Kahlil Joseph: Another BLKNWS
“Artist and filmmaker Kahlil Joseph’s self-described ‘conceptual news program’, is different from the sleekly produced merchandise of corporate television. Yes, his can be noisy too, and the pace of his editing is quick. But the stories don’t develop, they accrue. Joseph’s programming is textured and eccentric, which is not the stuff of cable. The whole is bigger than the sum of its parts.” —Los Angeles Times

2021 recipient of The Herb Alpert Award in the Arts in Film/Video, Kahlil Joseph’s multi-faceted practice embraces cinema, visual art, sound, and media. His films and video installations are deployed in both mainstream environments and the art world, from the Venice Biennale to a Black-owned barbershop in Washington, D.C. Joseph currently serves as the artistic director of The Underground Museum, a pioneering independent art museum, exhibition space, and community hub in Los Angeles. Premiered at Sundance 2020, Joseph’s ongoing conceptual news program, BLKNWS, is a multi-site video installation. The constantly changing two-channel project—with its uninterrupted flow of found footage, originally produced segments, and current and historical news clips expanding on the current power of broadcast journalism—ultimately does away with hierarchy of information. REDCAT presents it as a one-hour broadcast.
