March 1-22, 2025 | Opening Reception on Saturday, March 1, from 1-9 PM.
COOP is pleased to present Logged in by Alabama-based artist, Vincent “Sniper” Frimpong. Frimpong’s work serves as a declaration to adapt to the environment and spirit. When coming from one continent to another, learning new systems and lived experiences forces one to be a shapeshifter. In these times, collaborating within a digital and physical realm allows for his assemblage, installation works to take many forms. These works offer space for reflection, rebellion, and re-contextualizing what it means to be an African man in a Western world. Here are the inner workings of mind to offer both risk and understanding an ever-changing landscape.
