Abstract

The article explores some aspects of the in progress and itinerant artwork of the Beninese artist Meschac Gaba Museum of Contemporary African Art (1997-2002), revisiting the genesis, development and critical reception, until its problematic entrance, in 2013, in the Tate’s art collection.
