Ebun Sodipo’s exhibition Nasty Girl (The Sharpest Girl in Town) curated by Languid Hands continues this week at 56 Conduit Street.

In Nasty Girl, which contains a newly commissioned video work and a series of collages across the gallery and project space, the artist draws upon her extensive and ongoing visual archive of still and moving images appropriated from the internet. These works come together as tableau’s referencing myriad forms of black womanhood, the dangerous magic of black trans-femininity, the complicated nature of sexuality, gender euphoria, witchcraft, voice, gaze, tactility, surgery, adornment & beauty. Desire is an ongoing thread in this body of work, explored through the sexual in gestures of touch, heat, moisture and the intimacy of looking, but also through desires for the body, specific forms of bodily alteration, or a relationship to the body and desire that is wholly personal. The body itself can be thought of as an assemblage of sorts; affected and affecting, drawing from and in relation to the external world.

Do not miss our former resident R.I.P. Germain’s wonderful exhibition “Jesus Died for Us, We Will Die for Dudus!” at ICA, London running until 14 April.

The exhibition features an ambitious newly commissioned, immersive, multipart installation that examines the complex logic of cultural gatekeeping within Black culture, and the (mis)perception of these dynamics in a wider (white) world.  Credit: R.I.P. Germain, EC1N 8EX (2023)

We are thrilled to be collaborating with Languid Hands on Ebun Sodipo’s upcoming exhibition Nasty Girl (The Sharpest Girl in Town), running from 16 February- 5 April.   Curated by Languid Hands, the exhibition encompasses a newly commissioned video and series of collages, using cinematic jargon and assemblage as a technique to delve into notions of femininity, eroticism, and danger.  
Languid Hands is a London-based artistic and curatorial collaboration between DJ and filmmaker Rabz Lansiquot and artist and writer Imani Mason Jordan. Their practice explores collaboration, curation, black study and experimentation across exhibitions, moving image, text, performance, publications and public programming. Languid Hands joined 198 Contemporary Arts & Learning in 2023 as Lead Curators of the Artistic Programme. Between 2020-23 they were curatorial fellows at London’s Cubitt Artists, delivering their programme No Real Closure, which featured the work of numerous artists including R.I.P Germain, Ajamu X, Camara Taylor, Shenece Oretha. In 2021, Languid Hands curated the LIVE programme for Frieze London, commissioning new performances from Rebecca Bellantoni, Ebun Sodipo & Ashley Holmes.

Donald Dahmer is a collection of poems by South London-born artist, Rhea Dillon. Written on her blog between 2018 and 2020, the publication was produced to mark Rhea’s three month residency at V.O Curations. Dillon’s poems take the form of fluid and fragmented musings; understandings and misunderstandings; and conscious and less conscious textual processes attached to her research-driven conceptual practice and personal experiences.   The publication was designed by Ernest Wereko, and copy edited by Kate Wong.

To coincide with her solo exhibition 'Ohh... Youth' at V.O, Guendalina Cerruti discusses her practice with Programme Curator Natalia Grabowska and influences for the new bodies of work. From TikTok videos to the works of Mike Kelley, the artist weaves these references together in her works to explore youth, pop culture and construction of identity in today’s world.

Link in bio to read the full interview.   'Ohh… Youth' runs until 17 December at 56 Conduit Street.   Featured: 2-3 Peter St, acrylic on stitched patchwork canvas
