Construct: Beyond the documentary photograph exhibition opening function
Back to event index

Date: 5 February 2009
Time: 17:30

All interested parties are welcome to attend the opening function of an exhibition of documentary photographs by top South African artists such as Roger Ballen, Berni Searle, Zwelethu Mthethwa and Lien Botha.

Brent Meistre, winner of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum Biennial Exhibition and Award 2006, also features on the exhibition which will be on show until 5 April 2009.

South African documentary photography has moved beyond the restraints of socio-political issues. It now includes post-apartheid commentary as well as conceptually-charged constructions which explore issues such as gender, sexuality, disability and identity.

Construct: Beyond the documentary photograph was curated by Heidi Erdmann and Jacob Lebeko. 

Please RSVP on 041 5861030.
