Jamie R H is a Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington based artist and curator, primarily working within spaces of language to produce site specific artworks. That both draws from, and speaks to her familial histories within Te Matau-a-Māui Hawkes’ Bay.
Her current exhibition I Runga O Ngā Puke (travels over feeling) on at Window Gallery showcases a durational language-based artwork, presented through a wall mounted LED sign. Displaying a stunning presentation of language in an act of constant movement. An unfolding of text that does not seek closure, but instead seeks to withhold it. Dazzling viewers with small glimpses of language that flow into a fragmented river of stories. The LED sign embodies this role as an actor of sorts, in a state of a continuous performance of language, time, and movement.
Maya caught up with Jamie about the show and overall practice.
We're excavating the lock-ups/shelves/shed/under the house for records to flog for the upcoming Other Crate Record Fair (25th November), and so we invited showrunner Apera and vendor Gramme thru to spin us some goodies that they will have to offer and you the listener gets the benefit. So many jams all across the musical map! We kick off with a couple from an album that just celebrated its 40th anniversary Change "This is your time" by the Italo/Afro-American crew, also mark this week's passing of Funk drummer George Brown of the mighty Kool & The Gang by spinning some of their greatest breaks.
Its mostly grind and other fast shit tonight, with the odd pinch of black metal and hiphop interspersed with the worst of public access shows that I could find. A fair bit of new shit in here, tune in and drop the fuck out.
