Events Description
Kenyan-British artist Dame Magdalene Odundo will have her largest ever exhibition in North American opening October 19, 2023, at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto. The exhibition”Magdalene Odundo: A Dialogue with Objects” is on view through April 21, 2024. Odundo’s work can be found in preeminent collections, including the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, The British Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Victoria & Albert Museum, as well as the Gardiner Museum.
More than 20 works spanning Odundo’s career—including new pieces directly from her studio—will be displayed alongside objects selected by the artist from the Gardiner’s permanent collection, as well as objects on loan from major Toronto museums and private collections. The objects represent different cultures, mediums, and eras from which she draws inspiration. The artist works on a single vessel for months, applying years of experimentation and technical mastery. Odundo was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement medal from the London Design festival in September 2023.
