Kamau Patton exhibit opens at Machine Project
We're big fans of Kamau Patton and Machine Project in Los Angeles so it's great news to see them come together. Kamau's recent endeavor is described as "equal parts religious rite, glam spectacle and public access television show."
His installations always bring a personal cosmology to bear on existing folk narratives. For this exhibit at Machine, Kamau’s work investigates the media produced by African American cult activity in America, including the 5 Percent Nation, Nuwaubian Nation, and the Black Hebrew Israelites. The dialog also includes his perception of the Nature Of The Universe.
MP's beloved next door neighbors, the Echo Park Film Center, will be screening dance and music videos from Senegal and the Ivory Coast selected from Kamau’s collection during the opening.
Exhibit Opening: September 22nd, 8 p.m.
The exhibit runs through November 3rd
