Brandon Ndife joins us in the studio this week. Ndife is a part of the Sam Gilliam Visiting Artist Program. Tune in to Artists Talk with LVA each Thursday at 10 am on 97.1 FM or Artxfm.com.
Brandon Ndife is in Louisville as part of the Speed Museum’s Sam Gilliam Visiting Artist Program, managed by curator Diallo Simon-Ponte. Ndife creates sculptures that merge domestic forms with elements of the natural world through meticulous hand-building, casting, and painting. His work considers how everyday objects index life under capitalism while imagining alternative futures in which human-made and natural worlds converge. Ndife has presented solo exhibitions at Greene Naftali, New York (2024); Matthew Brown Gallery, Los Angeles (2022); and Storm King Art Center, New Windsor (2022), and has been included in major group exhibitions such as the New Museum Triennial (2021). His work is held in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, and The Studio Museum in Harlem. He lives and works in New York.
