Exposição de Mário Macilau, 27 de julho, NAIROBI

KUONA TRUST Center for Visual Arts in Nairobi, A Embaixada do Reino Unido e da Holanda em Nairobi, apresentam o trabalho final do artista Moçambicano, Mário Macilau, que está em residência artística no Kenya.

Estamos vivendo um momento histórico de agravamento dos sérios problemas ambientais no mundo. As diversas pesquisas divulgadas nos últimos anos comprovam que a relação do homem com a natureza tem sido extremamente predatória, nos levando a uma crise ecológica nunca vista antes, que além de afectar a dinâmica dos ecossistemas em todo o mundo, coloca em risco a própria manutenção da vida humana na Terra.

LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD é uma exposição individual do fotografo e videasta Mário Macilau que integra fotografias em grande formato sobre afalha humana em relação ao tratamento do meio ambiente. A exposição será também composta por uma instalação adaptada que abrange novos vídeos e som ambiente gravados em Nairobi.

'Not in the title' / Sam Hopkins

Not in the title / photocollage 2011Not in the title / photocollage 2011

Sam Hopkins´ installation „Not in the title“ is inspired by Nigerian and Ghanaian horror movies from the collection of the Iwalewa-Haus. A selection of these movies is shown in the original version mixed with manipulated sequences that are integrated digitally. The installation asks about authenticity and searches for the reception of global artworks in a local context.

Sam Hopkins lives in Nairobi (Kenya). His art is concerned with public space and interactivity. Examples are the media collective Slum TV and Urban Mirror Nairobi.

Exhibition from 27-11-11 / 04-03-12
