‘THE INVISIBLE THREAD’
Curated by Swain Hoogervorst
Main Gallery / New Media Room
19.01.23 - 02.03.23
This exhibition of thirteen artists, (seven from abroad and six local) was inspired by a residency that artist and curator Swain Hoogervorst attended at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2022). This show starts an inter-continental, cross-cultural conversation, using a range of media to present fresh perspectives within the context of contemporary art in South Africa.
By curating local and international artists in a single space we address some of the geographical, political, and psychological boundaries constructed over time by the societies in which we live.
The works encourage viewers to consider how they interpret the world around them, challenging preconceived ideas. By bringing together various artists, this exhibition highlights both the interconnectedness as well as the individual voices within a hybrid world.
