In Studio with Misheck Masamvu

February 13 @ 02:45 pm – 5:00 pm

Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Misheck Masamvu’s practice reflects on history while

searching for a way of being in the world. Over the past five weeks, the Mutare-based artist, with Mutare

being a city in Zimbabwe, has been in residence in Johannesburg at the invitation of Goodman Gallery,

using the city as a site of observation, response, and encounter.

 

Members are invited to engage with the outcomes of this period, offering an intimate glimpse into

Masamvu’s studio practice and the ways his visual language shifts across place, time, and context. This

gathering brings a fragment of his Mutare studio into Johannesburg, opening a space for reflection on

process, presence, and transformation.

 

Please note: This invitation includes a plus one. Kindly RSVP at your earliest convenience, as space is

limited.

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.
