OSLO – Senga Nengudi: Sand and Water

For more than five decades, Senga Nengudi has developed a distinctive practice that moves across sculpture, performance, dance, and language, connecting humble everyday materials with philosophical and spiritual ideas. Her works are at once abstract, anthropomorphic, and vibrant. Pointing to social and political conditions without ever becoming illustrative, they instead insist on the spontaneous and existential encounter between artwork and viewer, grounded in a profound belief in the potential of every human being.

Senga Nengudi is a central figure in recent American art history. In recent years, her works have been the focus of several major exhibitions across Europe and South America. Sand and Water is Senga Nengudi’s first solo exhibition in Denmark and the Nordic region and has been developed in close collaboration with the artist.
