Monochromatic, Ajrakh DNA pattern sequences & Nail Strings
The Monochromatic series will be shown in Nieuw Dakota together with Guzman’s Dukkha Series, in which an assemblage of geometric thread and photo sculptures with influences of Constructivism come together with the culture of the Congolese Diaspora in Panama. The installation at Nieuw Dakota shows us a fascinating universe in which cultural influences from all over the globe come together: the enigmatic anatomy drawings by Jean-Michel Basquiat meet geometrical textile prints from northern India, which merge with the ritual ‘cosmos drawings’ by Günther Uecker as well as the nail patterns in Congolese Nkisi figures.
Opening: October 15th, 4-6 pm
Exhibition: October 15 – November 19
Public Program: October 28: During the 24 hours Amsterdam Noord, the artists invite us to a 15 minute performance with a live barrel organ and visuals related to the installation.
