Four exhibitions at The AVA

A visual arts gallery hosting four exceptional artists

The AVA in partnership with Spier invites you to the opening of four exhibitions from 10th May until 16th June 2011 in Church Street, Cape Town.

Mary Visser: Along These City Streets’ exhibition takes place in the Main Gallery and will be opened by Andrew Boraine, Chief Executive of the Cape Town Partnership. With this new series of paintings, Visser reflects on the architecture of Cape Town's city centre as a silent witness to the lives that pass through its streets. Through the captured glimpses of blocks of flats, shop windows, car salesrooms, tarmac and traffic, Visser explores themes of security, heritage and belonging.
 
Damien Schumann: Borderline captures the daily life where two worlds meet; on the border between the United States of America and Mexico. The differences are so extreme that the region has become its own entity.
 
Shakes Tembani: Unqulo is a Xhosa word meaning 'worship'. With these large paintings, Tembani honours the women in the Christian community who embody the strong moral qualities of kindness and humanity.
 
Francis Burger and Christian Nerf: And Not But - And Not But is an optimistic glossarium of ideas, objects, shapes and feelings - part teaching machine, part epiphanic fold. Loosely arranged on a space-time line around the concept of unbecoming, as well as those of congruence, conflation, conversation and cooperation, this series of experiments attempts a concomitant exposure of the ridge and the crease.
