Kilimanjaro Magazine Edits: art, love and everyday life, is a show curated by Olu Michael Odukoya at 20 Hoxton Square Projects. The show features work by five photographers and three sculptors.
Established and founded in 2003, Kilimanjaro magazine is Odukoya’s personal labour of love. Collaborating with 20 Hoxton Square Projects, Kilimanjaro is now an exhibition too. In this show, like all the things Odukoya does, there is a rich mixture of cultural references. Erected in the middle of the gallery are a series of tunnels designed by architect Tom Finch and built out of flat pack mdf. Inside the space are photographs by international talents, Henry Roy, Robi Rodriguez, Claudia Stockli, J.H.Engstrom and Lukas Wassmann.
Henry Roy was born in Port au Prince in 1963 but grew up in France. He studied photography in Paris, after which he worked as a photojournalist and in 1996 published a book of black-and-white studio portraits, reminiscent of Richard Avedon or Irving Penn, titled Regards Noirs. JH Engstrom learnt his craft as Mario Testino’s assistant in the early 1990s and in 2009 he was part of Ca me touché, a photography show curated by Nan Goldin at the Arles Photofestival. While Roy and Engstrom are more established, Lukas Wassmann, born in 1980 is an emerging, as well as prolific talent. In the past year his work has appeared in Art Review, Das Magazin, I-D, Another Magazine, 032c and Interview.
Participating artists:
Henry Roy, Robi Rodriguez, Claudia Stockli, J.H.Engstrom , Lukas Wassmann, Alex Hoda, Michael Samuals, Milton Marques.
