Artist Files: What is Success?

Kambui Olujimi invites his audience to engage in social customs like dream interpretation, penny wishing, and photo sharing (in the contemporary sense) to make artwork that expresses ideas about mythology, fantasy, and imagination. He works in many genres and a wide range of venues to encounter different types of audiences.  Check out Kambui's profile.

  • What are the challenges of engaging an audience? 
  • If an artwork is immediately understood, what are the positives and negatives of this quality?  
  • How can "success" be measured in relation to social practice?
