Temitayo Ogunbiyi: You will have revelations along felled branches and longer roots/routes
@ The Arts Club of Chicago
201 E Ontario St, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Wednesday, September 17th, from 5:30 - 8
On view through Friday, December 19th
Lagos-based artist Temitayo Ogunbiyi brings to The Arts Club of Chicago a series of botanical drawings and paintings, along with You will count those whose names you may never know (abacus), a newly-commissioned installation in the garden. In preparing for this exhibition, her first in the Midwest, Ogunbiyi has focused attention on local plant life and its medicinal capacities. She sits down with New York Times columnist Siddhartha Mitter, known for his work about creative communities, to discuss these ideas and her practice at large. As an extension of the exhibition, there will be a number of community activations both on site and in the city of Chicago (see ice cream!). The opening night conversation is co-sponsored by Goethe-Institut.
