Luke Willis Thompson in Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry

07.05.2025

In February 2025, Contemporary HUM spoke with Luke Willis Thompson from Sharjah Biennial 16 about his commissioned work Whakamoeamoeā. Set on Waitangi Day in 2040 as a public broadcast, the film imagines constitutional transformation in Aotearoa New Zealand, giving form to an Indigenous-focused dream of the future.

Project

Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry

In February 2025, Contemporary HUM was on the ground during the opening week of Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry, co-curated by Aotearoa curator Megan Tamati-Quennell with Alia Swastika, Amal Khalaf, Natasha Ginwala and Zeynep Öz.

Sharjah Biennial 16 convenes under the title “to carry”, a multivocal and open-ended proposition that connects stories and traditions across generations and cultures. The five co-curators of Sharjah Biennial 16 present their projects both individually and collectively, gathering under the rubric of a single proposition: What does it entail to carry a home, ancestors and political formations with you?

Megan Tamati-Quennell’s project assembles a significant number of artists and practitioners from Aotearoa New Zealand: Albert L. Refiti, Ana Iti, Fiona Pardington, Kate Newby, Mara TK, Saffronn Te Ratana, Luke Willis Thompson, Michael Parekōwhai and Te Matahiapo Collective, whose projects collectively speak to themes of place, space and whakapapa (genealogy).

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.

Crossing Currents: Episode 3

By Contemporary HUM

06.07.2024

Contemporary HUM interviews artist Caitlin Devoy about BODYOBJECTS, her presentation in the 2024 edition of Personal Structures in Venice. Speaking to HUM in April 2024, Devoy discusses using humour as a feminist strategy to challenge the power relations encoded in gallery spaces, resulting in works that refuse disembodied objectivity in favour of tactility, subjectivity and intuition.
