Africa On The Floor - The Exhibition Catalogue

The owner of Swedish gallery modernafricanart Lande Anjous-Zygmunt was looking for a way to bring the African artists Bruce Onobrakpeya Muraina Oyelami Nike Davies Okundaye Ehi Obinyan Sam Ovraiti and Tola Wewe to a new audience. What she found was a way to deconstruct the categories of art and design and to celebrate traditional art in a most contemporary form; the art rug. This is a collection that fits neatly into the artistic heritages of three continents African Asian and European even while it transcends definition.With 64 pages and over 30 full-colour photographs and illustrations Africa on the Floor -The Exhibition Catalogue not only presents and documents modernafricanarts collection of art rugs but also deconstructs the wall between art and design.
