Free for members, CAC admission for non-members


As part of his show currently on display, Odili Donald Odita will give an illustrated lecture about his work and the way that his upbringing in both Nigeria and Ohio have influenced it. He will describe the musical and visual influences behind it and the connection it has to the minimalist/conceptual art of Sol LeWitt, who also has a current show at the CAC.



Odili Donald Odita:Flow


November 10- Fall 2008

In October 2007, Odita began planning his work for Kaplan Hall, the lobby of the CAC designed by famous architect Zaha Hadid. It continues Hadid's idea that the area should be a public square and a part of Cincinnati's urban landscape. The work is intended to make the viewer move about the open space and complements the architecture. The work contains over 112 colors with different combinations on each wall. Its both enchanting and memorizing.
