The exhibition at 36 Buitenkant Street features works by Thabiso Sekgala, Nolan Dennis, George Hallet, Gerda Scheepers, Moshekwa Langa and Bronwyn Katz.
Catalysed by George Hallett's diptych Tongue (1976), a series of conversations and associations results in the selection of works. These range in theme and tone: from diaspora, exile, lassitude and resignation, to archipelagic or clustered networks of conserved ordinariness and joy. The classic South African novel, Between Two Worlds, published in 1979 by Miriam Thlali as Muriel at the Metropolitan, sits alongside the framed pieces.
