'If A Tree': Archive and discussion programme

Various Artists at Parking Gallery

For the month of July, the Parking Gallery will host an archive and discussion programme running alongside the exhibition If A Tree…, opening on the 5th of July, 2012 at Stevenson Johannesburg. The exhibition sets out to investigate the ripple effects and possible trajectories of the 2nd Johannesburg Biennial (1997), and forms part of Stevenson’s Trade Routes Project.

To launch the events and archival interventions taking place at the Parking Gallery, Antonis Pittas, a visiting artist included in the exhibition, will be giving a talk at:

18.30 on Wednesday 4th July at the VANSA premises.

In his work, Antonis Pittas creates what he calls ‘context-sensitive spatial installations’. These installations, incorporating graphite drawings and sculptural objects, converse with architecture, art-historical references, and the performativity engendered by certain spaces. Time spent relating to a particular site is integral to the artist’s work which is intended to engage in the socio-political energies of a given context.

05 July - 04 August
