'1 mile squared'
Lee Griffiths, Kyla Davis, Anthea Moys and Sandra Hall at Johannesburg Art GalleryAt the best of times, the Johannesburg Art Gallery is barely a blip on the gallery-hopper’s radar, a place to which one ventures only in support of an opening of a big name in the art world or a friend. These openings are packed to the rafters. The drudges serving canapés don’t quite make it through the kitchen door before they are descended upon by a pack of hungry culture vultures. However, the rest of the time, and for less important openings, the gallery’s halls tend to gape. After school hours and on weekends, children who live nearby, who have parents working at the gallery or who are just passing through (the single advantage of the gallery’s location is its proximity to the Noord Street taxi rank and market) sometimes stop in at the gallery and play in the foyer or downstairs. At other times, schools might be bussed in (again, only for important shows). But otherwise what happens in the JAG seems to stay there.
