‘Poetics of Material’ is on extended view at our LA gallery until February 18th. The exhibition imagines the natural and manufactured object as an unconscious archive of a constantly evolving society capable of storing memory and producing new narratives. Inviting artists whose work explores the physical and textural qualities of material, it examines the transformation of form and object; as both an inquiry into design aesthetics and an engagement with social history and contemporary life.
Featuring the works of contemporary African artists: Nnenna Okore, Marcellina Akpojotor, daaPo Reo, Ayobola Kekere-Ekun, and Admire Kamudzengerere.
