SUMMARY:Interwoven Identities: Lace\, Legacy and Liberation - Opening
DESCRIPTION:Please join Origin Art for the opening of this exceptional exhibition \nWe’re excited to present the works of Fathema Bemath and Buqaqawuli Nobakada\, two artists who explore the rich symbolism of lace as a medium for challenging traditional gender norms and celebrating feminine resilience. Bemath’s sculptures juxtapose the strength of workman’s tools with the delicate intricacy of lace and porcelain\, questioning the association of fragility with femininity. Nobakada’s mixed media works reclaim lace from its sexualized narrative\, presenting it as a symbol of power and self-determination in Black womanhood. Together\, their works invite a reexamination of femininity\, identity\, and the strength woven into the very fabric of women’s lives. \n???? Saturday 25 November 2023\n????️ 12pm\n???? 19 Keyes Ave\, Rosebank \nBemath and Nobakada are paragons of resilience and rebellion in this incredible dialogue on feminism in our perpetually patriarchal societies.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION OPENING - BLOOMING AMAZING: NIC BLADEN
DESCRIPTION:Blooming Amazing runs from 02 August – 16 September 2023. \nThey are plants you will instantly recognize. “Oh”\, you might exclaim\, “we’ve got Agapanthus in their droves outside the lounge”\, or “isn’t that plant with the orange petals we’ve got growing at the back of that flower bed?” \nAs the last gusts of winter blow through Johannesburg\, Nic Bladen – the global rock star of botanical art – has turned his hand to sculpt endemic flowering plants many South Africans will know\, or even have in their own gardens. The brilliant bronzes in this new collection are a sign that spring is just around the corner in the City of Gold. \n“This much anticipated assemblage is very much a celebration of flowering plants that you may come across along the way on a walk”\, says Everard Read Chairman\, Mark Read. That walk might be into the hills around Kommetjie\, outside Cape Town\, where Bladen is based\, but you are just as likely to spot the budding Crassulas\, Clivias and Ericas that this master caster has conjured in a meander around your own suburb. Floral fundis and those simply appreciative of beautiful blooms will find equal enjoyment in this bronze bounty. \nBladen’s spectacularly crafted sculptures are part alchemy\, part fanatical technical brilliance. It is a devotion to the natural world as well as his artistic wizardry that have put these metal manifestations of plant matter into a class of their own when it comes to botanical art. This new collection is no different. Were it not for the powdery\, metallic sheen of the pieces\, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were looking at a complete\, real-life plant\, suspended from root to tip. \nOver decades\, Bladen has produced botanical sculptures based on biomes\, reserves\, regions\, plant families and the likes. Here he has changed tack\, concentrating on ‘garden’ plants – the samples he cast coming from nurseries. \nTypically\, the Cape Town artist sources the samples to work from by harvesting complete plants or cuttings from the wild or collecting nursery plants. As he puts it\, “I have different relationships with these three methods of obtaining the precious plant-matter”. \nCollecting from nurseries seems an easy fix\, but it comes with a particular complexity for Bladen. “It has a transactional element in it for me”\, he says. “The plant has not yet made contact with the earth in which it will flourish. It is in a holding space and is only slightly easier for me to apply the bronzing process to. Here\, they are usually relatively unblemished in their prime\, and put onto the nursery floor just as that species starts flowering”. The creative process might have its tensions\, but the result is artwork set to delight Joburgers. \nBlooming Amazing runs from 02 August – 16 September 2023. \nFor more information on the exhibition\, contact Gina Mollé at gina@everard.co.za or Mark Read at mark@everard.co.za

SUMMARY:IQOQO Sessions: Visual Art
DESCRIPTION:IQOQO Sessions is a series of nine inspiring talks hosted by IQOQO and taking place on 1\, 2\, 3 August 2023 at True Design in the Keyes Art Mile\, Rosebank. IQOQO Sessions is a satellite event of Joburg Decor & Design Week\, which is a new amalgamation of three very successful events: Decorex\, Design Joburg\, and 100% Design. \nEach Session tells a gripping story full of big ideas about how a leading young creative in South Africa arrived at their groundbreaking early-career moment. In the process\, these aspirational and educational tales reveal the networks and opportunities that exist in South Africa and the world that they were able to access in order to reach their dreams. \nWhat journey did a filmmaker go on to develop their first feature? How did a fashion designer come to stage their first debut international fashion show? What led to that artist’s first major exhibition? How did a game developer create their game or that architect their first award-winning building? What is the story behind their passion for Virtual Reality? Or how did they end up working in animation?

SUMMARY:Walkabout: Realities and Representations Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Origin Art presents: Realities and Representations curated by Masechaba Moloi & Oliver Antonie \nForms of Abstraction\nAlex Coetzee & Olaf Bisschoff \nThis is a new exhibition by two innovative mid-career artists working in different mediums\, with ideas about abstraction. The exhibition presents an interplay between form\, composition\, colour and material within each artist’s body of work. But more than this\, it offers a view between each body of work in the gallery as two- and three-dimensional reflections on abstraction and its propensity to foreground and recontextualise materiality\, object choices\, colour and the relationship to representation itself.

The theme of identity is woven throughout each artist’s practice\, which is rooted in their personal histories\, cultural backgrounds\, and creative processes. \nStreet Level\nBKhz   \nExhibition – Liguqubele iZulu\, \nArtist Sethembile Msezane \nBKhz Gallery is thrilled to present Sethembile Msezane’s latest exhibition\, Liguqubele iZulu\, a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience through a journey of self-reflection and emotional discovery. Msezane’s monochromatic paintings take on the shape of cloud formations\, representing a fog of darkness\, release through rainstorms\, and even a floating lightness. The exhibition intricately interweaves the physical and spiritual realms\, in grappling with various forms of loss. “A forecast of difficult times ahead- an intrusive message that’s hard to prepare for. The body of work Liguqubele iZulu reflects upon the personal challenges that were to come as communicated between realms of the physical and spiritual”\, explained Msezane. \nThis work is a reflection of the artist’s personal experience during a challenging period between late 2017 to 2021. The monochromatic paintings capture the essence of different seasons\, reflecting on the changing cycles of nature in relation to the fragility of human emotions. Some of the works are imbued with rainwater\, plants used in snuff\, and air through breathwork that created unique patterns on the delicate\, porous canvas. “Ultimately\, in fusing the healing that I found in landscapes as well as waterscapes was the message of surrender. Sometimes\, I reflect\, this is what I could have done when it started raining.” Through accepting loss\, acknowledging anger\, and meditating through fragility\, Msezane discovered a deeper understanding of these climates that echoed the seasons of her own experience. The exhibition is a grappling of the artist’s emotional\, mental\, and spiritual state during this period\, inviting viewers to contemplate their own journey of seasons and emotions. Join us for an immersive experience of reflection and contemplation as we explore an overcast sky through the eyes of Sethembile Msezane. \nThe exhibition promises to be a deeply moving and thought-provoking journey that will leave you inspired and enriched. \n  \nOkapi  \nOpen for Luxurious\, artisanal leather goods entirely handmade in Africa from sustainably sourced local material. \nTrue Design  \nLocal Grown \nExhibition in collaboration with Art Room \nParking Lot  \nAmex Mural painting

Many of the artists we are researching are formally trained\, some are recent graduates and all of them speak to the sometimes necessary phase of unlearning institutional pedagogy. They embody the idea of learning the rules in order to break them\, pointing to the way in which many artists based on the tip of Africa are establishing a singular voice that taps into internal knowledge. The participating artists follow various personal steps to create their work: an assembly of fragments that punctuate self-reflection. The project is also a continuous contemplation of our research and appreciation of reflections of artistic expressions and shared knowledge inherited from people’s ancestors. The exhibition aims to showcase different forms of knowledge and practices concerning personal narratives\, nature and the universe. INCCA has produced this exhibition as a starting point\, we hope it announces new research into the subject of the conservation of knowledge. It is the first of a number of iterations which will hopefully address the visibility of unconventional art making processes. \n  \n \n  \nStudio Nxumalo\nWE ARE WATER – Artists: Heather Gourlay-Conyngham and Jared Kruger. \nWater is looking at your attitude towards it. Something happens in water that is very similar to what happens in a human brain when something is put into it\, not just physical input\, but inputs that either come in a form of touch\, emotion and or an utterance of a sound or a mantra\, this can change and impact the neuronal structure of water. Therefore if we keep a good relationship with the water that surrounds us\, water that is within us and water that still has to come to us today\, even if its dirty water\, once it enters us\, we will dance and enjoy\, if we maintain a relationship like that with water\, our physical health and physical life will always be taken care of. \n– Sahdguru (The Mystical Secrets Of Water\, Isha Foundation\, Youtube) \nHeather Conyngham is based in the Midlands\, KwaZulu-Natal\, whilst Jared Kruger is based in thedeep south of Cape Town\, Western Cape. Both artists have a connection to the sea\, due to their coastal proximity or in this instance as an ideology that is explored and expressed through their individual bodies of work that foregrounds the ocean. Studio Nxumalo has invited the artists to a joint exhibition\, that intends to visually explore ideas around water and or the ocean\, as explored and inspired by both Conyngham and Kruger’s body of works. \nAligning with the studio’s intention to explore exhibitions and projects that contribute to conversations that are concerned with our physical\, spiritual\, psychological as well as environmental well-being\, Studio Nxumalo intends to work with this exhibition to remind our audience about our life’s proximity and similarity to water. That despite our flaws as humans\, and various inputs and impacts that our lives encounter on our day-to-day living experiences\, we remain an ocean that keeps bringing life\, light and beauty to planet earth and we should never stop exploring our potential. \n  \n \n  \nEverard Read\nExhibition Openings – 2 February at 6pm \n‘Desi Casual Glamour‘ – Artist: Githan Coopoo \n  \n \n  \nDesi Casual Glamour – A solo exhibition by Githan Coopoo A loud and deliberate gesture. A conversation between India the prophecy and a younger version of myself – a double diaspora desi\, in the throes of belonging and not\, all at once. An anthem to flamboyance\, camp\, boyish effeminacy and spectacle. Spanning a series of bright and chalky sculpted \naccessories\, Desi Casual Glamour is a mosaic of Indian cultural references\, songs and affections. More than anything\, it draws on overt stereotypes\, specifically of the Hindu faith. exhibition opening 02 February 18:00. Ends 11 March \n  \n‘Lion’s Breath’ – Artist: Ferdi B Dick \n  \n \n  \n‘Lion’s Breathe’ is Inspired by the lion’s breath yoga practice loved by yogis for its ability to inject some humor into their practice\, release tension and dispel negative energy. This role-play Yoga practice serves to encourage emotional healing and rejuvenation by encouraging you to shirk off inhibitions and surrender to your inner child. Ferdi B Dick’s \nwhimsical and brightly coloured artworks strive to foster feelings of excitement and invite audiences to step into his exhilarating imaginative world. \nAddress: 6 Jellicoe Avenue\, Rosebank. \n  \nGallery 3\nClosed for renovations

SUMMARY:DESI CASUAL GLAMOUR
DESCRIPTION:2 February 2023 – 11 March 2023 \nDesi Casual Glamour is an ode to South African Indian culture\, songs\, and affection through an anthem of flamboyance\, camp\, and boyish effeminacy. Githan Coopoo intends to hold a conversation between South African Indian prophecy and grappling with his identity as a “double diaspora desi”\, belonging and not belonging all at once”. Coopoo references overt stereotypes in the South Asian Faith to comment on specific societal discourses withheld and enforced on him growing up as a South Asian in a South African context. \nEach of the clay handbags boasts a brightly painted phrase that evokes a range of emotions in relation to Coopoo’s self-identity. Coopoo’s use of exuberant colours acts as a protective blanket between light-hearted commentary and a deeper identity and ethnicity conflict. At face value the phrases appear to be light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek\, however\, Coopoo urges his audience to ruminate on whether these phrases are celebratory or cultural insults rooted in ignorance. The ceramics are totems of the queer South Asian diaspora and its experience. \nCoopoo’s use of ceramics as a medium is driven by his love for mythology ancient craftsmanship and the relics of yesteryear handed down from one civilization to the next. The romance of objects lost and then found again lies in the transformation of it’s meaning over time. In this light\, Coopoo wants to express a transmission of queer ideas through a medium that will stand the test of time. Coopoo adopts the challenging method of using air-drying clay\, deliberately departing from the traditional use of a kiln in ceramic production. \nGithan Coopoo is a self-taught sculptor and jewellery designer from Cape Town who works exclusively with clay as a base medium. Originaly focused on volume\, opulence and fragility\, Coopoo’s clay jewellery has been shown at Fashion Weeks internationally\, including New York\, Paris\, Nigeria and Russia. Expanding upon his practice\, the recent years have seen the production of large-scale works\, best described as false ceramics. These works have predominantly taken the form of tiles\, vases and handbags which use text to communicate simple but pointed messages of a queer tonality that span from sarcastic to intimate in timbre. \nAs part of the inaugural exhibition for the Norval Foundation x Boschendal Manor House in Franschhoek\, Coopoo presented his first solo presentation\, Structural Integrity\, in 2021. Coopoo’s presentation The Luxury of Wearing Fakes\, with Everard Read Cape Town\, explored luxury consumption in both art and fashion\, while again being bolstered by the base and colourful remarks teetering between the existential and tongue-in-cheek. Coopoo also presented work with the gallery at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair in 2022.
