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.

Bill Hammond: Serenading Imagined Worlds is a survey exhibition currently on view at Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery. 

Hammond (b. 1947) was a Lyttleton-based artist with a career spanning over four decades, and is widely recognised as one of the most influential and original painters in Aotearoa. 

Although best known for his bird-human hybrid paintings, which largely defined his practice from the 1990s onwards, Serenading Imagined Worlds surveys and traces the preceding chapters of his practice, inviting the viewer to engage with a panoramic sweep of his career. From his handcrafted wooden works, prints, to his edgier paintings of the 1980s exploring popular culture, music, and politics, and the otherworldliness of his Auckland Islands inspired works, the show reveals the essence of who Hammond was – an artist who experimented, challenged, and was attuned to the possibility of reinvention. 

Sof had a kōrero with AD Schierning about Hammond and Serenading Imagined Worlds. 

Pounding post punk band Prosa came in for Fancy New Band this morning and performed three songs from their EP 'Idle State' which came out december last year. their sound is raw, honest and heavy!
