Sweetwater is pleased to announce the third solo exhibition of Kayode Ojo with the gallery.

The artist’s practice examines interpersonal relations, pop culture, and ersatz glamour through sculpture, photography, and video. His sculptures, precariously-balanced compositions, take the form of ready-made assemblage, frequently created from glass, mirrors, clothing, furniture, musical instruments rhinestones, and acrylic jewelry. Through photography, Ojo documents spontaneous scenes on analog film, capturing deeply personal moments, everyday public theater, and the stage settings that often inform our behavior.

Kayode Ojo (*1990, US) lives and works in New York. He has recently presented solo exhibitions at OMR, Mexico City (2024) and 52 Walker, New York (2023). His work has also been included in group exhibitions at the Kestner Gesellschaft, Hanover, MoMA PS1, New York, and the Athens Biennale, among others, and is featured in the permanent collections of the CSS Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson, Museum Brandhorst, Munich, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York. He has been featured in Artforum, Art in America, Cultured, CURA, Flash Art, Frieze, Mousse, The New York Times, and Texte zur Kunst. Ojo received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 2012.
