AVANT CAR GUARD

Johannesburg-based three member visual art collective to present DVD installation at KZNSA

Coming up at the KZNSA is an exhibition ion the cinema section from Avant Car Guard. This is a Johannesburg-based three member visual art collective, exhibiting and authoring as a single artist.

The collective is comprised of Zander Blom, Jan-Henri Booyens and Michael MacGarry (winner of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Visual Arts, 2010). They have produced three publications on their work, titled Volume I, Volume II and Volume III. They have exhibited at a national and international level for several years, with their production being based on a conceptual, self-reflexive and satirical approach to the art world – its markets, practitioners, as well as the process of creating itself. Their work is manifest across multidisciplinary means; through photography, sculpture, performance, multiples, installation and painting.

The exhibition in the cinema at the KZNSA is composed of a DVD installation of the work titled Gif.

Avant Car Guard opens on March 23 at 18h00 to runs until April 17 at the KZNSA Gallery at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, in Durban. More information on 031 277 1703, fax 031 201 8051 or cell 082 220 0368 or visit www.kznsagallery.co.za
