Sammy Baloji M�moire June 2nd � July 4th 2010 CGP London in partnership with Autograph ABP, are pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in the UK of Congolese photographer and filmmaker Sammy Baloji, in the newly renovated Dilston Grove. M�moire is a beautifully crafted and abstracted artist's video, shot in collaboration with the performance artist Faustin Linyekula, exhibited alongside a newly commissioned large-scale photographic work. Shining a powerful spotlight on contemporary Congolese reality, M�moire investigates the body and documents urban architecture, despite restrictions on photographing public sites. Baloji�s artwork calls for greater awareness of the local consequences of 'development' and reveals the impact of exploitative cultures on society and the environment. The exhibition is accompanied by an artist's book available during the exhibition. The staging of M�moire is supported by the Goethe-Institut Nairobi. The preview of M�moire on Thursday, 27 May from 6pm � 8pm features a viewing of Making Ships in Bottles, a group exhibition with Rebecca Lennon, Gail Pickering, Olivia Plender, Suzanne Treister and Bik Van der Pol at CGP London�s other venue, Cafe Gallery - a purpose-built gallery located just a few minutes away in Southwark Park. Dilston Grove Southwark Park London SE16 2DD Tel: +44 (0)20 7237 1230 E: [email protected] cafegalleryprojects.org |
