2024-09-04 | Bernard Akoi-Jackson curated exhibition at Science and Technology museum in Accra, Ghana
Our fellow Bernard Akoi-Jackson curated a solo exhibition What he sees when he goes strolling by a wonderful Ghanian artist Elolo Bosoka.
You can see the exhibition at Museum of Science and Technology.
A person takes a stroll in the urban sphere and begins to notice things. This person is an artist, so, in noticing too, there is a sense of unhurried attention that is paid to the things, and these evoke inspiring thoughts. This person is Elolo Bosoka and as he is strolling, clusters and constellations of cues are fleetingly passing him by as he also by-passes sites, places, and a host of spaces. What does he see?
The collection of works in …what he sees when he goes strolling… [paintings, collages, patched works, installations, lithographic prints, objects, and videos] is inspired by Bosoka’s everyday experiences of cities such as Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Dakar, Berlin, Copenhagen, and so are almost abridged quotes from the ordinary, that have been distilled into these crystalline wonders stirred by wander[ing]. Having been produced in artistic experimentation over and through the past five years, they have been brought together in Museum of Science and Technology, (MST), Accra, in Elolo Bosoka’s desire to share a largely comprehensive practice with a larger public.
The exhibition is open until 30 September.
Opening: 12 September, 5 pm.
