Open Books
06 July – 31 August 2011
iArt Gallery 71 Loop Street
iArt Gallery takes great pleasure in presenting Open Books, a group exhibition of new and existing work by South African artists that directly engages with the medium of books. This engagement manifests itself in many ways within the works. In some cases the form of the book is faithfully preserved, in others it is reinterpreted completely. What remains consistent is that the physical book object perseveres as a meaningful catalyst for artistic production.
Open Books aims to provide a forum for these works, and in conjunction to reflect on the endearing relationship between the book object and its inspiration to South African artists.
Participating Artists:
Audrey Anderson, Willem Boshoff, Tom Cullberg, Keith Dietrich, Stephan Erasmus, Liza Grobler, Sandra Hanekom, Marlise Keith, Norman O’Flynn, Chad Rossouw, Fabian Saptouw, Mark Splendid, Colijn Strydom, Heléne van Aswegen, Jan van der Merwe, Barbara Wildenboer.
