Now on view JAMIL GS / FREQUENCIES
18.5.-31.10
Since the 90’s, Jamil Gulmann Shihab (*1971, DK) has defined large swathes of the visual language of hip hop. With his current solo exhibition, MILAAP presents a process-oriented retrospective, ranging from notorious portraits of pop culture icons to rarely or never presented works and archive materials, all shedding a new light on the work of the Godfather of the Ghetto Fabulous look. At the opening, we had the pleasure of the Jakob Dinesen Quartet performing their project Unconditional Love, letting common frequencies – photographic, musical, and metaphysical – meet.
About
MILAAP is a non-profit exhibition platform part of The Jamil Collection.
MILAAP takes its name from a 1968 sculpture by the Karachi-born, London-based artist Rasheed Araeen, the centerpiece of the collection and one of the only permanent works exhibited in the space – a work that meditates on the notion of meetings, encounters and dialogue, and what one might think of as a sculptural manifesto of the collection and its spirit. Asides from Araeen’s sculpture, MILAAP features two permanent installations on its outside: a yellow edition of Jeppe Hein’s Modified Street Lights, and a sprawling swing construction from SUPERFLEX’s One Two Three Swing! that continues into the exhibition interior itself.
