"Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present ongoin’, a solo exhibition of new works by Nari Ward, on view from August 28 through October 19, 2024 in Seoul. Ward’s second exhibition in Seoul features copper panel works, sculpture, and wall-based installations that address aspects of healing and care that shape local communities— specifically in Harlem, the artist’s longtime neighborhood in New York. Additionally, ongoin’ explores the artist’s dedication to artistic interpretations of spiritual ceremonies and rituals, probing the fractured images and unseen forces often associated with such practices."

Barthélémy Toguo’s multidisciplinary practice explores themes of migration, identity, and social justice. In this exhibition, Toguo presents new works developed during his residency in Yoshino, where he engaged with local artisans and the natural environment. Collaborating with Japanese ceramist Osamu Morimoto, Toguo created a series of ceramic pieces that reflect a fusion of Cameroonian and Japanese aesthetics. The exhibition also includes paintings and installations that address global issues such as the movement of people and goods across borders, environmental concerns, and political challenges. Toguo’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). He is also the founder of Bandjoun Station, a cultural and artistic hub in Cameroon supporting emerging African artists.
