Henry Turner
Rim Books is ecstatic to be involved in publishing and distributing A.P.G.A. – the third artist book by Henry Turner (b.2000, Papatahora, Aotearoa/New Zealand).
Turner lives and works between Kā Pakihi Whakatekateka o Waitaha, Aotearoa and Frankfurt, Germany creating work that occupies a space that categories fail to hold. Turner prefers slippage, residue and the refusal of clear edges. Rejecting an overarching thesis, meaning instead accrues through ritual, obsession and repetition.
A.P.A.G. is his latest amalgamation of his outputs since 2022. This include painting, sculpture, stills from a film, drawings, ceramics, conversation, writing and found texts and objects, collages, photographs and imaginings from the far reaches of the galaxy and history.
In the words of a gallerist from Ōtautahi, A.P.G.A. as body of work draws together “an immersive exploration of religion and irreligion, faith, divination and city-making rich with literary, historical and cultural references. Meticulously executed, intriguing in their multiplicity of form and allusion, the works in A.P.G.A frame a unique line of inquiry into human belief”.
