Gaia Ozwyn to Broaden Her Artistic Practice During G.A.S. Residency

Earlier this week, we welcomed London-based artist Gaia Ozwyn for an immersive four-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. Working across painting and sculpture, her multidisciplinary practice explores materiality, belonging, and ‘otherness’ by blending tactile and visual contrasts. Through her work, she navigates an imagined ‘borderland’ between states of being, challenging conventional ideas of solitude, connection, and identity.

Kɔηsεt Pāti: A Playful Reinterpretation of Moving Image Through the Lens of Movement and Migration

Kɔηsεt Pāti: A Playful Reinterpretation of Moving Image Through the Lens of Movement and Migration

Kɔηsεt Pāti is the fifth project to be realised as part of the Art Exchange: Moving Image programme, running from 20th February to 15th March 2025. Its title references a Ghanaian television show that aired from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. Curated by Abbey IT-A and hosted at the former Marvels Mini Golf Course, adjacent to Mmofra Place in Dzorwulu, Accra, the project playfully reinterprets the concept of the “moving image.” Through an exhibition strategy that shifts between screen-based and physical space, Kɔηsεt Pāti transposes the audiovisual aspirations of two films, exploring the relationship between virtual representation and embodied experience.

A Virtual Presentation on Tradition, Craft, and Community by Bisila Noha

Join us on March 20, 2025, for The Clay Women of Ìgànrán, a virtual residency presentation by Bisila Noha, reflecting on her research and experiences at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikise. Over the course of her six-week residency, Bisila spent time with a family of women potters in Iganran, a city in Ogun State, Nigeria, immersing herself in their traditions, techniques, and ways of being. Through hands-on learning, close observation, and shared moments of laughter and work, she explored the rhythm of their practice, one shaped by generations of knowledge, resilience, and ritual.

A Solo Exhibition of New Sculptural Works by Ugo Ahiakwo

Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on March 13th and 14th, 2025, for Indulgence Before Consequence, a solo exhibition of new sculptural works by Ugo Ahiakwo, created or completed during his six-week residency at G.A.S. Foundation, Lagos. Through an intuitive yet deliberate engagement with materials—layered fabrics, metals, and automotive paints—Ugo explores the tension between impulse and restraint, revealing the lasting imprint of choice. The exhibition reflects a deep preoccupation with the interplay of desire, cause and effect, and transformation, capturing the moments where action precedes reflection. The works serve as both a meditation and a record of these complexities, inviting viewers to consider the delicate balance between indulgence and consequence.
