Rectangles…and extensions. an intervention by Elolo Bosoka

Statement…

In the intervention "Rectangles… and Extensions," Bosoka begins an exploratory journey that interrogates everyday objects' essence and spatial relationships. This exhibition invites viewers to navigate through a series of reimagined spaces and objects, where the mundane transcends conventional references to become a source of profound inquiry and unexpected beauty.

At the core of Bosoka’s work is a fascination with the geometric simplicity of rectangles as shapes as a starting point and how they can redefine our understanding of space and objecthood when extended physically and metaphorically. The exhibition takes on traditional perceptions and wrestles with them, activating spaces that blur the boundaries between the seen and unseen, the significant and the trivial, the fixed and the fluid.

Each piece in "Rectangles… and Extensions" proposes dialogues between the artist, the objects, and the numerous viewers, encouraging a communal reevaluation of how we interact with situations that we come across every day. Through interactive installations and compositions that reference abstractions that have been condensed out of a series of real-life manifestations, Bosoka transforms the space into a living canvas where rectangles not only define or contain images and the worlds that they inhabit but also extend beyond their physical confines to embrace essences of extension too.

Bosoka's work is a testament to the power of art to activate and alter spaces, making the ordinary extraordinary. "Rectangles and Extensions" is not just a mere intervention; it is an immersive experience that extends an invitation to view the world through lenses that celebrate the interplay between space, object, and viewer. Here, in the spaces between and beyond, we find the true extensions of our realities.
