Really thankful to everyone that made #oeuvreoftheincomplete possible! Everyone who believed in what we were trying to achieve, everyone that came, and those who weren't able to come. That was the idea. To believe it was worth it to come. The audience that partook in the conversation. The artists @buchwithlenses @kehinde_bb @versaphile @qvxdri @chrisiduma. The sponsors, SAS @archi_unilag, Tyrone, @aharunah, @elouiseasem, @orinayo_ Daniel, Uche, Aníbaba, @design_cruz.hardebayor, @daaray_ @rayz6 @openhouselagos Ṣeun, @adeposia, Ọlámidé; Mosún, @printmydrawings, Lékan; @livinspaces, @stephenajadi, @acidgroup. Thank you all for believing in this idea, and helping it come to fruition. We without a doubt couldn't have done this without you guys. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙏🙏🙏🙇🙇😄😊🙏🙏🙏 • • • #ooti #architimeout #artexhibition #theincomplete #architectureschool #architecturestudent (at Lagos, Nigeria)

Oeuvre of the Incomplete I have never finished my design studio early! In fact there was a time I pride myself in being able to come off with good grades, despite being amongst the last to be juried. But this time, my tapping feet couldn't keep with the trepidation. It was way past noon. Four of us in that 10x10m space. Oláṣéní couldn't keep from talking at the top of his voice, with occasional bursts of comical commentary. With every coming footstep everyone looked up wanting to ask "where is the juror now?" But then we would pause... That moment was fleetingly dangerous. Akin to what we would call "sísùn lóri kẹ̀kẹ́" (meaning sleeping on a motorcycle) • • Hence... What does it mean to be incomplete? (or for something to be unfinished) Can anything ever be truly complete? What threshold separates the incomplete from the complete? Who has the right to confer such a title? It is common knowledge in schools of architecture that no matter the time given, students never complete all they want to do in time for studio juries. The idea of incompleteness, therefore being something every architecture student can relate to, becomes the very topic of our conversation. Oeuvre of the Incomplete would serve as a pop-up exhibition for the Society of Architecture Student’s (SAS Unilag) Archi Timeout. Taking place alongside Archi Timeout at the Archi Quadrangle, Department of Architecture, the exhibition seeks to bring together a group of creatives that produce some of the best non-architectural works in the department. The exhibition will feature the five artists: | Kehinde Balogun @kehinde_bb | Yusuf Sanni @buchwithlenses | Quadri Sorunke @qvxdri | Chris Iduma @chrisiduma | Philip Fagbeyiro @versaphile |. They will each be exploring in their own unique ways, their idea of what it means to be incomplete. Curated by @iam_anomalous and @jide_yeni The exhibition is proudly sponsored by | @archi_unilag | @acidgroup | @openhouselagos | @printmydrawings | A big thanks to Dare Ogunnaike @daaray_ for the graphics. • #ooti #oeuvreoftheincomplete #theincomplete #architimeout #artexhibition #architectureschool #archiunilag • Oh! And if you're close by tomorrow come see the works😉

Thank you my friends.  I haven't posted one of these in a while but wanted to let all of you know how special you are to me.  Goodnight and yes I certainly do... Love you all, Mike <3

Thank you to three of my long time favorites and friends, and a surprise thank you as well to the (probably not all that) unknown poetry editor who falls into the above category as well and was kind enough to feature my little effort.  Love you all, Mike <3
