EBONY/CURATED
FRANSCHHOEK CREATES 2023
Saturday 28 October 2023 till Saturday 09 December 2023

Please join us this Saturday 28 October at EBONY/CURATED Bordeaux House, Franschhoek from 11:30 am for the opening of two exhibitions and the launch of our collaboration with Mūvek.

Night is The Mother of Thoughts
- Galia Gluckman

EBONY/CURATED Bordeaux House presents a solo exhibition by Galia Gluckman, opening on Saturday 28 October at 11:30 am.

Gluckman's work explores the cycles of balance and reinvention by bringing materiality to intangible ideas, emotions, and memories that resist verbal articulation. Through repeated arrangements, the artist examines the tension felt between calm and chaos, revealing a profound relationship between artistic expression and human experience. These abstract compositions embody the interplay between light and dark, reflecting the overarching harmony in life's dichotomy.

Having participated in many collective and solo exhibitions, Gluckman is well-represented in both private and corporate collections across the globe. Locally, her work can be found in collections such as the M & C SAATCHI ABEL Collection, Rupert Collection, South African Presidential Collection and The Spier Arts Collection.

Reimagined Futures - Wole Lagunju and Franck Kemkeng Noah

EBONY/CURATED Bordeaux House showcases the work of Wole Lagunju and Franck Kemkeng Noah in this exhibition, set to open as part of Franschhoek Creates on Saturday 28 October at 11:30 am.

Wole Lagunju’s ink drawings use Adire motifs and their associated meanings as a concept to examine multiculturalism. His work critiques the racial and social structures of the 19th century whilst evoking contemporary commentaries on power, femininity, and womanhood. Lagunju was awarded the Phillip Ravenhill Fellowship by UCLA in 2006 and the Pollock Krasner Award in 2009. His works are included in the Denver Art Museum, St Louis Art Museum and the World Bank, amongst others.

Franck Kemkeng Noah’s colour and rich incorporation of detail offer a uniquely vibrant take on the concepts of interculturalism, identity and civilisation. Through a new series of works titled ‘Culte’, the artist explores pre-colonial belief systems and envisions a utopian world where differences in religious practices cohabit together. Kemkeng Noah has taken part in numerous exhibitions. In 2022, his work was featured in a collective exhibition at the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac.

Respectively born in Nigeria and Cameroon, both artists comment on post-colonial hierarchies, reimagining futures informed by the knowledge and perspectives of African diasporic communities.

Mūvek at EBONY/CURATED

EBONY/CURATED launches a collaboration with Mūvek, featuring new pieces and specially commissioned works at the Bordeaux House gallery’s upcoming event on Saturday, October 28th at 11:30 am.

Mūvek is a local design studio conceptualised and manufactured in South Africa. Drawing on early 20th-century Hungarian design, the brand experiments with construction to create elegant pieces which champion structural refinement and the contrast of natural elements. Expressing a modernist approach to assembly and working with skilled craftsmen, Mūvek dissolves the boundary between everyday functionality and art.

JOZELLE MCLEA - SUSPENDED EXPOSURE
Thursday 02 to 30 November 2023

 We are thrilled to invite you to attend the opening of a solo exhibition Suspended Exposure by Jozelle McLeaopens Thursday 2 November 2023 at 5PM

Suspended Exposure is about light, beauty, colour, and the joy of flowers. Jozelle McLea’s floral abstracts are inspired by the beauty of flora and the way light plays off their blossoms.
Portraying light in painting is the long-standing tradition wherein artists capture a fleeting moment of beauty, like the memento mori of the Dutch Golden Age. McLea’s abstracts reflect an imperfect rendering and springtime explosion of floral beauty.

Jozelle’s palette and unexpected colours encourage the eye to wander through her work as one would through a field of flowers in spring, inviting the viewer to get lost in the layers and textures. Her paintings reflect the happiness that she feels in relation to the subject matter, that light and beauty is not just the visible, but the invisible joyful innate connection between humans and nature.

Look forward to seeing you soon!
Much love, the DAOR Team

Please note, the exhibition closes end November 2023. We'd like to thank Jack Black Beer for their generous sponsorship for the event. We would also like to thank First Thursdays and their partners for the Silo District event, American Express & IQOQO.org.

Please feel free to contact us for any catalogue requests ahead of the exhibition.

ECHO - CURATED GROUP EXHIBITION
Tuesday 07 to Tuesday 28 November 2023

Echo - Opening Tuesday 7 November, 18:00

Barnard is pleased to present Echo, a curated exhibition of works by selected emerging and established artists. Drawn from both the primary and secondary markets and exploring the mediums of painting, printmaking and photography, the works in this exhibition straddle different time periods in the past decade.

Echoing earlier or previous conversations while engaging new ones, this collection explores diverse narratives relating to notions of identity, memory and geography. These recurring themes and motifs reverberate within this collection of works where individual pieces become sounding boards for their various counterparts.

The exhibition is open to view at Barnard Gallery from 7 – 28 November and includes works by artists Mohau Modisakeng, Lien Botha, Peter Eastman, Tshepiso Seleke, Virginia MacKenny, Norman Catherine, Diane Victor, Richard Mudariki, Ibim Cookey, Maria Torp, Tom Cullberg, Alastair Whitton, Jaco van Schalkwyk and Alexia Vogel.

'EN SO IS DIT' - RENTIA RETIEF
Wednesday 08 November to Saturday 16 December 2023

EBONY/CURATED presents solo exhibition by Rentia Retief opening Wednesday 8 November at 6 PM


This exhibition explores the deep connection between the vast, earthen landscapes surrounding us and the intricate emotional landscapes that dwell within. In this series of charcoal drawings and oil paintings, Retief plays with the idea of the intrinsic marks that the earth leaves upon us both physically and spiritually.

Inviting viewers to contemplate the interdependence between our environment and our inner being- the artist reflects how the outside world shapes our thoughts and emotions, and in turn, how our inner landscapes influence our perceptions of the world.

Retief focuses on the stillness of space, where emotional and physical landscapes meet. By reducing the portrayal of her landscapes to loose, gestural brush strokes, the artist leaves the viewer with a sense of longing for a place that once was or perhaps never was in the first place…

Come spoil yourself for the price of eye-cream darling, and buy a little artwork that'll fit in your carry-on and into your end-of-year bonus.

While they say diamonds are forever, great art is timeless. And art lasts a lot longer than that La Mer you've been eyeing in How to Spend It.

Leading up to our 5th birthday we're having a salon-style exhibition with artworks clustered and "plakked" all over our massive walls like an art bazaar.

The focus of the show is to have affordable work you can buy off the wall without breaking the bank. December hosts a bumper exhibition at DAOR Contemporary featuring over 30 artists we have worked with since inception, and over 130 artworks..

Look forward to seeing you soon!
Much love, the DAOR Team <3

Andrew Putter | Flowers of the Cape Peninsula, Vol. 1
Saturday 02 December 2023 from 15h00 till 18h00

Please join us on Saturday, 2 December at 15h00 for a once-off showing of Andrew Putter's latest works.

Inspired by his long-term interest in indigenous plants, each of Andrew Putter’s twelve new artworks – collectively titled Flowers of the Cape Peninsula, Vol. 1 – focuses on a different plant indigenous to the Cape Peninsula, where he has lived and worked his entire life. The Cape is the most species-rich plant kingdom in the world, packing in more botanical diversity per square meter than even the planet’s rain forests. This floral abundance has provided Putter with rich creative opportunities. Putter’s new body of art brings to mind 17th century Dutch flower paintings, Henri Matisse’s paper cut-outs, Andy Warhol screen prints and David Hockney’s iPad drawings. Over the five years of preparing to make these new works, Putter returned again and again to these influences.

Ep.1 of 2024 – Obtrusive Light Case Study & Solutions to Combat Light Pollution
Thursday 18 January 2024 at 17h45 for 18h00 till 19h00

Presenter: Phil Hammond, Lighting Engineer at BHA Lighting Design & Consulting & Educator at BHA School of Lighting


About this Webinar: This Enlightened Community event will take a deep dive into a real live case of obtrusive light and light pollution. The gory detail about tackling a case of obtrusive light will be discussed in detail, including the procedures that need to be followed to restore harmony in theses cases, with a focus on possible solutions to combat obtrusive light and minimize light pollution in the nighttime environment.

To set the scene for this webinar we will take a look at the full glory of the night sky. Ask how does the night sky differ in variable conditions? Discuss how we observe light when out and about and talk about standards, regulations and guidelines.

After setting the scene for the real obtrusive light case, we will be looking at Google Earth, then identify the source of the problem on site and analyze & report the extent of the problems to mitigate for obtrusive light and light pollution. Finally we will discuss lighting design solutions and techniques to combat or eliminate the problem of obtrusive light.

Venue: Webinar - Free of Charge
