Animal Farm by Daniel Naudé
Daniel Naudé's series of photographs focusses on the relationship between human beings and domesticated animals, and the way in which the histories of people, animals and the landscape have become entwined and indivisible over centuries. Begun during a road trip from Cape Town to Mozambique in 2008, Naudé's images locate the animal centrally in both idea and format.
BOS - Constructed Images and the Memory of the South African Border War - Christo Doherty
Investigates the memory of the South African Border War through constructed photographs based upon specific examples of photographic images from the media coverage of the time. These photographs will be exhibited as a transactive intervention that challenges the growing public discourse around the memory and implications of the war.
Bird's Milk by Dineo Seshee Bopape
Dineo Seshee Bopape is known for her playful, experimental video works and cluttered installations of found objects. These delve into the magic and mysteries of the metaphysical realm and disrupt our understanding of time and space. Bird's Milk began as a 'love letter', capturing everyday events in a relationship. When the affair ended, the footage was re-edited in a process of reconfiguring memory, allowing the descriptions of things to bleed into each other and dissolve into fields of colour.

Drie Zuid-Afrikaanse kunstenaars: Dineo Seshee Bopape (1981), Zanele Muholi (1972) worden geplaatst naast het werk van Marlene Dumas (1953). Feminisme is een belangrijk thema. Muholi - zelf lesbisch - kaart onderwerpen aan waar een taboe op ligt: homofobie en transseksualiteit. Ze strijdt tegen discriminatie en richt zich juist op de positieve beeldvorming van de lesbische leefwereld.

Bringing together old and new photographs of Johannesburg, the exhibition's title refers to the obsolete South African motorcar registration acronym 'Transvaal, Johannesburg'.

Bird's Milk by Dineo Seshee Bopape
Dineo Seshee Bopape is known for her playful, experimental video works and cluttered installations of found objects. These delve into the magic and mysteries of the metaphysical realm and disrupt our understanding of time and space. Bird's Milk began as a 'love letter', capturing everyday events in a relationship. When the affair ended, the footage was re-edited in a process of reconfiguring memory, allowing the descriptions of things to bleed into each other and dissolve into fields of colour.
