 | This exhibition inaugurates a new series in which talented African artists are invited to participate in a dialogue - a visual one in which each artist responds to the work of the other, and resulting in original, site-specific works for the National Museum of African Art. Two artists less familiar to U.S. audiences, António Ole of Angola and Aimé Mpane of Democratic Republic of Congo, will bring their subtle and sophisticated manipulation of found and organic materials to create visually rich, multi-media installations that speak to the political and economic challenges of their home countries. Both artists will visit for approximately two weeks to install and discuss their works, and offer programs in conjunction with D.C. area schools and universities. There will also be a Web podcast.
Organized by Karen Milbourne and sponsored by DeBeers Incorporated
