Stemming from an interest in how language and writing is used to explore and expand visual art making. Music Video presents two artists using words as the inbetween of experience and visual interpretation. The exhibition features moving images, installation, music and an LED sign.
Susu 蘇子誠 is a Taiwanese (Han, Min-nan) artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Currently in the honours year of a BFA at Te Waka Tūhura Elam School of Fine Arts and Design, The University of Auckland. Working in digital production, moving images, drawing and installation. Interested in how one’s language and memories can be carried, and preserved as fragments of the body through acts of travelling. In between environments of national boundaries, terrestrial bodies, the virtual, and the physical. Recent exhibitions include The moon and the pavement (2022), a partnership between The Physics Room and Ashburton Art Gallery, at Ashburton Art Gallery, Hakatere, and promising.space (2021) at Window Gallery online, Tāmaki Makaurau.
Jamie Rhiannon Howse (Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngāti Kahungunu) translates her daily writing practice into visual art, her work fixates on alienation and the surreal language of the unreliable narrator. Committed to a writing practice starting in 2016 and continuing every day since, Howse draws from texts spanning wide swaths of time to draw attention to the nonlinear nature of emotion and memory.
