Episode Details

Karma Barnes talks with us about CO-Lapses, her atmospheric installation of suspended vessels that slowly release coloured sands to form shifting landscapes on the ground below. Her work often responds to nature, climate disruption and the ways communities adapt and rebuild. This has been a significant period for Karma, with CO-Lapses winning the Grand Prix at the Larnaca Biennale before showing in Shanghai and now at the Beijing International Art Biennale, where she is the first New Zealand artist to exhibit in six years.
