Announcing the commissions from the Arrhythmia open call
Book Works and Katrina Palmer are delighted to announce four new commissions for the Arrhythmia series, following an open call in 2021 which received over 200 submissions.
Guest-edited by artist Katrina Palmer, Arrhythmia is a new series that offers an opportunity for artists and writers whose work explores ideas of being out of joint with the predominant social order, whether through disrupted trajectories, physical displacement, or political dissonance. We were particularly interested in experimental work that articulates a discontinuous sense of identity, and writing, or the combination of writing and images in which the rhythm of the text is self-consciously questioned. Congratulations to the commissioned artists and we look forward to working with you.
The commissioned artists are:
Kamwangi Njue is a multidisciplinary artist working in sonic and textual ways. He has released poems and texts, features and fictions // developed, participated, and delivered a range of collaborative projects and events including performances, shows, exhibitions, texts, and readings.
