(“Beatrice Street” by Maggie Strachan - 30x19cm)Fat Tuesday in Kloof will present an exhibition titled Lost, Found and Stolen featuring the works of Joan Martin, Lara Mellon and Maggie Strachan from May 8.
“The last exhibition at Fat Tuesday spoke about our methods of working as a group – finding a direct and particular response to each other’s work which became a discourse about our methods of art making and our childhood memories,” say the three artists. “This exhibition is a continuation of our first theme. We revisit memories both personal and collective, things that we perceive individually and jointly from the mist, looking at places and ideas that have been abandoned and forgotten by ourselves and by society as a whole.”
Through regular contact and scheduled meetings, the artists initially set up themes and finding their way unexpectedly through these verbal and visual clues often resulted in these prompts being combined in a new context. There are definite connections between their artworks and they admit that they often consciously and unconsciously “steal” from each other’s work.
On May 12 at 10h30, a walkabout will be conducted by artist and art teacher Ana de Vlieg while on May 26 at 103h0 there will be a walkabout and discussion of the artworks by Estelle Hudson who is a Clinical Social worker applying Jungian Theory.
Lost, Found and Stolen will be opened on May 8 at 18h30 by Jeanette Gilks, fibre artist and teacher of a. It will then run until May 26. Fat Tuesday is situated on the Bellevue Campus - Bellevue Road in Kloof. More information on 031 717 2785/9.
