George Osodi - The Black Street Series Stavanger V (2008)
George Osodi is an artist who has taken the relation between Europe and Africa as a point of departure. The work of the Nigerian-born Osodi, whom most will know from his participation in Roger Buergel’s documenta 12, tells about the effects of globalisation on people’s lives with great empathy: his art concerns Africa, but it also accentuates the continent’s involvement in transnational processes.
