Samuel Nnorom on display at Utah MOCA

Primo Marella Gallery is pleased to announce that Sameul Nnorom is featured in the latest Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA)'s exhibition Something From Everything, an expansive group exhibition exploring how contemporary artists transform unexpected and everyday materials into powerful sculptural forms.

Among the diverse cohort of contributors, Samuel Nnorom stands out as a pivotal voice whose work reimagines textile and discarded material as carriers of social, cultural, and emotional meaning.

 

In Something From Everything, Nnorom’s work reflects the exhibition’s overarching inquiry into how materials shape meaning. His pieces engage with themes of cultural memory, consumer practices, and the social significance of textiles — transforming what may be perceived as mundane into forms imbued with resonance and metaphor. Through his tactile process, Nnorom invites viewers to reconsider everyday materials not merely as physical matter but as embodiments of collective histories and identities.

 

The exhibition, on view from June 27, 2025 to January 3, 2026 at UMOCA, highlights how sculptural materials inform both formal innovation and conceptual inquiry.

Nnorom’s contribution underscores a dynamic materiality that challenges conventional boundaries of sculpture and textile art.
