Reception: Gonçalo Mabunda—Light & Dark
Gonçalo Mabunda—Light & Dark showcases the the found object assemblages of
Gonçalo Mobunda (b. 1975, Maputo, Mozambique). Mabunda’s disarming, deceptively aesthetic sculptures fuse African fetish traditions with the national memory of a devastating civil war, transforming residual bric-a-brac of war into objects that suggest alternate visions of how his culture might have otherwise employed itself with ambient materials.
