BERLIN, GERMANY.-Daadgalerie presents Georges Adéagbo - “Tout de moi à tous”, on view through 25 August 2007. Since September 2006, Georges Adéagbo has been exploring Berlin as guest of the DAAD Artists-in-Residence program. At the daadgalerie he shows the fruits of his research in an exhibition entitled “Tout de moi à tous” and invites the public to create links between different realities. The work gathers together objects found on Berlin flea markets and in thrift shops, urban organs that the artist views as being analogue to our livers and kidneys. His choice displays his sharp sense as an ethnologist of Europe – a reversal of roles!

Georges Adéagbo was born in 1942 in Cotonou , Benin , and is considered the most outstanding West African artist since his participation at documenta 11. He showed an installation on explorers and the history of exploration with roughly 1500 objects, juxtaposing clichés of Africa and pieces found at the place of showing. The Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art is currently showing one of Adéagbo’s works, which it acquired in November 2006. This exhibition is supported by: Kulturforumsuednord.org e.V.
