New Zealand artist Dane Mitchell‘s artwork – Post Hoc, is currently on as part of the Venice Biennale in Italy. Known as the Olympics of art, the Venice Biennale is pretty much the ‘top’ for artists. New Zealand’s 2019 representative is Dane Mitchell, whose project delivers cryptic lists of the vanished, the lost, or the destroyed. Mitchell’s work broadcasts a vast inventory of bygone things to locations throughout the city via fake tree cell towers, providing smartphone access via hotspot which you can hear the lists. At the Palazzina Canonica – the epi-center of the work, scrolling lengths of paper lists emerge from a printer placed high upon a structural frame, they cascade down settling in ripples on the floor, forming an elegantly minimal installation of all that which has been lost.
