Member Preview of Eric Magassa’s Rumble in the Jungle

Welcome to a member preview of Rumble in the Jungle at Botkyrka Konsthall.

The exhibition takes shape through Eric Magassa’s distinctive world of images and collage, and at its heart, a pulsating sound system is presented for the first time—a newly produced sculptural work that here takes pride of place in the main room.

Eric’s artistic practice operates within a multisensory universe, like one large layer-on-layer collage, where the personal exploration of the circular narrative of family, archive, and in-betweenness inverts images and rearranges colours. ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ also refers to the famous title boxing match, challenges a prevailing description of the inner city/locality, is a sub-music genre, and a hella good time. The common thread can therefore appear both ambiguous, equivocal, and filled with joy, just as a diverse life can be.

Let the room shake!

The screening is free of charge and takes approx. 60 min.
