Join us in welcoming the internationally acclaimed Nigerian-American artist and professor Nnenna Okore (Chicago) in her first solo show in Munich under the title “The Way Things Are”. Okore’s work continues to shape global conversations in contemporary art. She recently completed a major site-specific installation, “Between Earth and Sky”, at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London. Her monumental glass work, “Together We Belong, Here” — produced by Mayer’sche Hofkunstanstalt, Munich — was recently commissioned and unveiled by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, USA. An additional large-scale glass installation in Baltimore, USA, will be unveiled later this year.
The artist will be present.
