The exhibition Artists in Dialogue: Sandile Zulu and Henrique Oliveira is the second in a series of exhibitions in which exciting artists (at least one of whom is African) are invited to a new encounter -- one in which each artist responds to the work of the other, and resulting in original, site-specific works at the museum.

Artists in Dialogue II

In het Westen hebben we de neiging om de wereld in te delen in ‘Wij’ versus de ‘Anderen’. We denken al snel een monopolie te hebben op alles wat modern is. Fetish Modernity toont dat dit absoluut niet het geval is en dat er ook buiten het Westen belangrijke vernieuwingen ontstaan.

Resultaten van het verblijf najaar 2010 van fotograaf Sammy Baloji en schrijver Patrick Mudekereza (DR Congo) in het museum. Zij wierpen een eigentijdse blik op het koloniale verleden om zo tot een dialoog te komen tussen de creativiteit van toen en die van nu.

Nearly 60 evocative black and white landscapes. Guided by a group of former South African Defence Force soldiers, on their first trip back to the Angolan countryside since the 1988 ceasefire at Cuito Cuanavale, Ractliffe documents what she terms as the 'landscape of leftovers' from the country's devastating 27-year civil war.

A number of works that show how Hlobo uses sculpture, installation, performance and drawing to address issues of gender, cultural difference and contemporary politics. Hlobo’s work implicates viewers in the scenario of South African culture, providing enough clues to bridge the differences between his local cultural sensitivities and those of a global art world.

The paintings are character sketches of individuals struggling against the unpredictable ways of nature. These imagined people are not only confounded by the shifting occurrences within their environments, they are also troubled by their own individual natures.

Uit de schilderijen en tekeningen van Osagie Edomwandagbon (Nigeria/Nederland) spreekt eenzelfde soort energie als uit de Vrijheidsschreeuw, het schilderij van Karel Appel dat als exemplarisch wordt beschouwd voor de COBRA beweging. Een haast kinderlijk enthousiasme om aan iets nieuws te beginnen en de beklemming van het verleden achter je te laten.

Tijdens zijn laatste bezoek aan zijn 'home town', Durban in Zuid-Afrika, bracht schilder Jon Eiselin de meeste tijd door aan de tropische zuidkust, waar hij geïnspireerd werd door de algemene levendigheid van de mensen, de overvloed van kleur, hitte, het scherpe zonlicht en water, de noodzakelijke en verschillende verschijningsvormen ervan.

In his new works, Fathi Hassan (Egypt) continues his exploration of representational possibilities of language inspired by texts from the Arabic calligraphy, firmly rooted in a framework of references that reflect his Nubian heritage and willingness to embrace a continuum of cultural precedents and influences.

Previous Standard Bank Young Artist award winner Michael MacGarry presents a solo show of a comprehensive body of new work, including small and large-scale sculpture, photography and video. The works manifest MacGarry's ongoing concern with contemporary sociopolitical and economic life in several key African countries, along with broader conjecture as to future projections and fictions on the continent as a whole.

In his first solo exhibition at Goodman Gallery Cape Stefanus Rademeyer expands on his interdisciplinary approach to art-making; intersecting the seemingly unlikely fields of art and mathematics. Rademeyer has developed algorithms that describe the inherent form of various natural structures which are then translated into visual images using digital processes.

New photographic work by Zwelethu Mthethwa. The Brave Ones is a series of portraits – often, group portraits – of young men from the Shembe Church group during their annual pilgrimage to the sacred mountain of Nhlangakazi in KwaZulu Natal.

Shimmer is an exhibition of new and recent work by Berni Searle. Included in the exhibition is Interlaced, a major three-screen video installation. The piece presents a site-specific engagement with Bruges, Belgium, one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe.

Berni Searle: Shimmer

While Vladimir Tretchikoff (1913-2006) is undoubtedly one of South Africa's most controversial artists, much maligned in the 1960s and onwards by several members of the established arts community, there can be no doubt that he has become a cultural icon and remains a favourite artist to many South Africans. Despite this, there has been almost no serious assessment of Tretchikoffs legacy.

Many Durbanites have known Ranjith Kally's work from the social pages of local newspapers for decades, but this 85 year old photographer received scant recognition before his first solo exhibition, which opened in Johannesburg in 2004. Kally has portrayed some of the most important and glamorous figures in South African history, including Nelson Mandela, Chief Albert Luthuli, Miriam Makeba and Sonny Pillay.

Photos from the DRUM magazine archives from the 1950s. These photos, mainly from Durban, give glimpses of an' Indian' underworlds, shantytowns, bohemian jazz clubs and movie houses, cosmopolitan political activists, masculine identities and notions of modern 'Indian' women.

At Home focuses on rural areas where breadwinners have migrated away in search of work, leaving behind the young and the old. For those 'left behind at home', life is slow and seemingly empty. The Ghost Towns series depicts small South African towns that have been abandoned and forgotten.

The photographic essays Santu Mofokeng composed over the years, some of which are a life-long work in progress, range from the Soweto of his youth, from his investigations of life on the farms, the everyday life of the township and in particular, representations of the self and family histories of black South Africans, to images from the artist’s ongoing exploration of religious rituals and of typologies of landscapes.

Many Durbanites have known Ranjith Kally's work from the social pages of local newspapers for decades, but this 85 year old photographer received scant recognition before his first solo exhibition, which opened in Johannesburg in 2004. The exhibition is an acknowledgement of Kally's work since 1945.

Not directly confrontational, Searle often uses her own body in performative video works. She explores aspects of her heritage and the way in which this intersects with gender, history and memory in order to question the notion of identity and to examine the residual effects of colonialism and apartheid as well as ideas relating to migration, nationalism and xenophobia in various contexts.

Works featured in this installation are highly creative re-imaginings of the iconic form of the African mask. Among them are sculptural assemblages made of incongruous combinations of discarded materials by two contemporary artists from the Republic of Benin, Romuald Hazoumé (b. 1962) and Calixte Dakpogan (b. 1958).

Reconfiguring an African Icon: Odes to the Mask by Modern and Contemporary Artists from Three Continents

Explores the ways in which five contemporary artists have used the camera to explore, extend and question the power of photography as a documentary medium. Includes work by Luc Delahaye, Mitch Epstein, Guy Tillim (South Africa) and Akram Zaatari, as well as two important earlier works by Boris Mikhailov.
