The Lagos OPEN RANGE exhibition is primarily conceived to promote a new form of intuitive photography, photographers and video artists who ordinarily getting the critical attention their works deserve.  The exhibition is to give visibility to all the artists who have a consistent practice and show signs of promise to develop exceedingly their oeuvres. We are ambitious about the Open Range and hope it transits into a bi-annual event that will explore the new diversities, fragmentations and relationships of photographic images to subjects, spaces and scenarios in Nigeria and (potentially) beyond. The specificity of Lagos, the daring eyes of the artists and the commentaries on our contemporary lives indeed inspires the project and the curatorium’s genuine aspiration to realise through this exhibition and publication.
