Ys Blue is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, practicing within the realms of object making, poetry, performance, and the expanded field of craft. Their practice is driven by a material obsession that aspires to undress taboos, interrogate subsumation, and resist commodification. Often working between the liturgical and the pornographic, Blue undoes the binds of function, discipline, and exchange. Blue completed a diploma in Art and Craft (Ceramics) from Hungry Creek Art and Craft School in 2017 and a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Sculpture) from AUT in 2020.
Veale Moss is a well balanced microbiome. The creatures within have likely forgotten about you. It's best if you leave a sterile offering in the jar and keep it sealed for another 30 years. Or at least as long as it takes for the cells to cluster together and form a clear memory.
Odeious is the sonic and performance alias of Kat Lang. Working through the methodology of musique concrete, Odeious uses noise, mimetics, and strategies of confrontation. Within their performances the viewer becomes object, the tool becomes instrument, and the hand becomes weapon. Kat Lang is an artist currently based in Tāmaki Makaurau, working across music, night life and entertainment industries. They completed their BFA (Hons) at Massey University in 2020. Their work revolves an interest in surveillance, bio/necropolitics, audienceship and absurdity.
Ritual Heaps is psychic defence music: minimalist, repetitive explorations in volume and stress that form a protective aural palisade against modern deprivations and broken hearts. Working across electro-acoustic and synth noise.
