For this year’s winter show, in which blank traditionally uses its platform to highlight the practices of emerging artists and curators, two local project spaces, Fede and Under, have been invited to occupy the gallery.
_
Fullhouse consists of 1) a library of artworks sampled from practitioners that Fede and Under have worked with over the last year, 2) an empty room in which artworks will be continuously reconfigured and curatorial enquiries will occur.
The following artists are included in the library:
Bella Knemeyer | Ben Orkin | Callan Grecia | Christian Nerf | Ciara Dunsby | David Brits | Dom Pretorius | Douglas Gimberg | Ed Young | Emily Clark | Gaelen Pinnock | Githan Coopoo | Inga Somdyala |Jared GInsburg | Jean-Marie Malan | Jody Brand | Kamyar Bineshtarigh | Lungiswa Gqunta | Luyanda Zindela | Mankebe Seakgoe | Manyaku Mashilo | Marsi van de Heuvel | Matthew Michael | Mercy Thokozane Minah | Micha Serraf | Nabeeha Mohamed | Nazeer Jappie | Nolan Oswald Dennis | Phillip Newman | Reef Sithole | Sepideh Mehraban | Sitaara Stodel | Thando Phenyane | Tom Cullberg | Tony Gum | Tyra Naidoo | Vusumzi Nkomo | Water Dixon | Xhanti Zwelendaba | Yonela Makoba | Zander Blom
_Fede Arthouse is an artist-run nomadic gallery with a research-based practice. Run by a collective whose practices span disciplines of fine art, design and architecture, Fede Arthouse explores the ways that space-making fulfills, limits and influences art consumption and audience engagement.
Under Projects is a project space for noncommercial exhibitions and exercises co-founded by Brett Seiler, Guy Simpson, Luca Evans, and Mitchell Gilbert Messina.
