Catch the Invisible Part Two, 2024.

A group exhibition co-curated by Jareh Das and Aissa Dione Tissus in Dakar, Senegal.

Catch the Invisible brings together artists from Brazil, the United States, Europe and West Africa interested in material and immaterial explorations that offer new approaches to visual storytelling. New and existing works by an intergeneration of artists compare physiologies, origins and histories that have been passed down from one generation to the next, while working on a range of themes dealing with collective memory, ancestry, spirituality, reuse and reinterpretation.

Part II featuring Ibiye Camp & Elolo Bosoka

Elolo Bosoka In his see-through soft sculptures, appropriates items amassed from corners of the mundane urban environment to engage with notions of art as place, economic exchange, materiality, and history. His new large-scale sculptures comprises of used onion bags, discarded pieces of fishing nets and other plastic ephemera sourced from Marche Tylene and Marche Castor in Dakar. In repurposing these made-made and often overlooked everyday materials, Bosoka reimagines them in a language of geometry and abstraction, enveloping and interacting spatially with traces of industrial architecture.

The sculpture intervenes in the former Aissa Dione Tissus carpentry workshop a living artwork that engages viewers, space, and material. Alongside this sculpture is a selection of painterly objects, an ongoing photographic series by the artist documenting the unexpected beauty of geometry and form in everyday encounters of space and place.
