| Video Discription | Artist Michael Armitage in conversation with Owen Martin at Astrup Fearnley Museet on 15 March 2024, on his work "Hope" (2017), included in the current display of the Astrup Fearnley Collection, and his artistic practice more broadly. The paintings of Michael Armitage reconcile contemporary social and political life, often in East Africa, with art’s histories and languages. Images from broadcast media and digital platforms, as well as iconography from popular culture and his own memories, are filtered through the artist’s oneiric and acute vision. Linen or canvas is replaced by Lubugo cloth, a substrate formed from the bark of the Omutuba tree with rich cultural associations. This material, which has fissures and seams, unsettles easy association to lineages of painting while affiliating Armitage’s work with cultural practices in East Africa. Michael Armitage was born in 1984 in Nairobi, Kenya and lives and works between London and Nairobi. He received his BA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art, London (2007) and has a Postgraduate Diploma from the Royal Academy Schools, London (2010). In 2022, the Royal Academy of Arts, London, elected him a Royal Academician in the category of painting. Armitage is the founder of the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute (NCAI), a non-profit platform established in 2021. NCAI hosts exhibitions, curatorial research residencies, libraries and archives, as well as other educational initiatives that enrich the discourse on contemporary creative practices in the region.
