'frequency, lumens, place'

Dean Henning and Vaughn Sadie at Durban Art Gallery

'Our perception of space depends as much on what we hear as on what we see'. (Max Neuhaus)

This collaborative sound (Dean Henning) and light (Vaughn Sadie) installation aims to create a space using artificial light and sound generated in the gallery that relies on interaction with the audience. The initial sound and quantity of light are determined by mathematical formulas based on the volume (length x breadth x height = cubic meters) and floor space ((length x breadth = square meters) respectively. The installation consists of several components: circuit bending, pulse generators, and light objects. 

It is these components, and the intervention of the audience, that allows the space to be in constant flux. The initial state of the space changes and responds to the movement of the audience who continually alter the composition of the room.

'Conflicting Contexts'

Various Artists at Durban Art Gallery

This exhibition, curated by Vaughn Sadie, explores the conflicts inherent within the collection of the Durban Art Gallery. In its 119 years of existence as a public institution, the gallery has witnessed and recorded the ideological and political shifts that have shaped our country and the city of Durban. Using key works from the gallery's Victorian collection as its departure point, 'Conflicting Contexts' juxtaposes the prevailing themes of the period against more contemporary depictions of similar themes. The placement of the works in relation to each other reflects aspects of social history and the universal nature of recurring themes.
