Dale Washkansky
presents A Space Between in the Main gallery. As Washkansky locates
himself in relation to the holocaust, his photographic works remind us to
consider the
individual
within the enormity of genocide. Landscapes photographed by Waskansky in 2008 at
two former concentration camps in Germany (Buchenwald and Ravensbrück) are
exhibited in relation to cyanotype prints on springbok hides . The different
photographic material utilised amplifies the contrast of reality and memory,
personal stories within public histories.
Maurice
Mbikayi
employs
the Long gallery with Notre Peau (Our Skin). Mbikayi investigates
the effects of technology on identity and history whilst unpacking the various
ways in which the technological revolution has both positively and negatively
impacted on Africa. Evocative portraits are created out of discarded technology;
computer matter becomes skin as cell phones become
hearts.
Neil
Nieuwoudt employs the Artstrip with a mixed media body of work entitled
Imperial. Nieuwoudt plays with materiality, line and colour in
his collage and animation works, which are reminiscent of the Rorschach test in
their abstraction and conceptual parameters.
