Event information
Investec Cape Town Art Fair and the Mount Nelson Hotel, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town host their second exhibition collaboration launch at the Hotel this month and is thereafter open to the public until the end of August.
This is part of an ongoing partnership that celebrated its beginning a week prior to the 10th edition of Investec Cape Town Art Fair, in February. The inaugural exhibition was curated by Amogelang Maledu, titled "Today, I wish to talk to your dreams." With its exploration of visions and nightmares, the exhibition made salient observations about the historical moment.
The second exhibition again celebrates the synergy between these landmark spaces. Both are intrinsic to Cape Town’s cultural calendar - the iconic Pink Lady, as the Mount Nelson Hotel is affectionately known due to her signature pink exterior, at the heart of the city and the art fair, providing an ongoing showcase for the country’s creative achievements - bringing history, heritage, and thought-provoking artwork into one shared moment.
Titled "An Endless Night", the new exhibition is curated by Curator Anelisa Mangcu.
The art pieces to be exhibited make up an extraordinary collection, whose juxtapositions comment on geographic, gender and historical specificities of time. These include sculptor and conceptualist Mary Sibande, photographer and multimedia stylist Trevor Stuurman, social realist painter Mongezi Gum, multidisciplinary artist Kimathi Mafafo as well as other artists to be announced.
