Collega

𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨, our collaboration with Proyecto CasaMario from Montevideo, officially closes this Thursday (although we will have an extra finissage event on April 25...more info coming soon!).

The exhibition presents two works from 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧's 𝘛ẹ𝘬𝘱ẹ𝘳ẹẹ́ series, where the Copenhagen-based artist alters satellite images of the Delta State rivers (Nigeria) in order to honor its sinuous movement, as well as the life and the memories carried by its waters. The series also points at a history of colonial and capitalist extractivism: for decades, the Niger Delta has been suffering the environmental impact of the oil industries established in the area. Departing from an animist sensibility and a deep connection to the materials they work with, 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧 (re)maps the region in order to channel that stolen energy. The pieces holding up the textiles are made of aluminium, in reference to the mining industry. By signaling the transactional displacement of geological matter (which entangles West Africa and Scandinavia), the artist meditates upon their own diasporic heritage.

𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨 is curated by 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 (𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨, Uruguay) and 𝐉𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚 (𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚). The exhibition is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation and William Demant Fonden.
