Ima-Abasi Okon @ Chisenhale Gallery

Ima-Abasi Okon works with sculpture, sound and video to produce installations that explore the historical and political charge of materials. Previous works have included the artist’s own jewellery, used as a filter between spaces, or contained within medical liquids. For this exhibition, Okon repurposes industrial and handmade objects, removing their use-value or function, in order to explore the formation of subjectivity, productivity and excess.
