This afternoon (May 31) at 14h00, the KZNSA will
host an Artist Walkabout with Isabel Mertz and Jeff Rankin, who will take
patrons through the journeys that led to their beautiful solo exhibitions currently
on view.
Mertz recently returned from Paris where
she took up her 2011 Gerard Sekoto most promising artist award, and she invites
the viewer to engage in sculptures and prints that explore her encounters with
the ‘unmappable’. Rankin, meanwhile, will offer insight into his unique
collaboration with poet Doug Knox, aka Wylde, where Rankin's distinctive
woodcuts illustrate selected extracts of Wylde’s poetry.
Isabel Mertz’s exhibition is presented by
Absa, together with the French Institute of South Africa in collaboration with
SANAVA, the Embassy of France in South Africa and the French cultural network
of Alliances Française in Southern Africa.
