Serge Alain Nitegeka: Configurations in Black
30 January - 8 March 2025
Marianne Boesky Gallery
507 West 24th Street

Serge Alain Nitegeka (b. 1983, Rwanda; based in Johannesburg, South Africa) will present Configurations in Black, a new solo show at Marianne Boesky Gallery. Influenced by his early experience as a refugee, Nitegeka produces work that addresses issues of identity sparked by forced migration and cultural and political borders.

With his new exhibition Configurations in Black, Nitegeka will debut an array of fresh-from-studio paintings and sculptures that expand on his practice's core themes while also incorporating the visual languages of minimalism and geometric abstraction. However, Nitegeka reappropriates those movements' formal preoccupations with color, line, and shape to examine the lingering effects—both personal and political—of displacement and statelessness.

Configurations in Black will be on view alongside Allison Janae Hamilton: Celestine in Marianne Boesky Gallery’s adjacent Chelsea space at 509 West 24th Street.
