 MOVEMENT / MOMENT20 March - 20 May 2012Casa Labia Cultural Centre in association with João Ferreira launches an exhibition programme focusing on connoisseurship and collector motivation. The current exhibition draws on the works of two well-known South African artists, Doreen Southwood and Mark Hipper. Doreen's sculptural installation 'The Dancer', of four hand-painted bronze figurines, captures four stages of dance found in one moment. They appear light and weightless in the cycle of movement on display. Mark Hipper's 'after-images' series is inspired by a teaching manual for Physical Education. Through use of an etiolated monochromatic palette he created paintings describing movements suspended in a moment of timelessness. Please click on the image for further information. |

Wild WithinWednesday 27th July – Sunday 4th September 2011 For the month of August, Casa Labia will be hosting a special exhibition in our Conference Room called “Wild Within”. A collection of photographs by Liz Hardman, Wild Within is a photo essay recorded over a two year period showing episodes of baboon life. The majority were taken in the Miller’s Point area and portray the many challenges faced by these remarkable and complex primates. In contrast to the scenes of baboons at play or foraging for natural foods, are frames of car raiding and chaos as a result of negative human interaction. Through this exhibition the photographer hopes to engender an appreciation of these wild creatures as an integral part of our natural heritage. Also on exhibit are winning pictures of the local schools art competition sponsored by the photographer. |
