Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 8th July 2026 for im/MATERIAL, an intimate conversation and presentation of new works exploring the research and material investigations undertaken by current resident Moses Hamborg during his time at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ.
In February 2026, G.A.S. Foundation was formally announced as a participant in the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia by Koyo Kouoh. During the opening week of 5–9 May, the Foundation presented Chorus, a major installation developed through its residency programme spanning its purpose-built creative campus in Lagos and its sustainability-focused farm with an onsite studio in Ikise. Alongside this presentation, alumni, trustees, and collaborators participated in a range of independently programmed events across Venice, reflecting the expanding reach of the Foundation’s network.
Adeyinka Akingbade, a Lagos-based painter, photographer, and graphic designer, joins us for a four-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, photography, mixed media, installation and research, and is concerned with the repurposing of materials that are often discarded or lost to reflect on migration and memory.
Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 3rd July 2026 for Assorted Stories of Capsicum, an evening featuring a presentation on the history of capsicum, the genus of plants that includes peppers and chillies, alongside soda and zine workshops led by current resident Kim M. Reynolds.
Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) are pleased to announce a new residency collaboration with nonprofit art collective Floating Museum through The Burroughs Residency in Chicago, United States.
