Olalekan Jeyifous Brings “Even in Arcadia…” to Art Omi

In Olalekan Jeyifous’s “Even in Arcadia…” the exhibition draws inspiration from the Arcadian myth, the exhibition juxtaposes picturesque portrayals of idyllic pastoral life with glimpses of a retrofuturist urban protopia set within the Hudson Valley. Those complex ideas are explored in this conversation between the artist and HMM producer Sina Basila Hickey.

“Even in Arcadia…” opens Sat. March 16 at Art Omi
