Keiskamma Guernica by Keiskamma Art Project 3.5 x 1.5m embroidery
The A.R.T. Show, an exhibition, looks at the current HIV/AIDS situation where theoretically there is wide-spread availability of treatment. How is this ‘reality’ affecting the lives of individuals and the social structure of our society? This exhibition represents a variety of artworks examining both the triumphs and trials of this new phase in the AIDS epidemic.
The exhibition features a range of artists including:
William Kentridge (SA), Andrew Verster (SA), Sara Anjargolian (Armenia), Daniel Goldstein (USA) and Gideon Mendel (UK). Several collectives have also been commissioned to make work for the show. These include the Keiskamma Art Project, the Woza Moya collective and the Siyazama Project. Xavier Clarisse, a Durban based designer, is constructing original display material.
