Staying Afloat is also a play on the famous Ali quote "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and commemorates the political and humanitarian services of the late champion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1495422219846-VFI5PVYWNI3MTZEMN087/image-asset.jpeg Videos - In Plain Sight, 2016 In Plain Sight looks to Marvin Gaye's 1983 performance of the US National Anthem as a simple and elegant reconsideration of American allegiance.

In this site dancers are bodies are fragmented, reconfigured, and warped as even the passages of time itself is distorted. Human forms emerge from what appears as fog in a sort of reverse erasure. This work articulates fading to finding, an inverted finishing into start beginning, an invisibility into form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1495422593009-9UB2CIP22DR1SNV8IYMD/image-asset.jpeg Videos - Not Now Nor Then On March 8, 2014 it was announced that Malaysian Flight MH 370 had crashed. Later that night it was declared missing and it would be weeks before it was declared downed once again. But in that window of time, the plane lived in a place of endless speculation and infinite possibilities. The thought that there was a place that was wholly unknown, a place without metadata or cookies in an age of ultra-connectivity seemed inconceivable to many. Not since the phenomena of the Bermuda Triangle and of mothers lifting buses to save their babies was the public imagination this boundless. If our perceptions of total connectivity are wrong and the world is not in fact flat, then I ask you, what is on the other side? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1515687423076-OQ9B59MRBEIAS24VPZ6Q/WDTTG+-Pyramid+SM.jpg Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1539880362631-HFIHDCKDPL9TAR8R244N/image-asset.jpeg Videos - Homecoming HOMECOMING is a video installation that focuses on the final moments of the 89th Academy Awards in which the presenters failed to announce Moonlight as the winner of the Best Picture Oscar.

HD video with 4-channel sound, mirrors. 29 x 29 x 13'   In Your Absence the Skies Are All the Same is a large-scale installation that consists of two channels of synchronized video, a mirrored wall, and four channels of audio. The visuals of In Your Absence are footage of 40 skies from cities around the world. The imagery is accompanied by quadraphonic sound featuring thirteen versions of the American classic, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me, reconfigured and remixed. Each element (the visual projections and the two separate audio tracks) varies in length and will phase throughout the course of the exhibition, offering viewers a unique and singular experience at each visit. In Your Absence investigates the cognitive dissonance of obsession, sappiness, erasure, kitsch, and the sublime in conventional notions of love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1495412505349-IJJZOAY8I0XAMEFMQ21Y/HLP+Night+Vision.jpg Projects Night Vision, 2015. Video installation. Dimensions vary     How To Make Liar’s Pie, is a solo exhibition presented at The Pitch Project, in Milwaukee. It features six video installations that synthesize the conventions of everyday environments to complicate the liminal space between census and autobiography in the 21st century. The work gains inspiration from the proliferation of short form communication, such as the classic 30 second advertisement, Twitter’s 144 character limit, and Instagram’s 15 second video limit. The videos employ an autobiographical narrative and reveal the incongruities of social, historical, and cultural tropes through an atypical narrative structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1518402627941-XX9FEFIOIR6YBOEU7UT4/WDTTG+Irungu+blur+2.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1561925264662-HLCJMYGX68T0OLXQAL0D/VL+med+detail+1.jpg Projects Vanishing Lines, asks us to consider that which we render invisible. The large-scale sculpture blurs the parameters we delineate and the omissions that we maintain. Whether it is the history of an island and a people forgotten or the invisible borders that we call home. The sculpture is a take on the utilitarian form of a “dolphin“ which are common in ports and surround the sculpture's plinth. Olujimi implores an 18-century Japanese building technique called Yukisugi in which he scorches and sands the surfaces of the pylons accentuating the charred wood grain. Each pylon was cut into hexagonal pillars that interlock. At a distance to work camouflages with the “dolphins” that surround the work and upon closer inspection, it reveals the deviation of the artist's intervention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1718741124635-GNVX0G7J3MNDBS1WY60S/DSC4587_Mali-IR-King.jpg Projects Untitled from the Blind Sum series, 2014.

Another game like Skully, or Team Tag, While trying to outlast another day. We was built for this?! How could words carry the scent and air starched hard enough to cut? How could my father fix his face to say to me–11–all legs, knees and elbows, dots and dashes, a knock-knock joke in Morse code: “You’re a child of God but there are men who would end your life because of a story they tell themselves.” Did he practice in a mirror, the whole time looking away?

The Black body is too often saddled as a station of trauma and violence, making rhapsody an anomaly, happening in spite of this assumed “inherent state” of the Black body. Within this model, the perpetual gravity of white supremacy and oppression is implicitly understood as the necessary conceit for fleeting moments of joy before a return to the assumed state of normalcy. North Star asks: What does the Black body, devoid of the “inescapable” gravity of oppression, look like? What is the Black body in zero gravity? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1680128962352-N3XDZCZIJRVYB3BQIH79/grace_kk_install.jpg Projects - In The Dark, We Lose Our Edges In The Dark, We Lose Our Edges is an immersive installation created for the 15th edition of the Sharjah Biennial. This project consists of three ceramic busts set in a sea of blue sand amidst freestanding faux boulders and surrounded by a 2100 sq. ft. immersive wall painting. This surreal landscape is accompanied by an original soundscape composed by Chris Pattishall and encircled by 8 large-scale diptychs that combine cyanotype and watercolor processes. The total work is an homage to the trickster and shapeshifter figures that interrupt legibility and corrupt the colonial imaginary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1761767880909-DFEJFZ808HWXI9A72CRE/image-asset.jpeg Projects Time Gone 2023 Watercolor, ink, graphite on paper 60.5 x 52 inches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1588632813209-JHHKI8YP3IOTMUWSJSKY/IMG_2215.jpg Projects - Walk With Me Growing up every momentous or sensitivity conversation required a walk. There was no way you could absorb the impact of this news as a static being. That would be ridiculous. No matter the weather or time of day, you put your coat, put on your boots or raincoat or sunshades and we would walk. Proposals, divorces deaths, births all required us to outpace our fears. The title of the show comes from this tradition. Walk With Me, is a collection of works on paper that look at notions of memory, grief, and forgetting. October 23, 2014, I lost my guardian angel Catherine Arline. Beyond her impact in my personal development, she was a community leader and pillar of the Bedford Stuyvesant community, and the city of New York. For more than the last five years, I have created paintings from a photograph of her when she moved to New York at 18-year-old. Flattened by grief the work became a place of both healing and sharing time with her. For over five years, I have created more than 100 paintings. The word engages in the process of remembering, forgetting, and my·thol·o·gize. These portraits slide in and out of fidelity an accurate rendering, alternating between gestural watery movements and tight "faithful" for renderings. The collection offers no truths. Their origin remains elusive, blurring between the latent images we create images between each work, leaving us to build and rebuild each memory in between each retelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1761856322146-B3TQCY4B5HHHAHNJUFCY/image-asset.jpeg Projects Zulu Time Exhibition View Blanton Museum of Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1496109084166-SNHJNX3LVGJQIZVUZYM0/DSC_0711.JPG Projects Exhibition view: What Endures, 2016 What Endures investigates the gesture of dance as a symbol of persistence and resilience amidst the economic downturn and global social upheaval. The focal point of the exhibit, Just Because We’re Magic Doesn’t Mean We Aren’t Real, consists of interlocking platforms upon which the artist’s works on paper are based. The wood sculpture was designed in conversation with the enduring architecture of the Coney Island Cyclone, a wooden roller coaster constructed in 1927, and still in operation today. The sculpture is both a stand-alone work, as well as an evolving and integral part of each separate performance and encounter to which it lends a physical scaffold. Breathtaking work from the series Blind Sum showcases Olujimi’s mastery of long exposure composition and print production. Olujimi’s photographs reflect the complex role of dance marathons as mass entertainment events during the Great Depression. These endurance contests often lasted weeks, providing much needed entertainment, purse money, and fame during an era of severe deprivation. With an eerie prescience to present day “reality shows,” these contests blurred the line between theatre and reality. A mix of the heroic and grotesque, of kitsch and desperation, these spectacles were meant to test the capacity of individual will. While the dance marathons challenged many gender and class expectations, they were vehemently racially segregated. Olujimi’s work examines the repercussions of such omissions in the creation of mythic space. It emblematizes the common contests of endurance, persistence, and defiance and the desire to live beyond the capacities that we have internalized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1495413972593-3A9ZTGO3OS21BUACX4YD/72+duck+cane+v3+king.jpg Projects I Knew You Before You Was Born (detail) 2016 Wood, brass, glass walking canes, foot stool, faux pearls 13 feet 7 inches x 5 feet x 1 foot 7 inches Solastalgia was an exhibition comprised of large-scale sculptures, serigraphs and paintings. The works in the show reside at the intersection of numerous issues of current concern to the artist: the state of his city and the nation including gentrification, police killings (both by the police and the killing of police), as well as the challenges of commemoration and loss. The term solastalgia was coined by Australian philosopher, Glenn Albrecht in 2003. Essentially it is the feeling of homesickness when one is still home. “Solastalgia is when your endemic sense of place is being violated,” Albrecht describes. Though the term originally references the psychological displacement of farmers due to climate change, Olujimi employs it as a lens to examine the psychoterratica of the five boroughs as a result of a different kind of environmental change. Oscillating between private and public, Olujimi grapples with the loss of his mentor and guardian angel, Catherine Arline, amidst the cacophony of actions and emotions that has marred the city’s law enforcement over the past year. Arline was a civil servant for the city and state of New York for over 40 years and continued to serve her community of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn after her retirement as the president and member of various councils and associations locally and throughout the city. Much of her later work attempted to bridge the divide between police and the communities they serve. Over the past year and half the world watched as a string of unfathomable events unfolded in New York City; the non-indictment decision in the Eric Garner killing, the shooting of Officers Liu and Ramos and the public display of disdain by law enforcement for the Mayor during the funerals of two their own, and the unprecedented police work stoppage. In addition to these and other recent events, the works of Solastalgia grow out of interviews Olujimi has conducted with current and retired member the NYPD, community leaders, Arline herself, and his own struggle to convey what words cannot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1495413671838-R6WDVIVT9M05G4WSOW2P/IMG_9802.jpg Projects What’s Left to Burn Exhibition View The Bindery Projects 2015 What's Left to Burn? features a series of serigraphs, a 25 foot sculpture comprised of interlocking platforms, and a single channel video that was filmed on the sculpture at The Bindery Projects.

This body of work contests the ideological and the symbolic manifestations of colonialism and intersects with current international conversations around the recontextualization, revision, and removal of monuments. In these large-scale watercolor paintings, monuments are in transition, broken or veiled. At their core, these paintings question how monuments participate in the construction and narratives of state power and supplant lived memories and histories. The work problematizes the inability of the heroic monument to move beyond reinforcing dominant powers. While the current undoing and the removal of these monuments mark an important shift in our understanding of oppression and nationhood, this reckoning does not undo the figures’ legacies of violence. The ceramic sculptures reimagine municipal and royal stamps, incorporating teeth, hair and a humbler as a way to reintroduce the personal into a space that was once meant to obscure individual bodies. These seal matrices interrupt the symbolic with the corporeal, reminding us of a very real absence in the historic record. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fcf39197aea57f4127e47/1539883944613-DSG05D4NM1W6AUXQNXEA/Redshift+installed+01.jpg Projects Redshift, installation view, 2018 REDSHIFT is an ongoing series of drawings that examines the post-facts condition and its role in the mythology of whiteness. The work confronts the “imaging” of criminality, and the patterns of violence throughout our American history.
