One of the first impressions of the city is the intensity of its soundscapes.' -- Emeka OgbohWidely regarded as a pioneering sound artist from Africa, Emeka Ogboh (b. 1977, Enugu, Nigeria) is one of the most exciting artists on the international art scene and one of the finest of his generation.Edited by the artist, art historian and curator Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi, this book is a compendium of Ogboh's early corpus of works (2009-2014) focused on Lagos, Nigeria's economic and cultural capital, entitled Lagos Soundscapes.The body of work which launched Ogboh into international reckoning is an ongoing series comprised mainly of sound works but also installations, video, and photographs.Lagos Soundscapes is the first significant monograph on the work of Emeka Ogboh.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Emeka Ogboh: No Condition is Permanent at Galerie Imane Farès (13 September - 24 November 2018).English and French text.

In 2008, the Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos began the Art-iculate lecture series, which aims to increase dialogue, encourage debate and stimulate exchange in visual art and culture in Nigeria. In 2014 CCA take the goals of Art-iculate further by adding a publishing section, which will consist of three segments. The first focuses on the contributions of established artists with over 50 years of practice, to the development of art in their country. The second offers, through surveys, overviews of artistic practice across the continent, as well as delineates medium-specific and thematic trajectories. The last segment examines emerging artists at critical periods in their careers through the pocket-size book format, which takes intimacy, affordability, and accessibility as a key aspect. The series of publications will blur the boundaries between critical text, retrospective, laboratory, archive and documentation, artist project, and curatorial platform.
Emeka Ogboh
In what position do African emigrants in Europe find themselves today? The Nigerian artist Emeka Ogboh (b. 1977) addresses this question in his new publication, which is being published in conjunction with his first big solo exhibition.His work deals intensively with the topic of immigration and his own experiences of this. He does this by connecting peoples and places with tastes and sounds. As a sound and installation artist, he is best known for his soundscapes of life in Lagos.For his exhibition at the Staatliche Kunsthalle, he also produced numerous site-related works concentrating on the sense of taste and, for example, brewed a version of the meanwhile legendary beer Sufferhead Original. The artist consequently manages to create a picture of a cosmopolitan society that deals self-confidently with roots, influences, and spaces in-between.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Emeka Ogboh: If Found Please Return to Lagos at Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Germany (11 November 2017 - 4 February 2018).English and German text.
Alternative Art and Anthropology
While the importance of the relationship between anthropology and contemporary art has long been recognized, the discussion has tended to be among scholars from North America, Europe, and Australia; until now, scholarship and experiences from other regions have been largely absent from mainstream debate. Alternative Art and Anthropology: Global Encounters rectifies this by offering a ground-breaking new approach to the subject. Entirely dedicated to perspectives from Asia, Latin America, and Africa, the book advances our understanding of the connections between anthropology and contemporary art on a global scale. Across ten chapters, a range of anthropologists, artists, and curators from cou...
Across Anthropology
How can we rethink anthropology beyond itself? In this book, twenty-one artists, anthropologists, and curators grapple with how anthropology has been formulated, thought, and practised ‘elsewhere’ and ‘otherwise’. They do so by unfolding ethnographic case studies from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland – and through conversations that expand these geographies and genealogies of contemporary exhibition-making. This collection considers where and how anthropology is troubled, mobilised, and rendered meaningful. Across Anthropology charts new ground by analysing the convergences of museums, curatorial practice, and Europe’s reckoning with its colonial legac...
Auld Lang Syne
In Auld Lang Syne: A Song and its Culture, M. J. Grant explores the history of this iconic song, demonstrating how its association with ideas of fellowship, friendship and sociality has enabled it to become so significant for such a wide range of individuals and communities around the world. This engaging study traces different stages in the journey of Auld Lang Syne, from the precursors to the song made famous by Robert Burns to the traditions and rituals that emerged around the song in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including its use as a song of parting, and as a song of New Year. Grant’s painstaking study investigates the origins of these varied traditions, and their imp...
Afropolis
Metropolises often evoke images of flashy high-rise buildings, permanent background noise, backed-up cars and people moving quickly in all directions in their masses. New York, Tokyo, London, Sao Paulo. But what about Cairo?
