In the duo exhibition Homesick, SPECTA presents new works by Johannes Sivertsen and Modou Dieng Yacine.
Both artists live in exile, far from where they grew up: Johannes Sivertsen, who comes from a Parisian suburb, now lives in Copenhagen, while Modou Dieng Yacine, who grew up in Saint Louis, Senegal, now lives in Chicago. Both artists are looking at their home countries from their current locations in a complex state of longing and worry.
In the exhibition Homesick, they each return to their starting point, to take a critical look at the urban spaces of their childhood and the stories they hide.
