Karin Lijnes presents a ceramic and multimedia installation entitled
&Pooof! in the main gallery.
Beautifully articulated ceramic bottles, labour intensive in their
construction, investigate the power of branding and the effects of mass
production.  A master of her craft, Lijnes utilises the traditional
language of ceramic combined with the contemporary language of
multimedia in an exhibition that brings to light the discarded in our
society.
 
Gretchen van der Byl presents We Already Know How This Will End in the
Long Gallery.
This body of work on paper negotiates the beginning and the end of
everything - every beginning contingent upon an inevitable ending. Using
these ideas as parentheses, her works attempt to articulate the sweet
futility of our attempt to negotiate some sort of meaningful existence
in the brief interim between being and not-being. 
 
Igshaan Adams presents his first solo exhibition Vinyl in the Artstrip.
Vinyl negotiates the politics of identity and community. Old vinyl is
sensitively reconstituted from utilitarian flooring into wall based
mixed media work.
