Title
GEORGES ADÉAGBO
Description
"Georges Adéagbo’s works are spatial assemblages that extend over walls and floors. They juxtapose craft objects with everyday items from different cultures, objets trouvés, flea-market finds, rugs, clothing, records, posters, newspapers books and the artist’s own philosophical texts. Forgoing Western systems of order and hierarchies of value, Adéagbo weaves a complex web of relationships between things, images and ideas. Their non-linear, ramifying co-existence prompts an associative viewing that can bring about numerous interconnections.
These arrangements are both personal and political. Always related to their respective exhibition venue, they locate the artist’s own history within socio-political issues and events of global relevance. Adéagbo counters a knowledge of worldwide conflicts with a utopia of global fellowship reflected in his own boundary-breaking life and work. His intercultural transfer enables the transformation of values, meaning and ideas."
