41

Stilled Lives is an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Karin Preller. As in previous exhibitions, the interaction between painting and photography remains pivotal to Preller’s work. Her paintings reference photographically frozen moments which, by the obvious time expended on their laboured surfaces, uncover layers of nostalgia, amnesia, trauma and loss. The painted surface itself, ambiguously ‘caught between’ painted and photographic layers, is as much the subject matter of Preller’s work as the chosen iconography.

WE ALL SEE (IN) THE DARK Nthabiseng Mokoena 10h00 - 18h00 | FREE

Art can be a powerful way of seeing things more clearly, but in order to see more clearly, we must focus on the darkness of things, whether it is the darkness in humour, the darkness in our society, the darkness in our imaginations, or the darkness in ourselves. Understanding what is grotesque and what is sinister about ourselves and the world that we experience around is a crucial way of being
