Serge Alain Nitegeka exhibition: 'Structural-Response II'
The SCAD Museum of Art presents "Structural-Response II," a monumental installation of new sculpture and painting by Serge Alain Nitegeka created specifically for the museum's Pamela Elaine Poetter Gallery during deFINE Art 2015. Conceived as a performance sculpture, the work confronts the viewer with a tall, labyrinthine assemblage of black-lacquered wooden beams and invites them to choreograph their own passage through the space. The entanglement and dislocation expressed in Nitegeka’s work reference his personal experiences of escape and migration. Three new large-scale paintings and two recent sculptures from his "Fragile Cargo" series will accompany the site-specific sculptural installation.
This is Nitegeka’s first museum exhibition in the U.S.
This exhibition is curated by Alexandra Sachs, SCAD curator of exhibitions.
