About
Nairobi’s first Sculpture Garden opens on Saturday, 31 August

This month One Off celebrates its 25th anniversary with a review of sculpture in the region. Curated by Marc Van Rampelberg, the show will comprise works by over 45 artists.

Rosslyn Riviera Pop-up Space will host part of the exhibit with the balance being shown in both interior spaces at 16 Rosslyn Lone Tree and also in the new Sculpture Garden.

The new Sculpture Garden remains very much a work in progress with so much still to do in terms of planting and organisation. We hope you will see the potential which will be enhanced when we finally receive some rain.

Come and browse – refreshments will be served

Logistics
We advise you to pass through the Rosslyn Riviera Mall Space on your way to the main gallery – Rosslyn Riviera Pop-up will be open from noon until 5pm. You may either park at Rosslyn Mall and catch one of our courtesy Tuk Tuks to the main gallery, or drive over to the main gallery and park in our new car park at the bottom of the property.

Note that the Rosslyn Riviera Pop-up Space will close at 5pm. Meanwhile at the main space the celebrations will continue up to 7.30pm. There will be a short laser light show in the new Garden at 7pm. Adam Chienjo, highly acclaimed Mime artist and dancer, will perform a number of times during the day at the main gallery space.

Experimental Dance and Mixed Media: Unknown by Adam Chienjo (Fundraising for the New GoDown Arts), Jun. 25 2018 @ the Alchemist – Westlands

by with No Comment danceevents


Date: Monday, 25th June 2018
Venue: the Alchemist, Westlands
Time: 6.30pm
Entry: Ksh 500

Dance piece : Unknown

A dance performance by Adam Chienjo in support of #GoDownTransforms.

About
Can we value what we don’t know? Is it possible to experience that which we cannot perceive? Can we then
touch the soul of the unknown, can we make contact with it, could we listen to it? Can we feel the texture of the
unknown? How does it move? From what direction does the unknown come from and to which direction does it
go? Can we describe the unknown as still? Is it silent or is there sound and resonance? Is the unknown within
time or is time within the unknown? To what extent does what we know contribute to the experience of the
unknown?

Proceeds from ticket sales go to fundraising for the New GoDown.

Space provided by The Alchemist Bar!

Is it silent or is there sound and resonance? Is the unknown within time or is time within the unknown? To what extent does what we know contribute to the experience of the unknown?

Of happenings and experiences from the past, present and future, Unknown is an investigative journey through the experiences and places unknown and therefore deemed unperceivable but felt, can be proved, imagined and accepted as fact. The performance was developed by dancer and choreographer Adam Chienjo during a residence programme in Scotland and involves experimental dance and mixed media. It is accompanied by music that was composed specifically for this project by Ronnie Goodman and a video work by Raymond Ndikwe.

Admission: free.

The series provides an opportunity for performers, choreographers and creators to develop ideas, build on their skills and collective experiences to find new working models/approaches.
