Catch the last week of Mary Sibande’s exhibition at Gallery MOMO.
This show is a collection of fantasies and imagined narratives centering round the character Sophie, a maid. Sibande is not looking at the negatives of being a domestic worker, but rather the humanity and commonalities of people despite the boxes we find ourselves in. The modern fabric is moulded into many forms that are combined with Victorian references, making the pieces completely foreign and at the same time Sophie’s own. By subverting the simple maids’ uniform in the creation of Sophie’s hybrid dress she/it has become the canvas for storytelling.
The exhibition runs until 3 August 2009.

Graham’s Gallery annual historical exhibition of important South African art brings together a collection of artworks which are as diverse, compelling and provocative as the artists who produced them and the country with which they are associated. As with previous years, the works in the exhibition are extremely varied in terms of authorship, subject matter, style and historical period, but they share two important characteristics: first, they have all been produced by South African artists (or artists whose mature work is associated predominantly with South Africa), who, by virtue of the ways in which they encapsulate and transcribe the South African experience, can be considered canonical in the history of South African modern and postmodern art. Second, in terms of their quality and their connection to the artists’ oeuvres, the individual works are of particular interest both to the serious student and the dedicated collector of twentieth century South African art.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 16 July 2009 to 16 September 2009.
