As part of the programming for Fridman Gallery's "A Treatise On Color," curator and conceptual artist J.E. Azmi sat down with ruby onyinyechi amanze to discuss the exhibition's central themes. A key element of the show is Azmi's concept of "Curatorial Contrafacts," where existing cultural objects—whether art, material culture, or music—are recontextualized to form new narratives. These compositions take various forms, including framed works, sculptures, and installations, bringing seemingly unrelated objects together to spark fresh dialogues.
