Descripción del Artista

Elias Sime (b. 1968, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) lives and works in Addis Ababa. Forged from salvaged e-waste, organic matter, and objects sourced from local markets, the artist’s absorbing collages and assemblages explore the relationship between society, nature, and technology. Sime’s repurposing of materials aligns with his long-standing practice of community engagement, in which he asserts the potential for human connection and ecological renewal. Sime’s work has been presented in solo exhibitions such as Elias Sime: Tightrope, Wellin Museum of Art, Clinton, N.Y. (2019); Elias Sime, Zoma Museum, Addis Ababa (2019); Tightrope, GRIMM, Amsterdam (2018), and British Council, Goethe Institute, Italian Cultural Institute and Alliance Éthio-Française, Addis Ababa (2013); Eye of the Needle, Eye of the Heart, North Dakota Museum of Art, Grand Forks (2012), and Santa Monica Museum of Art, Calif. (2009); and What Is Love?, Alliance Éthio-Française, Addis Ababa (2008).
