ZAC LANGDON-POLE
b. 1988, New ZealandZac Langdon-Pole’s practice is situated across varying magnitudes of time. With an eye for minute detail, he sifts through history on both personal and planetary scales. His work contests the his- torical accounts and myths attributed to the origins of personal and cultural objects by subjecting them to alchemic, human and natural processes. Hypothesising that authenticity exists as a culti- vation of disparate perspectives, Langdon-Pole underlines the biases of history (namely colonial legacies) and examines the residue of socio-cultural exchanges, exoticism and ornamentation.
His works are physical manifestations of personal histories converging with larger social develop- ments and collective legacies.
Langdon-Pole studied under Willem de Rooij at the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Frankfurt, Germany. In 2017 Langdon-Pole was the recipient of the Ars Viva-Prize and in 2018 he was awarded the BMW Art Journey Prize, which saw him travel the globe, following the pathways of migratory birds and celestial navigators. A major survey of his practice, Containing Multitudes, was presented at City Gallery, Wellington in 2020.
