Metamorphic Material: Anatsui, Adams, Marx
Calligraphy, maps, roots, mazes, tapestries—in their work, El Anatsui from Ghana and Igshaan Adams and Gerhard Marx, both from South Africa, explore arcane, semi-abstract languages of sign and code. Employing immersive tactics of collapsibility and fluidity of form, they interrogate the primacy of omniscient, objective, or imperial perspective.

Dressed to thrill: The Victorian postmodern and counter-archival imaginings in the work of Mary Sibande
Hyper-real blackness and the embodied poetics of the sublime Her eyes are closed, as if in a trance or a grown-up game of blind-man's bluff. Her arms are stretched out with the tentativeness of someone lost in the dark, but it is a plane of apparently unmitigated whiteness that she is navigating--blinding whiteness all about her, as crisp, clean and untainted as her headscarf and apron.
