Hello everyone, On behalf of the entire team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us this evening live from NYC via Zoom (7pm ET / 4pm PT) for our weekly free and interactive tour. #115 Considering Art: Considering Exchange - featuring urgent work by Ibrahim Mahama. Ibrahim Mahama <https://whitecube.com/artists/artist/ibrahim_mahama> (he/him) uses the transformation of materials to explore themes of commodity, migration, globalisation and economic exchange. Often made in collaboration with others, his large-scale installations employ materials gathered from urban environments, such as remnants of wood, or jute sacks which are stitched together and draped over architectural structures. Mahama’s interest in material, process and audience first led him to focus on jute sacks that are synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works. Fabricated in South East Asia, the sacks are imported by the Ghana Cocoa Boards to transport cocoa beans and eventually end up as multi- functional objects, used for the transportation of food, charcoal and other commodities. ‘You find different points of aesthetics within the surface of the sacks’ fabric’, Mahama has said. ‘I am interested in how crisis and failure are absorbed into this material with a strong reference to global transaction and how capitalist structures work'. In this tour, we embark on some close looking. Together we ask: What do you see?
