'Featuring Simplicity as an Irrational Fear'

Donna Kukama, Nastio Mosquito and Nathalie Bikoro at Stevenson in Cape Town

Curated by Lerato Bereng, 'Featuring Simplicity as an Irrational Fear' explores the concept of simplicity and its impact on the direction of contemporary South African art discourse. Bereng takes as her starting point the idea that simplicity, often considered in both art production and art criticism as a failing, can be a more than one dimensional. Featuring the performance-based work of Nathalie Bikoro, Donna Kukama and Nástio Mosquito, Bereng draws on the absence of the performer and the space between event and its representation to draw out the complexity inherent in works that appears visually and conceptually succinct at first glance.
