Press Release

Goodman Gallery is delighted to present new work by Kapwani Kiwanga in a solo exhibition, ‘Rudiments’. The exhibition follows themes related to transcultural exchanges, material histories and world-making established in the artist’s Canadian Pavilion presentation at the 2024 Venice Biennale ‘Trinket’ as well as her Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art show ‘Kapwani Kiwanga: Where salt and freshwater meet and crooked trees filter the sun.’

“Kiwanga has built her career on the hard work of research: of exploring archives, of asking questions and distrusting simplicity. Since the start of her career, she has eschewed conventional ways of telling stories as they fail to contain the complexities to which she aspires.” – Edward Behrens on Kiwanga’s practice in Apollo, 2024
