"Ties the bind"
By Ahna Adair

"Kambui Olujimi is not a jeweler. But his recent work entitled The Black Out Collection places him knee deep in the language of adornment. The collection is part of his most recent solo show, Love to Lose, at the Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco. Exploring how we collectively nurture social disaster the show includes video, photography and sculpture. The Black Out Collection, comprised of fourteen mixed media sculptures, employs the language of jewelry in order to convey the message; the desirable and the demonized can be one and the same."

Exhibition: Beldner

The Bank & Trust Show was conceived in part to mark the 10th Anniversary of The Arts Exchange’s adaptive re-use of a former bank into a cultural center for the residents of Westchester. It is curated by Dara Meyers-Kingsley, a former Director of Film and Video Collections at the Andy Warhol Foundation. Featuring Catharine Clark Gallery Artist: Ray Beldner, Chris Doyle and Kambui Olujimi.

Arts Guide for the Sweet and Broken-Hearted

By Jeremiah Barber | Feb 11, 2011

“At Catharine Clark Gallery Kambui Olujimi's mixed media sculptures tantalize the gallery's open front room. In a gesture as tender and effortless as Picasso's "Bull's Head," each of Olujimi's sculptures pair the same two objects -- handcuffs and jewels -- with slight changes in patina and form. Each hangs off of two nails, the baubles appearing to crystallize off the cuff's chain, rough and delicate in even measures. The gallery also presents drawings by Jonathan Solo that make smooth transitions between coy magazine cut-outs and charged, erotic bodies.”

“The February Show aims to highlight the diverse perspectives
behind the concept of Black History Month. Similarly, the title,
The February Show, is meant to spark a dialogue about how
effectively this celebration inspires us to expand our knowledge
of our national history, and the implications of limiting the
recognition of Black American culture to a specific month.”
