Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a vivid red knitted form that appears to be a curled-up human figure. The bold, monochromatic color and the irregular, textured surface created by the intricate knitting technique give the piece a striking, tactile quality. The subject matter, a curled-up human body, suggests a sense of vulnerability, discomfort, or introspection. The artist's intention seems to be exploring themes of the human condition and the interplay between the physical and psychological aspects of the human experience. This thought-provoking sculpture invites the viewer to contemplate the complex emotions and experiences represented through the creative use of textiles and form. ...

Lerato Shadi’s work challenges common assumptions to critique Western notions of history and make visible that which is invisible or overlooked. Working across video, performance and installation, and often employing repetitive processes, she argues the importance of centering - not just including - the marginalised body as a main figure of narrative experience. By placing herself at the forefront of her work, Shadi deals with the politics of cultural erasure and structural exclusion. She states: “It serves to challenge myself, and hopefully my audience as well, in how I/we are complicit in the violence of historical erasure by not fighting for a more inclusive and accurate historical narrative. I realised that – by just blindly or lazily accepting an inaccurate history – I would be sanctioning the problematic dominant narrative with my own inactivity.” ...

Cape Town

Based in a 360 sqm gallery in Woodstock, Cape Town, blank was founded by Jonathan Garnham as a project space in 2005 and transitioned into a commercial gallery during 2012. The gallery represents emerging and increasingly established artists from the region in a critically engaged programme that emphasises contemporaneity, with a focus on concept and abstraction in the African context. With an exhibition programme that has a reputation for shaping the discourse around contemporary art in South(ern) Africa, and participation in prominent local and international art fairs, we seek to place our artists' work in a wide range of private and institutional collections. In addition, blank continues to promote the visual arts in our community through ongoing projects that support the sector. ...
