To exhibit is to occupy a given space for a given time. It aims to share curated content with those who wish to encounter it, immerse themselves in it. (working title) is a work in progress, which questions the status of the work through its stages of production, and deals with the process of sharing it with the public. The starting point is the given situation with which the work forms a bond, an interdependence between what is already there and what the artist’s bring in.

06 March 2021
Wildness Makes This World is a participatory project by artist Matthew Cowan, Seinäjoki Kunsthalle, the professional orchestra Laitakaupungin Orkesteri and people from the area of Seinäjoki that explores wildness as a mode of being.
This new exhibition is the result of an artistic survey in collaboration with local people, museums and musicians, seeking traces and modes of wildness, environments and actions that can invoke an understanding of wildness as a mode of being. Through these interactions, new artworks have been produced. The works cover a range of responses to the idea of wildness, how it is experienced, what it might sound like, what it might look like, and how it is understood through historical sources.

Simon Denny, High-rise Berlin
Online project, Schinkel Pavillon
20 November —
31 December 2020
HIGH-RISE BERLIN is an experimental take on the well-established format of a studio visit. Through the pandemic-proof lens of a drone, Schinkel Pavillon offers an intimate glimpse into the worlds of a few Berlin-based artists. Some of them will present their lesser-known artistic skills and tell us about what has recently been inspiring them.
Studio Visit #1 is with Simon Denny in his apartment on the 18th floor high-rise in Berlin-Mitte. Denny’s artistic works include installation, sculpture, print, and video. His elaborate exhibitions endeavor to dismantle the social and political impacts of a ever-expanding techno-industry and entanglements of social media, startup culture, and blockchain. The video captures Simon Denny making his show Mine for K21, Düsseldorf, during lockdown. The drone footage intersects to a minecraft version of Mine which is now temporarily closed because of Covid-19 regulations.

Southern Transmissions: Contemporary Video Art From Oceania

20 November —
13 December 2020
Southern Transmissions: Contemporary Video Art From Oceania features work by Lucy Aukafolau, Jasmine Togo-Brisby, Robert George, Lisa Reihana, Angela Tiatia, Christian Thompson, and Christopher Ulutupu.
Shanghai-based New Zealand curator Hutch Wilco said, “Ironically, it is the tumultuous forces of colonialism and globalisation that have once again enabled the diverse communities of Oceania to reforge connections with Asia. Southern Transmissions provides an opportunity to connect with artists from across Oceania who explore issues that have challenged their region through the format of video, from anxieties about the preservation of customary knowledge, or the legacy of the South Pacific slave trade, to contemporary concerns about rising sea levels enveloping communities, the exhibition serves as an introduction both to Oceanic video practices and the diversity of Oceanic preoccupations.”

Taiwan-New Zealand Dialogue on Cultural Exchange Policies amid Covid-19
Tua-Tiu-Tiann International Festival of Arts, Taiwan Busan 3rd Floor, Taipei, Taiwan
10.00AM — 12.30PM
24 October 2020
This event is organised by the Taiwan Cultural Policy Research Association as part of the 2020 Tua-Tiu-Tiann International Festival of Arts (TTTIFA). This year, as all international events around the world are overwhelmed by the landslide of the Covid-19 pandemic, we understand the importance to maintain the communications between countries through arts and culture that facilitate understanding among peoples in this hardship. Taiwan and New Zealand are both signalled in international media for their success in controlling the spreading of Covid-19 within their borders and maintaining the economic activities as much as possible. Nevertheless, art and cultural workers are severely impacted during this time. International cultural organizations and policy makers are urging to find methods to reconnect to the world. Cultural fields in Taiwan and New Zealand are not only facing the challenge in resuming the domestic dynamics, but also the need to reconnect to the world while keeping the nation safe. This forum aims to open a dialogue between international cultural organizations and practitioners of the two countries and exchange their observations and ideas that may lead to further progress on their works of cultural exchanging. Speakers will include New Zealand art professionals Ron Hanson, Editor of White Fungus and Catherine George, Senior Adviser of International Services & Initiatives, Creative New Zealand as well as Taiwan art professionals Wei Wan-jung, Director of OISTAT and Catherine Lee , Director of Taipei Artist Village. Contemporary HUM is pleased to support this initiative in documenting the discussion through the publication of an edited transcript on its online platform in coming months.

Len Lye in Anticorps
Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France
23 October 2020 —
03 January 2021
The worldwide experience of lockdown and the adoption of social and physical distancing have made us reconsider the idea that our bodies are sealed units. Did we forget how porous we actually are? The exhibition Antibodies platforms the voices of 20 artists from the French and international artistic scene. With recent and new works they take the pulse of our ability to bond together and help us rethink how we inhabit the world. Len Lye's film Tusalava, 1929, the only non-contemporary work in the exhibition, brings to a close the section devoted to warrior tales. From the social body to cellular organisms, the evolution of forms seems to be governed by a polar opposition between domination and revolt.

Va // relational space between all things in the world Tagatavasa // peoples of the oceans, of sacred relational spaces Teu le va, tauhi va, vaha loto mahani mitaki // cherish the va.
In*ter*is*land Collective wanted to explore, engage and traverse connections in ta and va (time and space) in 2020, as a way to connect again too. In sending out the above provocation on social media we were privileged to receive a number of responses from creatives based all around the world. From a base of both London and Aotearoa, we began to curate this digital space which actively prioritised tagata Moana and BIPOC artists and their creations. We gift you a version of 2020, as seen through the eyes of these artists - and we thank them all for their time, energy and vulnerability. Monuina, ia manuia, kia ora and thank you, In*ter*is*land Collective.

André Hemer in 'Unreachable Spring'
Luis De Jesus Gallery, Los Angeles, U.S.A.
17 October —
19 December 2020
Luis De Jesus Los Angeles is very pleased to announce Unreachable Spring, a group exhibition with artists June Edmonds, André Hemer, Laura Krifka, Kambui Olujimi, Edra Soto, and Peter Williams.
"Those late-night early mornings have become my favorite time of day. Birdsong fills the crisp air, echoing between my terrace and the apartment building opposite. And in that transition from night to day the light changes so quickly that it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment it shifts. Overhead is an infinitely deep blue—not sky exactly, but an actual window into the outer atmosphere. I can imagine floating up and piercing through to space." - André Hemer

Emily Wolfe: Disappearing Act
M+P | Art Gallery, Oxfordshire, U.K.
17 October —
07 November 2020
A new series of paintings by Oxford based NZ Painter Emily Wolfe. Emily has long been interested in what we can’t see – the unknown, the hidden, the area lying beyond what is visible or known. Her new series extends this interest by including what appear to be old master styled landscape paintings retrieved from perhaps an estate sale. Added to them are her own quirky signs of work – discarded furniture pieces, unwritten note pages, pieces of gauze stuck to and disrupting the serenity.

Dane Mitchell at Bangkok Art Biennale
BAB Box, One Bangkok, Thailand
12 October 2020 —
31 January 2021
Bangkok Art Biennale (BAB) is a biannual art festival set in various venues of the capital of Thailand. This year marks the second instalment of the Biennale. Visitors are able to immerse themselves in an array of artworks and performances from a diverse range of artists, both local and international, throughout the heart of Bangkok, in galleries, public spaces, and iconic landmarks. In addition, they are accompanied by conferences, workshops, guided visits, and publications to ensure a memorable and holistic experience. Three venues open on 12th October 2020, while the remaining venues open on 29th October. Dane Mitchell’s practice speculates on what is material and explores systems of knowledge or belief and people’s experiences of them. Dealing with the way things transform or transmit and the presence of material forces and the unseen, his work transmutes invisible phenomena into tangible forms as sculptural objects and images, connecting the sensual and the cognizant, and teasing out the potential for objects and ideas to appear and disappear.

07 November 2020
On October 8, Hollis Taggart opens These Days, artist André Hemer’s first solo exhibition in New York. The presentation will feature a selection of new paintings and sculpture created by Hemer during the worldwide shutdowns spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new works reflect Hemer’s ongoing engagement with nature, and in particular the cycles of the rising and setting sun, which have especially drawn his attention in the sudden quieting of his home city of Vienna. These Days will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring an essay by writer Victoria Scott. Hemer joined the gallery’s contemporary program in August 2019 and has since been included in a wide range of its fair and group presentations. André Hemer’s new work is also currently being presented by LUIS DE JESUS gallery, Los Angeles, in an online viewing room. Titled Sunset / Sunrise, the digital presentation will remain on view through November 30, 2020

Evacuation Tapes launches

02 October —
31 December 2020
Initiated by Berlin-based artist Ruth Buchanan, Evacuation Tapes is a collection of writing that posits the very real paradox of the precarious and staunch (female) body as lived and encountered within society, front and centre. It looks at the ways in which certain life structures draw out or exaggerate the relationship between these forces—the weak, the strong. The collection explicitly folds out from a selection of poems by J. C. Sturm, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant Māori women writers of the twentieth century. Sturm’s poetry is placed in relation to new writing by five women working today: Ruth Buchanan, Anna Gritz, Sarah Hopkinson, Hanahiva Rose, and Sriwhana Spong.

For Busan Biennale 2020, curator Jacob Fabricius invited ten fiction writers and one poet to write on the characteristics of the city of Busan as a conceptual basis for selecting the artists, each responding through new commissions and existing works within the context of the exhibition. The authors—which represent different generations, genres, and writing styles—have each created and written fictional layers around and about the city, some with direct reference to Busan, others through indirect and ephemeral urban tales involving the locale. Mixing past, present, and future, the artists and writers involved in Words at an Exhibition — an exhibition in ten chapters and five poems use Busan as a backdrop in ways that create a narrative that simultaneously combines reality, history, and imagination through experiences of contemporary fiction, a focus on soundscapes and film works, as well as paintings, photographs, sculptures, and site-specific installations.

Skulpturenpark Köln, Cologne, Germany

31 July 2022
ÜberNatur – Natural Takeover, the 10th biannual KölnSkulptur exhibition of contemporary outdoor sculpture, addresses notions of "nature" and the complex ways it is represented and examined, domesticated and despoiled. Inspired by the location of the public park, wedged between the Rhine, the Cologne Zoo, the Flora and the adjacent Botanical Garden, this latest iteration of KölnSkulptur includes eight new artworks in the Skulpturenpark Köln, a unique exhibition venue featuring loaned works from past KölnSkulptur exhibitions, interspersed amongst the permanent collection amassed by Michael and Eleonore Stoffel. These eight new works disrupt and destabilise ideas of "nature" through interventions and core concerns that decenter the primacy of the human and open up vistas of communal ecology and care. Curated by Tobias Berger. Dane Mitchell’s work, the largest of the group, features two artificial trees designed to camouflage mobile data antennae and surveillance equipment, originally mass-produced in China and presented in the New Zealand exhibition Post hoc at the Venice Biennale in 2019.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition of Edinburgh Art Festival was cancelled. The Festival invited 10 artists from previous editions, to present work to mark the dates of what would have been the 2020 festival (30 July – 30 August). Originally commissioned for the 2017 edition of the Edinburgh Art Festival, Shannon Te Ao's With the sun aglow, I have my pensive moods, counterposes a dance scene of intense intimacy and colour, with a sequence filmed in black and white of barren open landscapes, to offer a poetic meditation on love, loss and grief.
