Invitation: Bending Mediums with Unathi Mkonto

June 5 @ 17:30 – 19:30

Journey into Bending Mediums with Unathi Mkhonto during a preview of the artist’s solo exhibition If Joburg had a beach, who would go?

Working primarily with fine grained beechwood, Mkonto constructs a series of repeated, slanted and
minimal forms that operate collectively rather than as discrete objects. Installed in relation to one another,
these elements create a continuous visual field – an environment that invites viewers to move through
and read the space as a one unfolding structure. The works distill the artist’s ongoing engagement with
architecture into its most reduced components, focusing on the generative relationship between point, line
and plane.

Event details

The Anglo American art and object collection is a combination of art collected over several decades through four different companies: Anglo American, de Beers Group, Anglo American Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore.

The collection comprises of 3600 works, with around 1000 pieces in the collection on display at the newly commissioned Rosebank offices. Although vast, the collection experienced an acquisition hiatus from the early 2000s until 2021 creating a significant gap in the collection’s representation of contemporary art. The collection now has a dedicated curator, Megan Scott, tasked with its cataloguing and digitisation, opening an exciting new chapter which will see the gradual procurement of significant works that reflect our contemporary South African and African art world.
