'NEWWORK14'

Wits Art Museum, in partnership with the Wits School of Arts, is proud to announce the exhibition 'NEWWORK14'.

This final exhibition features a selection of dynamic and innovative works by the graduating artists of the Division of Visual Arts (DIVA) at the Wits School of Arts (WSOA).  This exhibition is an annual showcase and is in many instances the initial public debut of a new generation of young artists. With 33 exhibiting artists, NEWWORK14 spans a diverse range of media, from performance, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture to multimedia installation and interactive events.

'NEWWORK14' is curated collaboratively by the graduates themselves – drawing together a range of critical and material interests. Often informed by social realities in Johannesburg, South Africa, and beyond, the works offer varied reflections and new imaginings. As the culmination of a four-year process of learning, exchange and experimentation NEWWORK14 is an important indicator of emerging possibilities within the contemporary South African arts industry.
