Imminent and Eminent Ecologies
A group exhibition opening on Thursday, 19 September at 18:30
FADA Gallery, Bunting Road Campus, University of Johannesburg
The Visual Identities in Art and Design Research Centre (VIAD) at the University of Johannesburg are delighted to announce their forthcoming exhibition of leading African and international bio- and eco-artists. The exhibition, titled ‘Imminent and Eminent Ecologies’, is co-curated by Leora Farber and Brenton Maart, and falls under VIAD’s newly established Bioart + Design Africa (BA+DA) research stream. The artworks on show foreground the entanglement between living and non/living forms, humans and the more-than-human, and the effect culture has on climate change. The exhibition advocates that holistic decolonial practice can only be manifest through breaking down the artificial boundaries between species, and between the organic and elemental.
The exhibition showcases the work of the following BA+DA team members, artists-in-residence, and research associates, together with invited artists: Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez; Janneke de Lange; Leora Farber; Stacy Hardy; Russell Hlongwane, Francois Knoetze and Amy Louise Wilson; Dean Hutton; Bronwyn Katz; Nandipha Mntambo; Miliswa Ndziba; Uriel Orlow; Theresa Schubert; and Louise Westerhout.
