Material Gains - Stellenbosch University Museum Group Exhibition: 26 July - 20 October 2018 Material Gains showcases selected works from Spier’s diverse collection of contemporary African art. Curated by Candice Allison, it explores the concept of ‘material’ – denied as both intangible ideas and physical substance. Woven through the exhibition is a common interest in materiality and especially in concepts and values attributed to materials, alternative mediums, and contemporary appropriation of traditional techniques. Created by artists from across the continent – including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Congo and Nigeria – these works span the mediums of painting, photography, bead work, sculpture, crochet, embroidery and found materials. Collectively, they represent and celebrate the ‘material gains’ which have positively impacted the stability and sustainability of Africa’s visual arts. |
