Relationships:
Nathaniel Katz is a Canadian-American-Israeli artist living in Italy. The aim of his creative work is to creatively engage with life. The focus is always on the intimacy of relationships. At times this work takes on more recognizable forms such as a video of a skype conversation with his father where he learns how to milk a cow, at times the work is hardly recognizable at all, such as the ocassion in which he joined his grandmother for a road trip. Most of the time the work exists somewhere in between, a creative engagement in life which is then framed in an art context, for example a performance in which a former student and he rode bicycles for 90 miles to meet halfway. Over the past three years he has been collaborating with the Italian artist Valentina Curandi (who is also his wife). The work that they have done together is on their collaborative website curandikatz.net
