We are very excited to share about our fellow Jean Katambayi Mukendi's solo exhibition Délestage at Micki Meng gallery in Paris, France.

This exhibition is a collection of treasures, some of his greatest still-existing works, cobbled together from a decade of international storage efforts by his die hard supporters. Five recent Afrolampes, in series, and two Afrolampes made earlier, on different paper. Three iconic, rare Mukendi sculptures: Lester, from 2011, the title a reversal of dèlestage, which Mukendi says means "you don't deserve electricity every day" - because the power and water goes on and off, in the very country that supplies most of the raw materials for the rest of the world's electronics.

You can see the exhibition until 11 October, 2024.
