Othman Studio is proud to present Khalwa Room II (2024) at National Museum Lagos, Uthman Wahaab’s second showing at the biennale, following his 2019 presentation at Independent Building (Lagos). Taking place from 3rd February -- 2nd March, 2024, the exhibition is a part of Off-ish, off-site projects in conjunction with Lagos Biennale 2024 (closes 10th February, 2024).
Khalwa Room II is designed as a site-specific installation, incorporating Wahaab’s multidisciplinary practice including performance and paintings, video work and photography, synesthesia and acoustics. Khalwa Room series is the result of Wahab’s family’s long-term practice of Sufism, the Islamic practice closely associated with mysticism and spirituality. The artist’s immersive examination of art and religion is staged across two dedicated gallery spaces at National Museum Lagos repurposed, for the sake of the exhibition, as Gallery I and Gallery
Curated by
Sabo Kpade.
Note: Khalwa performance scheduled for 3:30pm. 4th of February 2024.
