Artist Talk | Casey Larkin Mazer Carsel in conversation with Grace Ryder
Saturday 16 November, 11am–12noon
Free to attend, all welcome
Please join us for an Artist Talk with Casey Larkin Mazer Carsel in conversation with Grace Ryder on the final day of Carsel's solo exhibition, When a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick (but we sing, we still sing).
Casey Larkin Mazer Carsel is a New Zealand-born, Jewish editor, writer and artist. Her practice focuses on communal narratives and how they are constructed, passed through generations and throughout the world, and how these stories shape identities and form interpersonal connections. What is held onto? What is forgotten? What is lost in translation? Her work is often laced with dark humour as she explores themes such as grief, storytelling, ritual and culturally specific jokes.
A recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s MFA in Writing program, Carsel has held solo exhibitions at MEANWHILE onsite and online, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, and Window Online Gallery, Tāmaki Makaurau. Her writing has been published by The Seen, F Newsmagazine, Clark House Initiative, Adam Art Gallery and Hamster, amongst others. Carsel is a co-founder of Plates, a journal of art and culture whose first issue is forthcoming later this year.
