Notes

EXHIBITED:
Lagos, Trash-ing: New Works by Kainebi Osahenye, Centre for Contemporary Art, 12 Sep - 10 Oct 2009

"Crossing is made out of several square slabs in which empty oil paint tubes have been flattened and pasted and in some cases painted over and arranged in the form of a cross...The panels, because of its rectangular shape, reveal the boundary and border issues addressed in the artist's past shows while at the same time capturing the cruciform. Significantly, Crossing is a reminder to other artists that what they consider as wastes are items of beauty and capable of provoking thoughts that will shape people's views."
