INTRODUCTION:
Nuweland Gallery is delighted to announce news of its summer-fall project, a group exhibition curated by South African artist and curator Morné Visagie.
Between Strangers brings together new work by an extensive roster of emerging and established artists at Nuweland’s physical space in Oosterzee-Buren. The 22 artists selected by Nuweland and Visagie are principally based in The Netherlands and South Africa, although the list includes artists born in Germany, Mexico, Namibia, South Korea, United States and Zimbabwe.
Between Strangers honours longstanding conversations between the invited artists, Nuweland and Visagie. Predating the outbreak of a global pandemic, these conversations inspired numerous plans to collaborate and/or show work in Europe that were either cancelled or postponed due to the major health crisis of 2020.
“The exhibition is a showcase of diverse ideas, attitudes and materialities in contemporary practice,” says Visagie, who in 2019 held a solo exhibition of his work at Nuweland. “It includes striking examples of contemporary printmaking, painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textile and installation. The exhibition has both physical and virtual components. Alongside the curated showcase of physical work in Oosterzee-Buren, Between Strangers includes dynamic online content documenting various conversations privately engaged in between the invited artists.”
Between Strangers aims to highlight an important aspect of creativity that is not always apparent in the display of art objects, the sometimes casual, occasionally intimate, always insightful dialogues that artists – strangers or not – have among each other. Initiated at the request of Visagie, these conversations – held by telephone, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, video chat and other means – involved small groupings of artists discussing subjects as diverse as time, colour, nostalgia, representation, materiality, geography and taboo.
