INSITE is pleased to announce ‘Nolan Oswald Dennis: Demonstrations (i)’, an exhibition opening this October at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, CA. Informed by the study of geological and planetary systems, and situated within African and diasporic relations to the land, cosmos, and anti-colonial political structures, Dennis’ work approaches the world as it is while mapping possibilities for transforming it. ‘Demonstrations (i)’ marks the West Coast premiere of ‘Isivivane’, an ongoing project that replicates rock specimens from geology museums and university departments in South Africa and parts of the world where the work has been shown. Originally commissioned in 2021 for ‘Reverse Forward and All at Once’, curated by Gabi Ngcobo for INSITE Commonplaces in Johannesburg, this project has since traveled to the Kunstinstituut Melly in Rotterdam, the Swiss Institute in New York, and Gasworks in London.
