On-Trade-Off: The Weight of Wonders
t/m Zaterdag 21 December 2019
Vanaf 16 november tonen we in samenwerking met Cargo in Context de thematische tentoonstelling The Weight of Wonders rond het bijzondere artistieke traject On-Trade-Off dat is geïnitieerd door de kunstenaarsinitiatieven Picha (Lubumbashi, DRC) en Enough Room for Space (Brussel, BE). De expo laat het werk zien van o.a. Maarten Vanden Eynde & Musasa, Marjolijn Dijkman en Sammy Baloji.
Sammy Baloji, George Senga, Daddy Tshikaya, Musasa and Jean Katambu are amongst the DRC artists exploring the most important resource for ‘green energy’, lithium. But why are local communities neglected? A series of new individually and collectively made artworks are part of this project involving the Amsterdam-based Cargo in Context and Vlaams Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond in collaboration with the Thami Mnyele Foundation and Amsterdam Art Weekend, the Lubumbashi Biennal, Galerie Imane Farès (France) and Contour Biennal Mechelen (Belgium). The research project was initiated by Picha in Lubumbashi and Enough Room for Space in Brussels. Senga is the winner of the 2019 Thami Mnyele Award.
