Kambui Olujimi
Artist Files Fellow
Kambui Olujimi invites his audience to share and make literal trades, such as photo exchanges and opportunities for penny-wishing, and uses these activities to bring the audience into a world of imagination within an installation or sculptural environment. His approach to engaging audience through these literal exchanges, and the way these interactions function to bring a wide range of audiences into rich mythological fantasies, is particularly lyrical and generous.
Gallery visitors exchange photographs as part of Kambui’s ongoing project, A Life in Pictures, at MIT List Visual Arts Center (January 21 – February 23, 2014).
