Into the Night:
Cabarets and Clubs
in Modern Art
04.10.2019 to 19.01.2020, Barbican Art Gallery, London
This exhibition spanned an overview from the 1880s
to the 1960s and explored cabarets, cafes, and clubs
as spaces of creativity. Into the Night delivered insight
into the atmosphere of Berlin clubs during the Weimar
Republic, the energy of Harlem’s jazz scene, the vibrant
context of the Mbari clubs in 1960s Nigeria, and many
more.

Layers
07.12.2019 to 28.06.2020, extended because of the
COVID-19 pandemic to 03.01.2021
Displaying a wide range of archival materials and restaging
seminal Nigerian art exhibitions, Layers highlights a
set of events and exhibitions, which took place in Nigeria
between 1960 and the turn of the 21st century, like
the exhibition of the independence, the exhibitions and
workshops around the Mbari artgroups of Ibadan and
Oshogbo, FESTAC ’77, the Nsukka art-movement, and
the art collective AKA, 1986. The exhibition will offer a
contemporary reinterpretation of the notion of layers.
