ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH 2024
For our fifth participation in Art Basel Miami Beach, Galerie Poggi is proud to present a project featuring two of the most acclaimed artists from the 60th Venice Biennale. Kapwani Kiwanga currently represents the Canadian Pavilion with a solo exhibition, described as one of the « Six Best Exhibitions to see in Venice » (Frieze Magazine). Troy Makaza represents the Pavilion of Zimbabwe alongside four other artists. « Beyond the borders of Zimbabwe, Makaza’s talent has captivated audiences on a global scale. » (Whitewall).

This project brings together one of Kapwani Kiwanga’s sculptures from the Canadian Pavilion. This iconic piece, exhibited for the first time outside the Biennale, engages in a dialogue with Fire & Fallow, a piece which deploys minimalist formal language to address economic issues of land ownership and the exploitation of natural resources. Additionally, the project includes a series of Sisal works inspired by the artist’s ongoing research into botanical archives. Troy Makaza’s contributions draw from the series he initiated for his Venice Biennale participation. Building on this foundation, he has created stunning new artworks specifically for this event.
