ROTATIONSHIPS is Augustine Kofie stripped down to the essence of his practice. The opening reception is this Saturday, March 12th from 7-10pm - free and open to the public.
Created over three years, the series reflects the artist's long-standing interest in salvaging forgotten remnants of the past and elevating them by repurposing them with a futuristic aesthetic. For years, the artist has obsessively collected, archived, and repurposed pressboard, a heavy, multi-ply paper stock used in packaging and office supplies from the 1950s to the 1980s. Previously, pressboard has appeared as the hidden architecture in Kofie's collages, subsequently covered with layers of paint, ink, and spray. In ROTATIONSHIPS, the only "paint" used is the colored pressboard itself; brushes only apply adhesive and varnish.
