Project Ability is proud to be presenting Kalu’s first solo exhibition. As part of the Glasgow International festival, Glasgow born Kalu will be in residence with Project Ability for the first week of the exhibition. This time will give our audiences the opportunity to watch Kalu as she creates her work, using  rhythmic repetitive motions in a mesmerising process.

Nnena Kalu is an artist working with ActionSpace, a London based visual arts organisation that supports artists with learning disabilities. To create her work, she binds and layers materials to create large, colourful structures that wrap themselves around the gallery, reacting to the size, shape and environment of each new setting.

An array of different colours and textures adorn her wrapped installations and they grow from a small curious object in the space, into a large, immersive presence which transforms the gallery into a vessel for these organic forms to inhabit. Kalu will be in residence with Project Ability during the first week of the festival; watching her work is a mesmerising experience.

Visitors can see Nnena Kalu create her work in situ, during the first week of the festival.
