Michael Stevenson Gallery's 13th Annual Summer Exhibition

This top Cape Town gallery in Woodstock will be showcasing an array of fascinating works over the 2008/2009 summer season

The exhibition will focus on 10 projects, some by well-known gallery artists – Nicholas Hlobo, Deborah Poynton, Nandipha Mntambo, Zanele Muholi, Youssef Nabil, Odili Donald Odita and David Goldblatt – and others by artists showing with the gallery for the first time: Paul Edmunds, Andrew Putter and Daniel Naudé.

Nicholas Hlobo’s large-scale sculpture, Umphanda ongazaliyo, the focal point of his acclaimed solo show for the Momentum series at the ICA in Boston, will be installed in the gallery.

Paul Edmunds will show new works that are part of a larger series to be exhibited at the gallery in late 2009.

Andrew Putter, in a new series of photographs, continues to explore the term ‘Hottentots Holland', which was the starting point for his Spier Contemporary award-winning video installation Secretly I Will Love You More.

Daniel Naudé, a recent graduate of Stellenbosch University, will show haunting portraits of the Africanis dog.

A large new painting by Deborah Poynton will be shown prior to her museum shows in Atlanta and Savannah early next year.

Nandipha Mntambo will exhibit a major new sculptural installation. A group of self-portraits by Youssef Nabil will be exhibited to accompany the release of his major monograph, published by Hatje Cantz.

As always, a selection of quirky and irreverent ceramics by Hylton Nel will be exhibited concurrently.

This exhibition concludes a successful year for the Michael Stevenson Gallery, which moved to its new space in Woodstock in May.

The year has seen this renowned Cape Town gallery take part in six international art fairs – Arco in Madrid, the Armory Show in New York, Joburg Art Fair, the Volta Show in Basel, Art Forum in Berlin, and Paris Photo – and once again our booth at the Armory was singled out as a highlight by the New York Times.
