Global Imaginations - 20 toonaangevende hedendaagse kunstenaars uit alle continenten
20 toonaangevende hedendaagse kunstenaars uit alle continenten tonen op uitnodiging van Museum De Lakenhal hun visie op de huidige geglobaliseerde wereld. Dit doen ze aan de hand van bestaand of nieuw werk, waarbij ze zich laten inspireren door Leidse museale collecties. Het resultaat is een boeiende afspiegeling van actuele thema’s en ontwikkelingen in de ons omringende wereld. De werken – vaak grootschalige installaties, videoprojecties, sculpturen, etc. - zijn te zien in De Meelfabriek, een imposant, voormalig industrieel complex aan de rand van Leiden. Tot de geselecteerde kunstenaars behoren de Ghana ThinkTank, een mondiale denktank die in 2006 in Ghana werd opgericht door Christopher Robbins, John Ewing en Matey Odonkor.
New exhibition at the ASC: The Spiritual Highway: Religious World Making in Megacity Lagos
Together with the award-winning Nigerian photographer Akintunde Akinleye, anthropologist Dr. Marloes Janson hit the road in the summer of 2013 to map the most important and busiest Nigerian road - the 120-kilometer long Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. While it has failed as the artery linking the north and the south of Nigeria, the highway has succeeded as a stage for the performance of public religiosity to the extent that it can be described as a 'Spiritual Highway'. The convergence of Christian and Muslim elements makes the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway a true crossroads. At this crossroads prayer camps act as road-builders in rendering meaningful the unstable flux of life in megacity Lagos.
exhibition: Afrika Architecture, Culture & Identity
Proud to announce the opening of Afrika / Architecture, Culture and Identity which will take place on Wednesday June 24. The exhibition will be opened with a speech by ArchiAfrica chairman Joe Osae-Addo. Especially for this exhibition I made four slideshows, showing Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi and Kinshasa, selected out of the large archive that I produced working on Africa Junctions. From the series Africa Junctions - Capturing the City, there will be five large wall-prints shown.
