Mid-career retrospective. Mbongeni Buthelezi's chosen medium is the humble plastic shopping bag, which he melts and collages to build his pictures. The hype machine argues that this allows Buthelezi's work to participate in debates about conservation, although in reality he contributes but a superficial commentary on consumer society. Expect instead conservative imagery (sentimental portraits, township scenes) rendered in an essentially gimmicky style.
