National Museum of African Art
Artists in Dialogue: Antonio Ole and Aime Mpane
February 4, 2009 – July 21, 2009
Artists in Dialogue is a new series of exhibitions in which talented African artists are invited to participate in a visual dialogue whereby each artist responds to the work of the other, resulting in original, site-specific works for the museum. In this first exhibition, Antonio Ole of Angola and Aime Mpane of the Democratic Republic of Congo—two artists less familiar to U.S. audiences—bring their subtle and sophisticated manipulation of found and organic materials to create visually rich multimedia installations that speak to the political and economic challenges of their home countries.
