I WAS HER AND SHE WAS ME AND THOSE

WE MIGHT BECOME     KITSO LYNN LELLIOTT

02.09 – 14.10.2017

/

ROOM is pleased to announce the solo presentation of a multimedia body of work by Kitso Lynn Lelliott, titled I was her and she was me and those we might become.

In the presentation, the artist elaborates on her interrogation of the philosophical underpinnings and ontological construct of race that emerged during the European Imperial era, which in turn have resulted in the production of an ”Othering” using hegemonic colonial languages. Her research further delves into the perpetuation of idea of “racially marked beings” with the associated violent omissions, erasure and deletion of knowledges carried in diverse languages.

The exhibition will also

form part of JOBURG ART WEEK

For the 10th edition of the FNB Joburg Art Fair, ROOM Gallery & Projects proudly presents works from young career artists whose practice uses a wide range of contemporary mediums.

Nelmarie Du Preez’s works further elaborate on her practice, which straddles between the fields of performance, photography, video and computational arts. Included are selected photographs by Mbali Mdluli and Mack Magagane, as well as intricate automated and sculptural objects, video work and prints by Audrey Salmon negotiating ideas of the packaging of labour, entertainment and ideas of leisure. Sikhumbuzo Makandula’s

presentation features works from the series UBUZWE in which the artist investigates his interest in space and architecture (monumental sites) and how these coalesce in the formation of memory, identity and belonging.
