'Horse - Multiple Views of a Singular Beast'
Various artists at Everard Read GalleryCurated by Ricky Burnett at the behest of Mark Read, this exhibition collects together, as the title suggests, various images and interpretations of the figure and notion of the horse. With some works rather conservative and others quite exciting, the show is certainly a mammoth undertaking, sprawling across the gallery’s complex of spaces in Jellicoe Street, Rosebank. The show includes Marcus Neustetter, Georgina Gratrix, Reshada Crouse, Willem Boshoff, Deborah Bell and the Handspring Puppet Company amongst its impressive list of 60 big names.

'Imfuyo'
Sipho Ndlovu at Everard Read Gallery
Ndlovu makes use of images of cows in many of his paintings. Cattle are very important in South African cultures. They are fungible assets that our ancestors used as currency before there was any formal monetary exchange system in place. Cattle used to be exchanged for goods, services and, in the principal of lobola, a young man pays the bride’s father with cattle for the privilege of her hand in marriage.

'Coloured People'
Helen Joseph at Everard Read GalleryJoseph is interested in the issue of abuse, which she depicts in her work by using the wrapped, bound and sewn-on female form to symbolize this phenomenon, especially prevalent in South Africa. Joseph examines how the strong often exert their power over the weak. She is concerned with this issue on both a personal level and on a much larger scale, considering how even countries abuse their power over other countries.
Joseph’s work is an ongoing exploration of these issues; her style juxtaposes the restful postures of nude with scratchy, pulsating strokes of brush, charcoal or pencil, suggesting the ever-present violence that lies beneath the seemingly calm surface of her subject matter.
