The
KZNSA Gallery will host the exhibition Sandman
by Natalie Moore, opening on February 27 at 17h30 for 18h00.
Sandman was Moore’s first solo exhibition, held at
the Absa Gallery as part of her prize for winning the Gerard Sekoto Award as
part of the 2015 Absa L’Atelier.
The Absa
L’Atelier is an annual art competition hosted by Absa and SANAVA (South African
National Association for the Visual Arts) focused on young artists aged 21 to
35. Moore, a photographer and mixed media artist, won the Gerard Sekoto Award
for her photographic triptych Once Upon A
Time Jozi.
Her
prize was part-sponsored by the Alliance Française and the French Institute in
South Africa, and included a three-month residency at the Cite Internationale
des Arts in Paris.
In this
exhibition, Natalie Moore explores the classic fairytale through the lens of a
dreamscape. Sandman is a narrative
akin to one’s dreams, where the storyline may seem fragmented and unstructured
to the conscious mind, but natural to the fabric of a dream and the
subconscious. This fairytale dreamland consists of 28 photographic prints and
mixed media pieces comprising oil paint on photographic prints.
There
will be a walkabout with Natalie Moore on February 28 from 12h00 at the KZNSA
Gallery.
Sandman runs from February 27 to March 18, 2018. The
KZNSA Gallery is situated at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, in Durban. More
