YYYYMMDDONE EITHER LOVES ONESELF OR KNOWS ONESELF by PRECIOUS OKOYOMON at KUNSTHAUS BREGENZ [from 20250201 to 20250525]
[YYYYMMDD SELECTED]
Precious Okoyomon’s works traverse art, poetry, and performance. They investigate identity, colonial history, spirituality, and people’s relationship to things and the living environment. Intimate personal questions are linked with political and social issues.
Even before the pandemic, Okoyomon was invited to exhibit at Kunsthaus Bregenz — the youngest artist in the institution’s history, then just twenty-seven years old. Okoyomon gained the attention of a broad public with installations that incorporate materials such as soil, plants, and animals. At the Venice Biennale in 2022, the artist transformed the hall of the Arsenale into a lush, rampant ecosystem. Expansive sculptures, densely growing climbing plants, and small watercourses set in a tropical atmosphere created an experiential space that linked the processes of nature with afro-futuristic visions — and at the same time addressed the migration history of plants as well as their displacement.
For Kunsthaus Bregenz, several new works have been developed that investigate diverse themes. […]
