    Bertrand Lavier — Morceaux Choisis

    Bertrand Lavier has long made a career out of framing both the extraordinary and the mundane with equal artistic reverence. His knack for manipulating reality, sometimes without intervening at all, is astounding, bewildering, ingenious and hilarious – all dependant on where you’re standing. What Lavier calls his “demonstrations” are less acts of making than acts…

    Exhibition: Headstrong – Basquiat on Paper

    Jean Michael Basquiat is one of those artists whose mythology has somehow outgrown its medium.

A common thread between artists of this ilk is that they didn’t set out to achieve this…

    1-54 Contemporary African Art — 7th Edition

    Diaspora. There’s that word again. It’s one of those overused terms whose meaning has diluted in impact.

  • Where to? — Cromwell Place

    Where to? — Cromwell Place

    It’s a curious paradox that in times of crises we must prioritise pillars of survival over enjoyment.   Healthcare, education and commerce have dominated our collective attentions these past couple of years and the world, by necessity, has been forced to take on a greyer complexion. However, it’s in these times of sparsity that the…
