About

Otherscapes: four installations by four contemporary South African artists

28 June – 4 November 2023

 

Otherscapes proposes surveying the scene of contemporary South Africa through the artistic practices of four contemporary South African artists whose installations can be viewed as scapes. The scapes in the exhibition address a local context by interrogating the tension between utopia and failure. Four contemporary South African artists: Siemon Allen, Wim Botha, Sethembile Msezane and Nicholas Hlobo reflect their own subjective views of South Africa by embodying narratives that elucidate on the complex issues entangled in the
country.

The exhibition introduces the South African-focused programme taking place at JCAF during 2023, which will culminate with the inaugural journal launch in December.

Bookings open soon.
