It wasn't long before Odd Obsession Movies basically began the first incarnation of Deadly Prey Gallery.
WILD AT HEART DEADLY PREY GALLERY MOVIE
Shortly after he and I met, the walls of Odd Obsession Movies were covered with movie paintings from Ghana! People in my neighborhood really started noticing them and things spread to social media quickly.
Kofi has known many of the artists since childhood, and had a small space in Accra which housed a good number paintings from the artists who were still making movie posters. After seeing that book I became obsessed with the genre, which led me to meet my best friend and partner Robert Kofi. From 2004 to 2020 I owned and operated a dvd / vhs rental store in Chicago called Odd Obsession Movies. I first found out about the Ghanaian mobile cinema in 2011 when a friend / customer of my video store showed me the book "Ghanavision" featuring 100's of hand-painted Ghanaian movie posters. It is their talented artists that helped make the latest collaboration between Patta and Order possible so we caught up with Brian Chankin to find out more about the adventure so far.Ĭan you tell us about the origin of Deadly Prey Gallery and your mission as a gallery? In this interview, we will be delving deeper into Deadly Prey Gallery's mission, their artistic collaborations in Ghana, and the impact of their work on the global art scene. Through their collaborations with artists from Ghana, Deadly Prey Gallery has provided a platform for these artists to showcase their work to international audiences, and has played a vital role in promoting cross-cultural exchange and understanding. Deadly Prey Gallery is known for its commitment to showcasing unique and innovative contemporary art from underrepresented regions of the world. Get familiar with Deadly Prey Gallery, a Chicago-based traveling art gallery that collaborates with 10 talented artists in and around Accra, Ghana. I look forward to continuing to grow and eventually having more consistent gallery hours in the future, until then your patience and appreciation is highly valued in these parts.Ĭlick HERE to make an appointment during off hours.Interview by Passion Dzenga | Photography by Brian Chankin Trash Lamb would not have survived this far without those generous people. After opening the doors in October 2020, I am forever grateful to those who have volunteered their time, expertise, and/or resources along the way. I appreciate everyone’s understanding that this gallery is a small operation run by one person as that is what the budget allows for at this time. I’ll do my best to accommodate any last minute requests but it’s not always possible. Please try to contact the gallery at least 48 hours in advance if you’re able to. If you aren't able to visit during the listed hours you can email the gallery here to set up an appointment to visit on a weekday.
