Inside Out

Artgenève 2022 will be the first public display of works from the African Contemporary art and of the Diaspora collection of the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art. Between figures hidden from view or opulently revealed, Inside Out offers an immersion into the heart of the collection. 

Curator: Olivia Fahmy

Through some fifteen figurative works from the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art, the proposition entitled Inside Out suggests apparent formal similarities, revealing a plurality of artistic practices. The costumes, headbands, masks and balloons that hide the various figures contrast with the vulnerability of a self-portraits series, of bodies laid bare or immortalized in demonstrative poses. The title evokes a motion between the inside and the outside, and a possible reversal of the gaze. The works in this selection of the collection of African Contemporary Art and of the Diaspora reflect a constant shift between the presumed obviousness of what is displayed, and the ambiguity of what remains hidden.

With: Derrick Adams, Léonce Raphaël Agbodjelou, Moustapha Baïdi Oumarou, Daniel Bamigbade, Mohamed Said Chair, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Romuald Hazoumè, Lola Keyezua, Tessa Mars, Henry Mzili Mujunga, Aïda Muluneh, Vitshois Mwilambwe Bondo, Athi-Patra Ruga, Mary Sibande, Didier Viodé.
