Finalist for the Henrike Grohs Art Award 2020
“I read somewhere that theater was not made in the studio but in the processes so I like this word construct because it aptly defines my visual language which emphasizes how the work produces vs how the work is produced. This can especially be seen in my drawings & video work where I construct & assemble objects, spare parts and movements. A Movement performs a walk & creates a path. ” – Jackie Karuti

Finalist for the Henrike Grohs Art Award 2020 @jackiethe3rd based in Nairobi, Kenya, where her practice is largely experimental and employs the use of new media through drawings, video, installations and performance art.

Finaliste pour le Henrike Grohs Art Award 2020
"J’ai lu quelque part que le théâtre n’était pas fait dans le studio mais dans les processus ; j’aime bien ce mot ‘construire’, parce qu’il définit judicieusement mon langage visuel qui souligne comment l’œuvre produit vs comment l’œuvre est produite. Cela se voit tout particulièrement dans mes dessins et mon travail vidéo dans lequel je construis et j’assemble des objets, des pièces de rechange et des mouvements. Un mouvement accomplit une marche et crée un chemin. " – Jackie Karuti

Finaliste pour le Henrike Grohs Art Award 2020 @ jackiethe3rd basée à Nairobi, au Kenya, où sa pratique est largement expérimentale et utilise les nouveaux médias à travers des dessins, des vidéos, des installations et des arts de la performance.
