Contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand artist Areez Katki speaks to Contemporary HUM about The Rhapsode’s Tools Will Build the Rhapsode’s House, his presentation in the 7th edition of Personal Structures in Venice. Katki discusses being invited to present in Personal Structures and the processes behind creating the works for the exhibition, including the influence of his 2023 Tylee Cottage Residency in Whanganui, Aotearoa New Zealand. Employing queer, cross-temporal relationalities, Katki discusses his works as an attempt to restore pedagogy to an instinctual, affectual realm of play, recuperating modes of knowing and learning from the dictates of hegemonic, patriarchal and ethno-religious structures.Visit Contemporary HUM for an edited transcript of this episode published with images from Venice: https://contemporaryhum.com/writing/crossing-currents-episode-1New episodes of Crossing Currents: Aotearoa New Zealand Artists in Venice are released every Saturday from 22 June 2024.  Hosted on Acast.
