SUMMARY:Spring 2021 Sciame Series: Kayode Ojo\, Olu Obafemi\, and Ebony L. 
 Haynes
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the new SCIAME Lecture Series\, titled And/
 Or. “EHKOOO” will feature Kayode Ojo and Olu Obafemi\, introduced by E
 bony L. Haynes\, for a discussion of art and architecture.\n\nFree and ope
 n to the public - Please register for this Zoom event here.\n\nIn this on
 line series\, curators Viren Brahmbhatt\, Ali C. Höcek\, and Martin Stigs
 gaard argue that the traditional format of a single lecturer speaking to a
 n audience sets up a binary opposite all of its own -- speaker/listener\, 
 which simply reinforces the power structure between those who "possess" kn
 owledge and those who "consume" it. In its place\, the &amp\;/Or Online Di
 alogues will present two speakers in conversation with each other\, modera
 ted by a third. The series features prominent artists\, activists\, and ar
 chitects from across the globe who will discuss their work and the unique 
 political and environmental challenges they confront.\n\nKayode Ojo’s pr
 actice encompasses sculpture\, photography\, video and installation. His p
 recise staging of objects and exhibitions reveals a vivid sense of the the
 atricality\, artifice and seduction inherent to art\, advertising\, fashio
 n and design\; how we present ourselves and perceive one another. Gender a
 nd race are upended in object-collages that alternate between freaky/frisk
 y femininity and suave masculine friction. In one arrangement\, a gold str
 aight-edge razor registers as style meets menace. In all his work\, Kayode
  Ojo mines and undermines a conceptual glamour. Kayode Ojo (b. 1990 in Coo
 keville\, Tennessee) received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts. He cur
 rently lives and works in New York\, NY.\n\nSelect exhibitions include: Th
