SOME AFRICAN IDENTITIES IN THE CONTEMPORARY MOMENT -
Our second group exhibition at Graham Contemporary
presents a body of work by emerging and established
artists across several different mediums. What
brings the selection of painting, photography,
prints and collage together is an impulse on the
part of all the participating artists to reconfigure
and reconsider the experience of being ‘African’.

Franschoek -
'Short Stories'
by Gavin Rooke |
|
Saturday 14 May
to Thursday 30
June 2022 |
|
Join us for the opening this Saturday, 14th
May 2022 at 11:30am at Franschhoek Square, 32
Huguenot Street, Franschhoek.
The opening coincides with the
Franschhoek Literary Festival which takes place
from 13-17 May 2022.
"Gavin Rooke’s sculptures in copper might look like
simplified geometric forms with simple, everyday
phrases stamped onto them, but that’s where the
simplicity ends. Both words and matter become
complex and unstable in his hands. The reduced forms
of the sculptures look at a glance like classic
minimalism – precisely the kind of object that
rebuffs meanings and resists labels: its artistic
significance lying in its ability to refer to
nothing outside of itself and be nothing but itself;
objects of pure integrity. Yet, he has stamped them
with phrases, as if labelling them and making them
represent something.
These works, however, engage with irony and double
entendre: the ways in which the meanings of words
and phrases double, or multiply, sometimes meaning
two things at once, sometimes even opposites." -
Graham Wood
The exhibition can be viewed in person and on
Artsy.

Modern Masters
IV |
|
Wednesday 15
June 2022 to
Saturday July 2022 |
|
A selection of Modern works created by important
South African artists prior to 2000.
Our fourth Modern Masters exhibition, curated by
Marc Stanes, features the following notable artists:
Walter Battiss, Alexis Preller, Barbara Grace Burry,
Peter Clarke, Ernst De Jongh, George Diederick
During, Hannes Harrs, Jane Tully Heath, Dezso
Koenig, Alfred Neville Lewis, Donald Madge, Leonard
Matsoso, Nathaniel Mokgosi, Sam Nhlengethwa and
Cecil Skotnes.
Highlights of the exhibition are two works by Walter
Battiss namely ‘Nudes No 1' and 'Figure in Pink’.
Battiss was born in Somerset East in 1906 and was a
founding member of the ‘New Group’. A highly
versatile and innovative artist, Battiss is regarded
as one of South Africa’s foremost abstract artists
and was unique in not having studied in Europe.
Constantly re-inventing himself throughout his life,
Battiss was the first South African artist to regard
San painting as an important art form in its own
right. In 1948 he ventured into the Namib Desert to
live amongst the Bushmen to further understand this
aesthetic. In 1949 Battiss met Pablo Picasso and
Gino Severini in Italy and his friendship with
Picasso continued, often meeting at the artist’s
studio in Paris in the 1950s. Throughput his career
he used his art, wit, humour and satire to force the
viewer to take note of the damaging government
policies of the time. Battiss became the father of
conceptual and performance art practice in South
Africa as he grew older. Much exhibited and
published locally and internationally during his
lifetime, Battiss was awarded the Medal of Honour of
South African Akademie and was elected an Honorary
Member of the Academy of Florence.
Another notable work in Modern Masters IV is
‘Archangel’ by Alexis Preller, which the artist
considered his most important painting from his
final solo exhibition in 1975 held shortly before he
died. This unusually monochromatic work featuring a
god-like mythological, disembodied head is
reminiscent of the Yoruba Ibeji figures from
Nigeria, with which Preller was familiar.
This exhibition will be available to view in person
and on
Artsy. Please click

PAINTER
PAINTER! |
|
Tuesday 21 June
2022 to Tuesday
26 July 2022 |
|
Barnard is please to present PAINTER PAINTER! an
exhibition of work by selected artists engaging with
the medium and material of paint. Diverse in their
approach and process, each of these painters
nonetheless shares a common commitment to, and
celebration of, the medium with its many histories.
Characterized by both repetition and reactivation of
a language with numerous dialects, this exhibition
explores emergent developments in painting and the
ever-shifting role of the painter in contemporary
art and culture, which remains as fluid, and
arguably relevant, as the medium itself.
PAINTER PAINTER! includes work by Jo Hummel, Alexia
Vogel, Katherine Spindler, Jennifer Morrison, Paul
Senyol, Emma Aspeling, Tom Cullberg, Swain
Hoogervorst, Jeanne Hoffman, Claire Johnsson, Jo
O’Connor, Gabrielle Raaff, Emma Nourse, Cathy
Layzell, Jill Trappler and Oda Tungodden. |

GIfA is inviting you to join the Leonardo
Building Tour
The Leonardo - The tallest building
in Africa, was originally briefed as 4 basements, 5
floors of retail and conferencing with offices and
apartments to total anticipated height of 33
storeys. Adaptive flexibility was required to
respond to the changing market demands and financial
viability throughout construction. The architects
adopted processes and designs that were extremely
flexible, which permitted the uses to be determined
by market demands and whilst the tower was under
construction. This required significant flexibility
and robustness in the design. Ultimately a complex
57 story building project has been completed in a
manner which has far exceeded the originally
anticipated commercial expectations. Collaboration
with the engineers ensured sufficient capacity and
integration to allow construction to proceed at
lower levels and floors to be added without
impacting the construction programme. The largely
column free space, orientation and layout of the
plans also provided flexibility... |

Wondering what’s
next for design
in Africa? |
|
Johannesburg -
Thursday 28 July
2022 to Sunday
31 July 2022 |
|
If you’re following us on social media, you’ll know
that last week we relaunched Decorex Africa and 100%
Design Africa at events in Cape Town and Joburg.
We started at the acclaimed Zeitz MOCAA in Cape
Town, and then moved to Aurum in Joburg, where we
continued the festivities, with inspiring local and
international speakers, as well as a great deal of
reconnecting and networking within the design
industry. In case you missed it, this is what you
need to know:
At the core of our evolution is a deep and fervent
belief in the power of our industry and its
potential for growth. As the world changes, we're
being asked to change too. |
- There is a renewed focus and
commitment to CURATION as a tool for
industry elevation. This will be
supported by an investment in
re-earning our position as a design
authority. By doing this, we'll be
better placed to lead and shape
change in the industry; from
celebrating icons, to introducing
and better platforming the next
generation of talent, and launching
new products.
- To support our live events,
we'll be hosting a calendar of
side-events. This will include the
launch of Summits in both CT and JHB
where we'll be hosting international
and local speakers to inspire the
future.
- You can also expect amplified
business and trade networking
opportunities.
Now more than ever, the world, and
Africa needs creative, new
solutions. If you haven't yet made
the call to be a part of Decorex
Africa and 100% Design Africa this
year, we’d like to suggest to you
that the time is now.

It’s time to reimagine.
