mackenzie & Dave Marshall, Ammon Ngakuru, Christina Pataialii, Maddy Plimmer, Deborah Rundle, Christopher Ulutupu, Tim Wagg, Daegan Wells, Aliyah Winter, Xun Cao, Yllwbro</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the press release text for the show:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>The Tomorrow People </i>is an exercise in future-oriented thinking. The exhibition brings together a selection of works from an emerging generation of artists that offer urgent, resourceful and playful possibilities for navigating troubling times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>The Tomorrow People</i> emerges from a set of provocations around politics and creative practice in the present. Rather than attempting to offer answers, the show and its accompanying public programme invite open-ended discussion around the potentials and limitations of artmaking today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These questions include: how have three decades of neoliberal policy, financialised capitalism, and global economic crises shaped our horizons of possibility for individual and collective living in Aotearoa New Zealand? If the once utopian possibilities of the Internet now seem worn, what potential remains within our thoroughly networked present for the articulation, undermining and imagining of identities, the forging of new bonds, and the building of spaces of care, social justice and emergence? Can art provide a site for solidarity, world-making, and refuge in an increasingly volatile contemporary moment? And if so, who gets a stake in the creation and maintenance of this site, and how do we extend the invitation of art to those who have otherwise been ignored, belittled, and kept at the periphery?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The title of the exhibition is borrowed from the 1973 Thames Television series: ‘The Tomorrow People’. In the show, a group of adolescents find themselves endowed with special powers, including teleportation, telekinesis and telepathy. These teenagers represent the supposedly next stage of human evolution, and are, throughout the series, tasked with overcoming evil forces for the good of humanity. Though ‘low-budget’ in every sense, this coming-of-age tale provides a tentative framework for thinking through how a generation of artists who have inherited a fractured, often overwhelming world, might be especially well-disposed to use these very conditions to arrive at better futures, even if, as the programme clearly revealed, they only have the present as the ground for imaginative projection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Together with the artists included in the exhibition, the show brings new voices to bear, with new writing by Eloise Callister-Baker, Casey Carsel, Matilda Fraser, James Hope, Ellie Lee-Duncan, Dilohana Lekamge, Francis McWhannell, Robyn Maree Pickens, Hugo Robinson, Hanahiva Rose, Kari Schmidt, and Balamohan Shingade, published to accompany the works and a lively public programme which will feature three forums designed to expand on the questions raised by the exhibition.</div>

My flat has assumed another function - it's now an artist run space called captcha. My flatmate, Jerome, had an in-depth conversation with Artists Alliance about the space's history, the artists, the plan. Check it out <a href="https://artistsallianceblog.com/2017/06/16/captcha-new-artist-run-space-interview/">here</a>.<br />

The New Zealand gardening blog, POD, <a href="http://www.podgardening.co.nz/sandy-callister.html">did a feature </a>on Sandy (and Martin's) garden on Great Barrier Island. The interview is lovely, but what makes my heart burst with happiness are the wonderful photos by <a href="http://www.saraorme.com/">Sara Orme</a>, two of which are featured above. I love thoughtful, beautiful projects like this and am delighted about this one.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a photo of Kane when he just found out that his first advance from Dead Oceans came through. We were hanging out at my old flat on Jetty Street in Dunedin. Kane was probably playing computer games and maybe I was studying. Kane turned to me; he had just checked his bank account and there it was - a way in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There have been a handful of moments like that for Kane (and I) in the past few years. There have also been and continue to be so many obstacles - a major one being how little money there is in New Zealand for musicians to really have a chance. But today isn't about that, today was another one of those ecstatic moments. This time, I'm in Auckland and Kane is still in Dunedin, but the excitement (and discombobulation) is still there. Kane announced the name and release date for his first album with Dead Oceans.<a href="http://deadoceans.com/artist.php?name=strangkane"> It's called <i>Two Hearts and No Brain</i> and it's coming out 30 June. </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kane has just finished a month touring with his band in the States and is off again to Europe in a week. My heart does yearn for the time this photograph reminds me of, but what Kane does keeps me in awe. I want to follow that feeling forever. So, this is a slightly out-of-left-field post to say I love you Kane and congratulations from the bottom of my heart.</span><br />

Here's a murmuring from Dunedin - it's mournful and romantic and captures how it felt to leave this town again on Monday afternoon. Thank you Brad McDonald for these two.</div>

William Linscott's video work is the latest in a procession of practices that trade in the visual and linguistic aesthetics of the internet age. But I found that its depths go further than the kitsch of other efforts. I have written about this work <a href="http://pantograph-punch.com/post/reality-already-augmented-william-linscott-xciii">here</a>.<br />

Taken as a whole, aspects of his life made it difficult to confine him to a clear identity. Maybe because of this, when he was a young minister Rev Martin Baker was anxious. He described the tense mood shift when he told some people what he did. “For people who have no connection with that world, it doesn’t generate a lot of conversation.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When it came to telling his secular family about his calling, most were surprised. His dad was antagonistic. In one community Baker became an outlier, in another he was wholeheartedly welcomed.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Baker has since relaxed about the awkward silences that follow when people ask him what he does. But even so, the identity he advocates for is diminishing. Results from the 2011 census show that 60% of New Zealanders identified themselves as affiliated with a Christian religion. By 2013 this number dropped to under 50%. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While those who identified as not having any religion rose from 29.6% to 41.9% between the same years. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But “the data is complex,” says Baker. “Like a lot of static information, it doesn’t tell you about the dynamics of change. While the church certainly isn’t the church it was in 1950s when there was very high levels of attendance, it’s much harder to argue that people’s interest in faith, spirituality, concepts of purposefulness and significance has diminished.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rev Dr Jonathan Jong, a young, Chinese-Malaysian Anglican priest and experimental psychologist, also has mixed feelings about the increasing secularism in countries like New Zealand and the United Kingdom. If we understand increasing secularism to be more to do with increasing pluralism then Jong doesn’t see it as such a bad thing. “To use a capitalist metaphor, the marketplace of ideas has expanded. When people are spoiled for choice sometimes they just don’t make a choice,” says Jong. “In a sense, the current situation is more honest than it has ever been.” </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This fluidity seems to show a new way of thinking about and defining Christianity.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I think the older forms of Christianity have died or are changing and so how we express faith and Christianity in particular needs to be adaptive,” says Dr Rev Carolyn Kelly. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kelly's own background suggests the adaptivity of the contemporary Christianity that she discusses. Despite her secular upbringing, Kelly became a Christian at university over thirty years ago. “I [had] an agnostic, confused sense of myself and almost over the period of a few months my paradigm shifted. In these late modern, much more secular times, I had a hunch as a young adult that there might be more to this reality than there being nothing out there.”</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A few years ago, Kelly became the first woman to be the full-time Maclaurin Chaplain at the University of Auckland. In her role, Kelly can often be spotted by students stationed at various cafes ready to have a chat or at numerous campus events wearing casual clothes except for the bright pink cross she wears around her neck, which she describes with a laugh. </span></div>

When I talked to Kelly, she had just held a poetry night for women who wanted to talk about their faith and other issues that were important to them. Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Hindu women attended. While they passionately talked about gender issues and rape culture “faith was central to how they see themselves,” says Kelly.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kelly is also excited by young environmental activists like the Pacific Warriors in Auckland who show an adaptive way of expressing their Christian faith. “Twenty years ago it would have been inconceivable for young people from the Pacific to be involved in a protest movement and celebrating their faith,” she says.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In traditional churches (the ones that aren’t carparks or conference centres), however, this fluidity and adaptivity are challenged by the prominence of the elderly who loyally shuffle into the pews every Sunday. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now in a new ministering role in Auckland, Baker realises that young people probably want more flexible and open styles of worship. “They want different kinds of music, different communication styles.” Although Baker doesn’t believe a successful ministry is about numbers he says that it’s critical that traditional churches engage with young people. “</span><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If young people don’t attend or participate in the life of the church there isn’t a future.”</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But the problem, Baker says, is that while these churches may have a huge amount of capital investments, “it’s very difficult to shift that investment into the missions, people and resources that are going to engage with communities.” So, while still wanting cater to their partly elderly congregation, churches “find themselves with their resources quite stretched trying to [work out] where to invest.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jong, on the other hand, isn’t too worried about trying to make God cool. And, somehow, this seems to work for him. In summer last year, Jong taught a psychology and religion paper at the University of Otago. One night, Jong turned up to a party at my flat dressed in a full collar shirt and cassock with his shoulder-length hair tied up in a ponytail. What I initially thought was an ironic get-up turned out to be a true and proud display of his identity. He does this a lot and it often gets strangers talking to him about religion on their own accord. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I didn’t properly talk to Jong until he was back in England. When we Skyped, Jong was at his University of Oxford office in the Institute for Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology, which is, coincidentally, 100 meters away from notorious atheist Richard Dawkins’ house. Needless to say, Jong’s Catholic-Anglicanism makes him stand out a bit in his department. “Most of my colleagues are atheists,” he says. “It’s not the most common thing in the world to find a devoutly religious person who works on the evolution of religion. Their response to me is not so much hostility as it is perplexity.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At 16 or 17 years old and living in Malaysia, Jong was drawn to Christianity because the stories within it moved him. “The idea of a god who could be vulnerable was compelling.” For Jong, these stories challenged his own ingrained ideas that people got what they deserved. “The exposure to a more merciful and therefore less meritocratic ethic was a kind of revelation to me.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Despite Jong’s devotion, he has never been behind creating versions of church services that seek to appeal to more people or young people. “I’ve discovered a kind of Christian community that is interested in designing worship services for themselves on their own terms without thinking about what will appeal to the general public.” With full services every Sunday, Jong describes this approach as working “remarkably well.” </span></div>

Every generation, every epoch has to listen anew to what God seems to be doing. We have to listen anew to the fact that God is working through Christians who are gay in our churches – there’s not doubt about that. We have to listen to the fact that a Muslim friend might say something to us that is challenging and true.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Christianity didn’t start as a religion but as a movement. The structures we have built around organised religion, the rules and regulation defining who’s out and who’s in are changing and probably largely dissolving," says Baker. “Churches that are flourishing are the ones where the values of authentic community – welcome, hospitality, grace and love – are replacing the old doctrines and rules. My understanding is that Jesus called people into a lifelong journey of learning, he spoke about what it means to be part of a different story and that the defining characteristic of those who chose to follow him, was their love for others.”</span></div>

You may not believe what they believe, but the conversation will always be interesting.</span></div>

Tom Lee-Richards is a Melbourne-based musician with a debut E.P coming out sometime this year. After recent touring, Tom left his day job for music. And why not? His highly-textured, magnetic sound begs pursuing.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<i>1. What fell into place for you to quit your day job and pursue music full-time?</i><br />
<br />
Good question. I was touring NZ and Australia late last year and was enjoying playing in different places so much that I thought why don't I just do this. The volatile state of the world we are heading into has only really highlighted that nothing's as important as the things that make you happy - cos none of it lasts forever anyway. Plus, people find a way. If they don't well then they have to change something. I'll see how I go.<br />
<br />
<i>2. Where and how did you record your new E.P.?</i><br />
<br />
This is my debut solo E.P actually and is probably more of a mini-album just because there are a fair few tracks that had to go together. I recorded it mostly with Pip Norman aka Countbounce (Jarryd James, Troye Sivan) at his studio in Northcote, Melbourne. One track was recorded with Matt Neighbour (Matt Corby, Courtney Barnett) at Sing Sing Studios. There are a couple of tracks that some regular band mates played on but a lot of it was shaped from the ground up from a demo guitar take or mouth percussion improv.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<i>3. Can you tell me about the collaborations that happened when making this E.P.?</i><br />
<br />
Working with Pip Norman was great. I sent Pip a few recordings and he was drawn to 'The Wearing Kind'. He said, "I really like 'The Wearing Kind' - I think it's got a charm and magnetism that I feel I could bring something special to". We agreed we should explore the song's calypso influences in a fresh way that suits us, whilst staying true to my vocal delivery and the nostalgic feeling in the song. It wasn't long before Pip was swinging his arm at a solo floor Tom, hammering out what would be the backbone of the track. I grew to love Pip's signature sample-driven approach and the wisdom he brought to the process. I laid down the vocals, guitar and (usually) bass and then we worked on adding some synth and keys magic.<br />
<br />
Matt Neighbour, who co-produced 'Madness' with me, is a young production star and a super nice guy - loves 'Parks and Recreation' amongst other good shows. I had previously worked with Matt on my band Catch Release's album and was always impressed with his technical nous and consistently patient listening mode. 'Madness' was really about capturing what I do live and adding the bare minimum in a tasteful way. I knew I would enjoy that process with Matt.<br />
<br />
Rob Wardrop (keys), Thomas Young (bass) and Danny Finkelstein (drums) also played on one of the tracks giving it killer feel. The E.P/mini-album thingy is a definite journey.<br />
<br />
<i>4. What are three words you would use to describe your new music?</i><br />
<br />
Rhythmic, nuanced, textured.<br />
<br />
<i>5. Where is the best place in Melbourne to write music and/or to get unexpectedly inspired?</i><br />
<br />
Haha well I may not be fully aware of where I'm going to be unexpectedly inspired next and that's awesome. I often find myself on a park bench looking sideways at a flying bird. The bird often doesn't make it into the song but is aware I'm there. I do also like grabbing a coffee somewhere and letting the wash of social noise create enough distance to write.<br />

A few days ago Kane released the first single, 'Oh So You're Off I See' for his upcoming album. He also announced the big news...Kane has signed with U.S. label Dead Oceans. The response and coverage to his single and his signing has been staggering. I couldn't be more happy for Kane. You can even find posts about his new single on <a href="http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-radar/new-music-day-kane-strang-oh-youre-off-see-1970308">NME</a>, <a href="http://www.clashmusic.com/news/listen-kane-strang-oh-so-youre-off-i-see">Clash</a> and <a href="http://www.stereogum.com/1923645/kane-strang-oh-so-youre-off-i-see/music/">Stereogum</a>. Listen to his new song above and, trust me, if you like this - the full album will take you to a whole new level.<br />
