From Gordon Froud’s press release:
The concept behind this show is to showcase 40 youngish artists from across the racial and sexual classifications in South Africa in such a way that the works create conversations … [It takes] 10 of each male and female, black and white artists and gets them to make work within the same limitations resulting in a ‘supposedly’ truly representative(?) show.
…
Each artist was required to make a piece of work 40cm x 40 cm (Frames were provided to keep a uniformity of visual appearance.) These were displayed as an exhibition at KKNK.
…
Following on its success at the Klein Karoo Nationale Kunste Fees in Oudtshoorn, this show is being shown at gordart Gallery in June alongside a selection of other works selected from the festival by Gordon Froud. These include: Chris Diedericks (winner of the best show on the festival), Sandra Hanekom, Robert / Adle Hamblin, Colijn Stryjdom and Franci Cronje.
Nice show – especially the video work, including a beautiful piece by Franci Cronje and moving (as in touching, as in emotional) work by Robert / Adle Hamblin. Shout out to Ellen Papciak-Rose.
