Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria (Javett-UP) will host a bold, multi-faceted exhibition across its galleries. Titled One and the Many, the exhibition will feature various constellations and groupings of artworks that explore the way in which artists narrate the relationship between the individual and the collective, or the self in relation to others.
The thematic arrangements will investigate new relationships and meanings between artists, artworks, genres and periods in art history. Through spatial changes and curatorial gestures, One and the Many aims to open up different possibilities for reading images and artwork.
Six contemporary artists – Stephané E Conradie, Goldendean, Ledelle Moe, Abdus Salaam, Inga Somdyala and Katlego Tlabela – were invited to have their large-scale artworks be in dialogue with three of the collections in the care of Javett-UP: the South32 Collection, the Javett Family Collection and the Bongi Dhlomo Collection.
