The second exhibition of the Investec Cape Town Art Fair in partnership with Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel opens from 24 May to 28 August. The exhibition will be displayed in different areas of the hotel.
For our second exhibition we are pleased to have Cape Town based curator Anelisa Mangcu on board. Referencing the everyday, Mangcu’s perspective hones in on the pressures of ordinary existence: “We fill up our time with tasks, purpose, duty and creating memories, in hopes of taking our subjective existence seriously with intrinsic value. This way, we create value by affirming time and living it, and not simply obsessing over its passing.
You can expect to see works by artists; Mary Sibande, Trevor Stuurman, Mongezi Gum, Kimathi Mafafo, Feni Chulumanco, Buqaqawuli Thamani Nobakada, Shakil Solanki, Richard Templeton Smith, Anico Mostert, Ayogu Kingsley and Nedia Were.
“Time is our scarcest resource. It is completely non-renewable. The artists in this exhibition are encouraged to explore the passage of time that allows questions to unfold, characters to be drawn and findings to be resolved.”
