Shadows", oil on linen by Scott Bredin)
Opening on June 29 is artSPACE durban’s Main Gallery is
their Inspiration VI Exhibition, Durban:
Yesterday, Now and Tomorrow.
“A city is an entity constantly changing and mirroring the
aspirations and values of its citizens and governing systems. As we live in our
cities we create our own ghettos and thus are mostly unaware and unfamiliar
with vast sections of them,” says Karen Bradtke of artSPACE durban.
For a second time since its first Inspiration exhibition,
artSPACE durban invited 25 of Durban’s best artists to join them in an eight-hour
tour of city areas, seldom if ever visited.
The tour was designed to give the artists a day away from
their usual work places and environment to reflect on the theme of the
exhibition while in different and unfamiliar surroundings with all that entails.
The participating artists are Caroline Birch, Jane Oliver,
Grace Kotze, Coral Spencer, Nicole Pletts, Trui Roozeveld van der Ven, Scott
Bredin, Pascale Chandler, Celeste Bredin, Bronwyn Bruce, Lee Scott Hempson,
Andreas Chasomeris, Bernice Stott, Corne Eksteen, Deidre Maree, Pam Benporath,
Karen Bradtke, Kay Smart, Rob Domijan, Michele Silk and Mandy Kok.
Durban: Yesterday, Now
and Tomorrow opens at 18h00 to 18h30 on June 29 and runs until July 18 at
14h00 at artSPACE durban, 3 Millar Road (off Umgeni Road) close to the Waste
Centre. More information on 031 312 0793 or visit www.artspacedurban.co.za or www.artspacedurban.blogspot.com
