FUTURE EXPOSED

For the first time the CFAD (Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design) in Durban’s CBD is hosting their annual students’ portfolio exhibition at both the Durban Art Gallery and CFAD exhibition space. Titled Future Exposed, the exhibition runs until February 4, 2011.

The sheer body of work, and the incredibly high standard of the art have meant that for the first time the exhibition will have two venues. Previously only the CFAD space was used, but the work has shown such a quantum leap in volume and quality, that a carefully-chosen selection of pieces will hang in the charming red room at the top of the stairs of the Durban Art Gallery, as well as at CFAD.

A total of 168 first, second and third year students are enrolled for the integrated diploma this year and the multi-media exhibition shows the breadth of the work they have explored: animation, cartooning, graphic design, drawing, painting, TV commercial production and web design. Their hugely varied curriculum has seen the students exploring the world of mosaic, fashion, graffiti, public art and writing – as well as the expected genres of fine art, animation and design.

CFAD is situated at 201 Salbany House, 50 Albany Grove, Durban. For more info on projects run at CFAD, contact Sasha on 031 305 2480. Registration is now open for students for 2011.
