Lecture
On Universality and Multiplicity: Curating from the Void
Conceived by Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh, curator in residence of the program Curating Connections 2018/2019, organized by KfW Stiftung and DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program.
—
During their presentation, Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh and Tracy Naa Koshie Thompson will introduce their respective independent curatorial and artistic practices as examples of the “silent revolution” initiated by blaxTARLINES KUMASI—the contemporary art incubator based at the Department of Painting and Sculpture at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST)—towards universalism, in the context of contemporary art practice in Ghana.
Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh is an artist, curator and writer based in Kumasi, Ghana. He is the current grant holder of KfW Stiftung’s program “Curators in Residence: Curating Connections” in collaboration with the DAAD artists-in-Berlin program.
Tracy Naa Koshie Thompson (Ghana) explores the latent ability of ubiquitous materials (synthetic or natural) to transform into unrecognizable, strange, new and mimicry forms. For this purpose, she employs alchemical processes of dissolution and crystallization of the varied morphology of things. Thompson’s emancipated approach to making art creates a disposition that transcends given notions of the art apparatus itself and questions what it could potentially be.
