Fictions – A Group Exhibition, May 11 – Jun. 11 2022 @ Circle Art Gallery
Dates: May 11 – June 11, 2022
Venue: Circle Art Gallery, 910 James Gichuru Road – Lavington
About
Circle Art Gallery is pleased to present Fictions, a group exhibition of 11 artists at various stages of their careers, working in painting, drawing, printmaking, and in some cases, combinations of all three.
This grouping of artists/artworks invites the viewer to consider possible relationships between one work and the next and, by extension, between each artist’s practice and the next.
The title of the exhibition Fictions speaks to the connections that can emerge in the distance between artworks; and how that space can offer room for the viewer to begin thinking about thematic connections and overlaps.
Fictions contends that one artwork/artist can expand the viewer’s thinking about another.

Book Launch: Jackie Karuti’s Debut Monograph, “Notes Movement Method”, Apr. 27 2022 @ Circle Art Gallery
The Nairobi Launch of Jackie Karuti’s debut monograph, Notes Movement Method.
Exhibition preview & book launch
Date: Wednesday, 27 April 2022
Venue: Circle Art Gallery
Time: 4 – 8 pm
About
Jackie Karuti was the main prize winner of the 2020 Henrike Grohs Art Award. This book is published as part of the award, with support from the Goethe-Institut and Grohs family. Additional support was provided by The African Arts Trust. This book was produced by the Visual Arts Network of South Africa.
The book is led by thoughts around Karuti’s ongoing method of inquiry; How Clouds are Formed which has been a developing body of work assembled in many parts using objects, images, spare parts & movements. The intention was to produce an artist workbook that sends one out into the field to move, question & discover. It is largely an attempt to recognize the work that emerges in the present while navigating various site visits through drawings, text, sculptural forms and moving images.
Text and image contributions by Wanja Kimani, Bojana Cvejić, Jackie Karuti & Roseline Olang’.Additional images by James Muriuki & Densu Moseti
The book is will be available for purchase during the launch for KES 2,500.
