Obscene Jesters, 2010

 Item — Box 170: [Barcode: 31858072458320]

" In Afrika's rebuses, one can read the colour, texture, heaviness, light, and sound reflectability of the material...Things return to life, become oxidized, and undergo different transformations...The rebus is surrounded by an ornament which gives them all the character of an icon or of a folk-art picture.

A catalogue titled "Rebus" held by the Sackner Archive, published by Avant-Garde, Moscow and Paul Judelson Arts, New York illustrates and describes the copper works of Afrika.The following is an introduction by oleysa turkina and victor mazin and translated by a d haun from "Rebus II: Works on Copper" I-20 gallery, ny (1997).
