For the entire month of June, Jide Aje shifts from creating on surfaces within a space (his studio) to creating directly on the surfaces of a space (the Hatch Gallery walls).
The jumping off point for this body of work is the traditional, vernacular architecture of the Hausa peoples in the Northern regions of Nigeria in West Africa. Specifically, this is referred to as Tubali architecture.
This show starts on June 1 and runs till the 30th. There will be an opening on the 3rd, where there should be about three days worth of work on the walls. On the 30th, a closing reception signalling the conclusion holds. In between, the public is encouraged to drop in to watch work in progress.
The gallery will be open Thursday through Sunday starting June 1st. Thursday and Friday, 6-9pm, Saturday and Sunday, 12-5pm. On Saturday, June 3rd, the gallery will be open 12-9 pm, with a reception starting at 6.
