The works 'explore the natural and cultural with wit and sensitive observation. From the raised surface of the etched line to thoughtful use of colour, the works are emphatically physical and intricate'. Artists participating are Ryan Arenson, Willem Boshoff, Wim Botha, Gail Behrmann, Willie Cole (US), Claire Gavronsky, William Kentridge, Kim Lieberman, Alice Maher (UK), Suzanne McClelland (US), Colin Richards, Michelle Segre (US), Rose Shakinovsky, Sean Slemon, Kiki Smith (US), Nathaniel Stern and Sandile Zulu.

In 'Suburb' the artists deal with urban space in various ways. Suburbs are spaces where both the best and the worst of modern social life are visible. Suburbia plays a dominant role in people's lives - it's a place of work, commerce, worship, education or leisure. Urban critic Lewis Mumford describes suburbia as a 'multitude of uniform, unidentifiable houses, lined up inflexibly, at uniform distances, on uniform roads', yet many different stories are playing out in these seemingly uniform spaces.

The physical environment of suburbia conveys past, present and future ideas about us and the world. In Frieda Sonnekus's digital works the female city stroller and the shopper, the fláneuse, is depicted. From an aerial and geographic perspective and almost mathematically, Eric Duplan renders space in terms of site and place in his paintings; while the city as artifice and designed space is rendered in Gordon Froud's sculptures and functional objects.

Opens: February 7
Closes: March 7

The Standard Bank Gallery kicks off the year with a duo of shows sure to get you fired up. Critically-acclaimed painter Johannes Phokela's 'I like my neighbours' features a body of new work as well as recent works from numerous private and public collections.

Phokela continues his exploration of cultural and political consumption of pictures, a process mirrored in his own voracious consumption of images. Phokela draws on iconic paintings from European art history, works by Rubens, Van Dyck and Caravaggio, but just as readily on newspapers, magazines and web-based sources. His paintings marry the gravitas of art history with the apparently endless stream of media and popular culture images.

David Andrew's concurrent show, 'Misc (Recovery Room)' is a furthering of this artist's interrogation of the relationship between art-making and teaching. Drawing together a number of threads, the show speculates on how art teaching may be pursued in non-traditional forms. The central philosophical and practical question Andrew posits is 'how can the teacher perform more like the artist?', considering which particular patterns present in classrooms and schools could allow for a more 'artful' learning and teaching experience. The show explores these notions and plots a course to such a reality through a 'miscellany of drawings, notebooks, objects, photographs and installation'.

Opens: February 3
Closes: March 21

Warren Siebrits Modern and Contemporary presents 'Prints, Multiples and Photography VI' as its first exhibition this year. The show is sure to have more of Siebrits' rare gems of SA and international printmaking and photography.

'Thami Mnyele and the Medu Art Ensemble' aims to give an overview of the artistic output of this ANC-initiated cultural organisation which was founded by Dr Wally Serote in 1978. Medu was disbanded after a SADF raid left Mnyele and 11 others dead in 1985.

Of particular importance to Medu's visual art contribution is the 1982 'Symposium on Culture and Resistance', which was a major gathering of South African and international cultural activists in Gaborone, Botswana. The symposium was accompanied by an exhibition of South African exiles' work entitled 'Art towards social development', which was curated by Thami Mnyele and Gordon Mentz.

Opens: November 30
Closes: March 31
