about

spoken word + electric improv -

James Robinson is a mid career contemporary New Zealand mixed media artist, exhibiting widely since 1989 - www.jamesrobinson.nz

fiffdimension is music and multimedia by Dave Edwards (aka Dave Black) and collaborators, since 1998 - www.fiffdimension.com
‐‐-------

James recorded himself in 2022. He describes his creative process.

The musical accompaniment updates Dave's solo style from 20 years prior (is culture up to this point in the nostalgia cycle?) - fiffdimension.bandcamp.com/album/after-the-filmshoot-2002 and fiffdimension.bandcamp.com/album/mantis-shaped-worrying-2002 - dissonant guitar and bass soundtracks) - this time to another artist's words.
-----------------------------

James won 2007 paramount prize in the wallace award for
" Taniwaha dragon mother ( spirit bones)"

‘... a great big flatulent belch of fresh air amongst all the tight-sphinctered, deodorised boys and girls of the accepted national art world..... off-kilter and threatening but always sumptuously, gloriously beautiful.’ - Chris Knox.

Robinson lived in New York..and has made research trips to Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal, India Morrocco, Fiji, and Invercargill. Recently a major 5 room exhibition of his work was put on in Belgium, by the Nomadic art gallery.

James was brought up in a war ..targetted and held hostage and gaslight with weapons-grade communication.

James makes art as a Male surviver.. And still enjoys life and art.

And looks forward to when the satalights go down..and people look at paintings again.

Currently living and working in Port Chalmers, Dunedin...regularly hosts open studio exhibitions and collaborates with musicians and poets. And will show a mural inspired by LEN LYE in the NEW WALLACE GALLERY in Christchurch, opening next year.
