“Machine Boys“, 2024 and “Cowboy“, 2022 will show at François Ghebaly, LA in a group show curated by Martha Kirszenbaum. Titled “The Miraculous Arms” which takes its point of reference from the writings of Martinican writer and later politician Aimé Césaire.

“The exhibition brings together a heterogeneous ensemble of paintings, drawings, photographs, films, sculptural installations and sound elements produced by seven international artists who explore the social, political, intellectual, and cultural complexity of our post-colonial realities and spaces. The presented works challenge our gaze on the fetishized and marginalized body, and tackle relationships of domination, power, and questions of race.”

François Ghebaly, Los Angeles

Karimah Ashadu, Mohamed Bourouissa, Salim Green, Senga Nengudi, Christelle Oyiri, Pol Taburet, and Minh Lan Tran

Karimah Ashadu’s (b. 1985, London, UK) first institutional solo show in the UK at Camden Art Center will include a major new moving image commission, produced with Fondazione In Between Art Film, and presented within a site-specific installation. Ashadu’s practice employs an intimate and singular lens to examine notions of labour, formations and perceptions of the self, masculinity, and patriarchal systems within the economic, social, and cultural context of West Africa. The exhibition is the second in Fondazione In Between Art Film’s “Unison” series—a commissioning programme for moving image-based exhibitions in collaboration with international institutions. Commissioned by Camden Art Centre and Fondazione In Between Art Film.
