Archie Moore knew he wanted to call his Venice Biennale show kith and kin from the very beginning. In simple terms, it means ‘friends and family’ but in reality, the title draws from their Old English usage.
So, ‘kith’ relates not just to friends but countrymen and one’s own land, while ‘kin’ is family members.
To Archie this usage feels like a First Nations understanding of the terms.
It’s one of the few hints Archie is able to share about the work he’ll be presenting at the Venice Biennale – which is sometimes thought of as the Art Olympics.
The other hint was a digitally altered found photograph of Fredrick Noel Clevens.
