Kongo Astronauts’ “Waiting for the Sun SPACEWALKER”, 2023, has taken up permanent residence at the Seattle Art Museum amidst Nick Cave’s “Soundsuits” and a “Caterpillar Suit” by Walter Oltmann. According to curator Pamela McClusky, The KA Spacewalker stops many visitors in their tracks, before they move on to Monet’s “Water Lilies”—equally radical for its time—awaiting attention.

Kongo Astronauts construct their “Spacewalkers” from discarded electronic circuits loaded with gold, cobalt, copper and coltan, originally sourced from the mines in DRC and dumped back there. These fantastical performance constructions, reappropriate this e-waste, which Western countries ship to various countries on the African continent rather than paying to recycle. Kongo Astronauts’ innovation raising questions about the crises of late capitalism and climate change, has inspired an urban movement in Kinshasa of artists reactivating discarded materials.

If you’re in Seattle, Waiting for the Sun will light up your visit as part of the reinstallation of their permanent collection.
