(Daniel Goldstein’s “Medicine
Man”)
Complementing the Through
Positive Eyes exhibition which is
running at the Durban Art Gallery,
there are additional artworks on display.
Artists include artists Daniel Goldstein (San Francisco)
whose sculptural Medicine Man is an
iconic image and will be included with mandala-like presentations of photographs;
Gordon Mundie (London) has created a “bag of shame” and an interactive stigma
installation using UV light and invisible ink and New Delhi-based curator
Parthiv Shah’s contribution is a beautiful series of hand-made books displayed
as artworks.
The team of artivists have chosen favourite images from the
project and included other works giving these images their own individualistic
spin. The exhibition culminates in a gallery transformed into a small theatre,
in which a sophisticated sound-and-light show, designed by New York theatrical
designer Stan Pressner, is enacted, entitled Banishing Stigma.
The exhibition in its current form has been curated by David
Gere (Los Angeles), Stan Pressner (New York) and Carol Brown (Durban).
The Durban Art Gallery
is situated on the second floor of the Durban City Hall,
entrance in Anton Lembede (formerly Smith) Street opposite the Playhouse. More
