'Kind of Blue'

Sam Nhlengethwa at Goodman Gallery

This exhibition celebrates the recent 50th anniversary of jazz legend Miles Davis's iconic 1959 album 'Kind of Blue'. Jazz pundits recognise this album for changing the face of jazz in the 20th century, and, for Nhlengethwa, the album greatly influenced the local jazz culture which has played such an important role in his work. For decades jazz imagery has featured in Nhelngethwa's work, and from now onwards, the artist says, he will move away from jazz themes in search of new terrain.

Don't miss the opening of 'Kind of Blue' on August 26 at 6pm.

Since its inception in 1984, the Cairo Biennale has been considered one of the most important cultural events in the Middle East. Conceived and initially designed to explore contemporary art in the Arab world, the concepts of the successive artistic directors expanded the interest to the global international arena. The biennale is produced by the fine arts sector of the Egyptian ministry of culture, and the exhibition is spread over the entirety of all public spaces managed by the sector.
