No Longer and Not Yet: Lagos x Johannesburg

50 Golborne is delighted to present ‘The No Longer And The Not Yet: Lagos x Johannesburg’, a two-artist exhibition aiming to set up a conversation between Nigerian-born, Brooklyn-based Olalekan Jeyifous and South African Jake Singer about their respective visions of Lagos and Johannesburg.

The No Longer and the Not Yet is Jacques Derrida’s very definition of time. This essential antagonism is found in the work of both Jeyifous and Singer: a forever evolving urban landscape, haunted by the spectre of Modernism. A No longer and not Yet time in which destruction and construction are intimately linked, as are order and chaos.
