Press Release

Maureen Paley is pleased to present An angel is just a messenger, the first solo exhibition of Kayode Ojo at the gallery and in the UK.

His work employs a process of sourcing, collecting and displaying objects. His sculptures reveal how items can confer social status upon their owner, examining the artifice of taste and the aspirations associated with it. Though the sculptures reflect on the markers of excess and accumulation, these carefully staged compositions also embrace the fragility and impractical beauty of their objects.

Drawing materials from fast-fashion websites and online retailers, he integrates the processes of browsing, scrolling, and acquiring into his artistic practice. In his artwork captions, Ojo quotes the original item descriptions as they appeared online, drawing attention to the search-optimised keywords that underpin the algorithmic structures that govern contemporary e-commerce.
