David Lurie: Offside: Cape Town 2010

David Lurie shows 'Offside: Cape Town 2010' in the main gallery, a photographic exhibition that focusses on the periphery of the Soccer World Cup in CapeTown, and aims to deconstruct and explore some of the inherent ironies and contradictions of an event that has dome little to address or alleviate the countries burden of poverty, inequality and the threat of xenophobic violence.

Mzimkhulu Manyisane: Ordinary People

In Mzimkhulu Manyisane's first exhibition at the AVA he presents a collection of paintings in the Artstrip. Manyisane's interest in capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary, his keen colour sense and obsessive mark making bring a dynamic expressionistic stance to the social realism of his subject matter. Urbanization, migration and community are negotiated with rhythm and sensitivity.
