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.
Eli celebrates 1 year at the B in style. A playground of sounds, new and old, fast and slow. Particular attention given to Break's new record Digital World. Listeners then texted in for some money-themed song suggestions given the budget was released during the show. Eli has a 15 minute chat with Spike and Simon about the budget and then closes out the show with a plethora of fun tunes.
💚 Hi humans. So you like slow stuff and fast stuff? heavy stuff and light stuff? ambient stuff and noisy stuff? you like all the stuff? Well step inside for 3 hours of stuff as Eli shifts through the gears for you. Please note I will be away next week sitting a test (14th September 2023) so the wonderful Aneeka will be doing the Thursday 1-4 next week 💚
As always, the playlist of the show is here for your listening needs, should you wish.
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.
