Vidéo Club New Zealand, Takiwā Hou: Imagining New Spaces
Partnership
For the second international edition of “Vidéo Club”, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in France joins forces with Te Tuhi in Aotearoa New Zealand in an exchange initiated by curator Marie Griffay and supported by Contemporary HUM.
In this exchange, FRAC presents works by three Māori moving image artists, Russ Flatt, Kahurangiariki Smith and Suzanne Tamaki, taken from Te Tuhi’s 2024 exhibition Takiwā Hou: Imagining New Spaces. These works use a variety of subject matter, including karaoke, photogrammetry and social networks, to explore Indigenous spaces and possibilities that have yet to see the light of day. Aotearoa audiences can then see works by French artists Anouk Nier-Nantes, Émilie Pierson and Marina Smorodinova, at Te Tuhi in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
