In the newest episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König speaks with the artist and architect Yussef Agbo-Ola.
In his practice, Agbo-Ola addresses artistic, architectural, and anthropological issues by creating experimental spaces, such as pavilions, that reorient our perception of ecosystems and geological relationships. Beyond the design of such spaces, his artistic practice also includes photography, performance, sound, and text.
Agbo-Ola studied fine art at the University of the Arts in London and then architecture at the Royal College of Art. He has realized art and architecture projects for institutions, including the United Nations. His work has been exhibited in prestigious institutions and shown in major exhibitions, including the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, the Serpentine Galleries, the Sharjah Architecture Triennial in the United Arab Emirates, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and the Tai Kwun Arts Center in Hong Kong.
In the podcast, Johann König and Yussef Agbo-Ola speak about blurring the lines between art and architecture, the artist’s sources of inspiration and his exhibition at Schering Stiftung.
