HUMcard: notes from an artist

Digital mailout series

The HUMcard is an exclusive mailout series originally developed for Contemporary HUM's supporters, offering an intimate, unmediated look into international projects by Aotearoa artists and curators.

Each edition features exclusive images alongside a short text written directly by the practitioner, providing insights into the contexts, challenges and motivations behind exhibitions and residencies, and inviting the HUM community directly into the studios and processes of globally active creatives.

Writing

A Film Glossary

By José B. Segebre

29.11.2023

After a conversation with Frankfurt-based, Waipukurau-born artist Juliet Carpenter, José B. Segebre shaped the ideas discussed into this experimental glossary. The entries highlight the ways in which Carpenter’s practice is informed by film and theatre history, and is deeply engaged in the friction of contemporary politics and technologies.

Project

Kunst Kopfüber / Art Upside Down

Partnership

The Goethe-Institut New Zealand and Contemporary HUM present a series of portraits about New Zealand artists who have found a new physical - and artistic - home in Germany. Kunst Kopfüber / Art Upside Down invites six international writers and curators to look at the practice of six contemporary artists from Aotearoa working across a variety of mediums, from video art to painting; large-scale installation to poetry. The written portraits about contemporary painter Sam Rountree Williams and poet Hinemoana Baker kick off this collaborative series.
