"Developing a project can feel like being lost in the middle of the ocean" Duncan Sarkies on the joy of discovery

Two years ago this month RNZ National's Culture 101 was launched. And a guest on our very first show, introducing comedy radio drama series The Mysterious Secrets of Uncle Bertie's Botanarium was writer and comic Duncan Sarkies. Since then Duncan has published Star Gazers , his third novel, which is about the collapse of democracy amongst a society of alpaca breeders. At the end of this month Duncan is at the Word Christchurch festival. He's running a masterclass on 'Writers as Explorers', reviving his series I'd Love to Have a Beer with Duncan and in Cabinet of Curiosities will be talking with other writers about weird and wonderful obsessions. Duncan Sarkies joins Mark Amery on Culture 101 .

Visual and sound artist Abigail Aroha Jensen

music te ao Maori 22 minutes ago A bootleg is something illegally made, copied or distributed. The term originated in the prohibition practice of hiding illicit liquor in your boot, next to your leg. But it's more familiar in recent decades in regards to music and film. Bootleg is the name of an exhibition by Ngaruwahia visual and sound artist Abigail Aroha Jensen with Tamsen Hopkinson at Otautahi Christchurch gallery The Physics Room. Bootleg - the gallery say - deals with how theft relates to the land and materials abandoned to it. And in the case of Jensen's work materials used range from old baby toys and artificial muka fibre to boxes of hair dye. Bootleg is on at The Physics Room until the 24th of August. Meanwhile Abigail has recently been awarded a much sought-after contemporary art residency. In October she will travel to South London to spend three months with the organisation and gallery Gasworks. They give artists from outside the UK studio time in the English capital. Fair to day Abigail Aroha Jensen often pushes the conventions in use of any media or practice she works with. At the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt recently she installed vacuum-packed objects in the museum's elevator. For the celebrated album Tupiki, each of 12 tracks is 3 minutes and 33 seconds long, representing the story of Maui's spiritual journey ascending the 12 steps of heaven. Jensen plays everything from shells and taonga puoro to cello and water gongs. We welcome Abigail in the Kirirkiriroa studio to Culture 101
