Conceived as a performance sculpture, the work confronts the viewer with a tall, labyrinthine assemblage of black-lacquered wooden beams and invites them to choreograph their own passage through the space. The entanglement and dislocation expressed in Nitegeka’s work reference his personal experiences of escape and migration. Three new large-scale paintings and two recent sculptures from his "Fragile Cargo" series will accompany the site-specific sculptural installation. This is Nitegeka’s first museum exhibition in the U.S.
Presented as part of the deFINE ART 2015 program, Feb. 17-19, 2015.
