• Fiona Pardington

  New Zealand artist Fiona Pardington is
  of Maori (Ngāi Tahu, Kati Mamoe and
  Ngāti Kahungunu) and Scottish (Clan
  Cameron of Erracht) descent. At the heart of
  her practice is an abiding concern with emotion
  and affect. A practitioner with over three decades
  experience as an exhibiting artist, she has explored
  the ongoing capacities of photography by attending
  to that which is hidden or unseen in the photograph, as
  much as what it represents. In the late 1980s she was among
  a group of women artists who challenged photography’s so-
  cial documentary aesthetic, prevalent in the previous decade. She
  went on to focus on the still-life format, recording museum taonga (Māori ancestral treasures) and other historic objects such as hei tiki (greenstone pendants) and the now extinct huia bird. In these works,
  she brings to a contemporary audience an awareness of traditional and forgotten objects. Pardington is renowned for her ability to breathe life force back into these objects and to raise global awareness around the importance of conservation. She interrogates death and celebrates collecting and preservation.

• Bethany Cordwell

  The tyranny of distance has long kept the heady heights of Hollywood A-listers from even the most senior of Australian designers,
  and yet rising star Bethany Williams has achieved the seemingly insurmountable at an astonishingly young age. From Queensland to Queen Bey, Bethany talks to VAULT about her unique and wonderful world following a year of unprecedented success.

• Thomas Mars

  French indie band Phoenix is back with their seventh studio album, Alpha Zulu, and the critics are calling it a return to form. Recorded during lockdown in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, it’s an album that lingers and opens up slowly, ranging from melancholy pop to disco. VAULT spoke to lead singer Thomas Mars about making music in a museum and knowing when a song is finished.
