This catalogue was published by Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in collaboration with Villa Arson Nice on the occasion of Nkanga’s solo exhibitions When Looking Across the Sea, Do You Dream? at Villa Arson Nice and Of Cords Curling around Mountains at Castello di Rivoli. In addition to unpublished poems by the artist, this book includes new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Marcella Beccaria, and an interview with the artist by Éric Mangion. The catalogue documents the two exhibitions with entries on all the artworks and installation views. It also includes a scholarly chronology covering the artist’s exhibition history from her debut in 1995 up to the present. The anthology contains seminal essays by Anne Barlow, Okwui Enwezor, Natasha Ginwala, Emanuele Guidi, Nav Haq, M. Neelika Jayawardane, Mwenya B. Kabwe, Omar Kholeif, Yvette Mutumba, Bonaventure Ndikung, Philippe Pirotte, Stephanie Rosenthal, Jérôme Sans, Bisi Silva, Danielle Tilkin, and Helen Welford |
