Temitayo Ogunbiyi will present ‘You will have revelations along felled branches and longer roots/routes’ at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, beginning September 18, 2026. The exhibition marks the Lagos-based artist’s first solo presentation in Columbus and will bring together works spanning multiple media. Gallery admission will be free.
According to the Wexner Center’s announcement, Ogunbiyi’s exhibition connects the present with the past through dialogues involving global current events, plants, people and communities. The description does not specify the individual works or media included, but positions the exhibition as a broad examination of relationships between ecological and social life, historical experience and contemporary conditions.
Ogunbiyi is based in Lagos, Nigeria. An image caption distributed with the announcement identifies an installation view of the exhibition at the Arts Club of Chicago in 2025, photographed by Michael Tropea. The caption establishes an earlier presentation of the titled project, while the Wexner Center announcement identifies the Columbus exhibition as Ogunbiyi’s first solo exhibition in that city.
The presentation will be part of a group of exhibitions opening at the Wexner Center on September 18. The same programme includes Sammy Baloji’s ‘When Extraction Becomes Form It Speaks in Borrowed Tongues,’ described by the center as the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States and a multimedia exploration of extractive economies and their effects on land, people and cultural forms. It also includes ‘where you go full, volume 5,’ a Wexner Center co-commission by sweat variant, the collective practice of Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born.
The Wexner Center for the Arts is located at The Ohio State University, at 1871 North High Street in Columbus. Its programme includes exhibitions, film and video, performing arts, education and talks. The center’s public materials list gallery admission as free for everyone, making Ogunbiyi’s exhibition accessible without an admission charge.
The announcement supplies an opening date but no closing date for ‘You will have revelations along felled branches and longer roots/routes.’ Further details about the exhibition’s checklist, installation, accompanying programmes and duration were not included in the available material.
