BLWKNWS at Patta Amsterdam Patta

Kahlil Joseph’s work BLKNWS is now on view at Patta Amsterdam, with new video imagery. BLKNWS (2018–2019) is an installation consisting of a two-channel video presented on large LED screens against a wall covered with photo wallpaper. The work is part of the Bonnefanten collection and is currently on view during the Warmoes Biennale.

The installation questions the concept of “news” and critically examines the conventions of traditional news media, which derive their authority from claims of objectivity and reliability. In a media landscape increasingly shaped by disinformation and fake news, the status of truth and factuality is shifting.

BLKNWS explores how we might reposition ourselves in relation to news, information, and representation in such a context and what role art can play in this. Alongside BLKNWS at the Warmoes Biennale, the work is also on view at Bonnefanten in Maastricht through August 30.
