Elias Sime: Dichotomy ፊት አና jerba
Tanarte, Venice, 2024
Collateral Event of the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Elias Sime: Dichotomy ፊት አና ጀርባ jerba addresses the impact of globalization and technology on the human psyche, debuting with eleven new artworks by the Addis Ababa-based artist, including nine new wall works, a stone sculpture, and a site-specific installation.
Using materials that form the backbone of all digital communication, Sime crafts dimensional meditations that encourage sustained contemplation. Dichotomy ፊት አና ጀርባ jerba illuminates the tenuousness in humanity’s private and public dualities.
Elias Sime: Dichotomy ፊት አና ጀርባ is co-curated by Meskerem Assegued and Felicity Korn, curator at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, and is presented with support from James Cohan Gallery.
