Folder with articles about Jean Katambayi Mukendi (Congo, 1974). Trained as an electrician, his entire artistic practice is imbued with his fascination for mathematics, engineering, geometry, and technology. Profoundly marked by his upbringing in the workers’ camp of his mining hometown and by its mechanisation, Katambayi creates fragile and complex installations and drawings inspired by sophisticated electrical circuits and technological studies. His works are part of a search for solutions to social problems in current Congolese society, as well as to the country’s depletion of its enormous energetic resources. Often made of recycled and impermanent material, such as cardboard and recycled electronic material, the artist’s poetic pieces attempt to redress the imbalance of the world’s hemispheres. Katambayi took part in Stroom's exhibtion series 'Attempts to Read the World (Differently), ARW(D) : Three Exhibitions in Five Acts (27 Nov.2016 - - 5 March 2017). In three successive solo exhibitions Max de Waard, Monira Al Qadiri and Katambayi Mukendi presented proposals that intended to breathe new life into the way we think about our ever-changing world.
