Pleasure is All Mine, a solo exhibition of Lola Ogbara, is a compilation of works (sculpture, collages, and photographs) that uses ‘othered’ and grotesque rhetorics as a visual aesthetics; alongside, pleasure activism frameworks to imagine a unique lens in which Western society views the Black feminine experience as whole and with full agency. I attempt to reconstruct viewership by transcending tensions of hyper-visibility and invisibility. Exploring moments that alter the power dynamics of the gaze, I use distorted images while blurring the line between object and body to disrupt the gaze.

WE’RE BAAAAACK!!!
Much like the poltergeist from the feature film Poltergeist 2, in person events are back! Because scheduling is scary enough, Silver Space is here to help. Behold, our virtual baby - The Events Calendar - revived by popular demand. Here you can find out when the next gallery opening is, where you can hear free artist talks, and even what you missed out on because you didn’t check the calendar like you should have in the first place. Shame!
If you have an exhibition, event, artist talk, opening, or something tangentially associated, email marinam@silverspacestl.com and we’ll do our best to get you on!
