Solid Maneuvers
Otobong Nkanga’s performance and sculptures titled Solid Maneuvers – that will take place at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm – considers how machinery used for mining the landscape is informed by the physical gestures of the human body. Tracing the transition from early hand-tools to modern heavy machinery through their mechanical and repetitive movements, Nkanga’s performance will engage directly with her sculptures through enacting seven specific gestures. The performance will take place at three different moments during the day
