Cape Town’s Barnard Gallery presents nano-, an exhibition featuring over 50 artists that’s a celebration of all things compact.
The concept behind the exhibition is to explore and embrace the notion of “small” with each artwork being only 40cm x 40 cm in size.
According to the Barnard Gallery, “Smaller works immediately require and create a greater intimacy with the viewer, compelling us to come closer, look closer, stay longer. While large, expansive works keep us at a distance, smaller works activate interiority and introspection.”
Artists include Alexia Vogel, Angela Briggs, Anton Karstel, Asha Zero, Ashley Walters, Barbara Wildenboer, Benedict Buckle, Cathy Layzell, Dan Halter, Daniel Maggs, Dominique Edwards, Elsabe Milandri, Gabrielle Raaff, Georgina Gratrix, Gina Heyer, Gitte Möller, Hanien Conradie, Hanlie Laakman, Hugh Byrne, Jaco van Schalkwyk, James de Knoop, Jan-Henri Booyens, Janet Mbirimi, Jean Brundrit, Julia Pepler, Katherine Bull, Kerry Chaloner, Katherine Spindler, Kilmany-Jo Liversage, Kirsten Lilford, Lauren Palte, Lyndi Sales, Maja Maljevic, Mariette Kotze, Marlise Keith, Marna Hattingh, Mia Chaplin, MJ Lourens, Natasha Norman, Ndikhumbule Ngqinambi, Rose Mudge, Ryan Hewett, Sanell Aggenbach, Sarah Biggs, Stephan Erasmus, Stephen Inggs, Sue Greeff, Svea Josephy, Tanya Poole, Vanessa Cowling and Virginia MacKenny.
nano- runs until 16 August 2016. The Barnard Gallery is open Monday to Friday from 9am – 5pm and is situated at 55 Main Street, Newlands, Cape Town. For more information about the exhibition, check out our diary listing or visit barnardgallery.com.
