Voices at the Goodman Gallery in Woodstock

Join Sue Williamson for her first solo art exhibition in Cape Town in years…

The Goodman Gallery in the heart of Woodstock is proud to present Sue Williamson.

Sue Williamson has been a key figure on the South African art scene since the early 1980s when she produced A Few South Africans, a groundbreaking series of portrait prints featuring women in the struggle against apartheid.
 
Important selected work from the past three decades will be shown alongside her latest two series – Other Voices, Other Cities - an international series of projects documented in photographs - and The Diaries of Lady Anne B.  Also on view will be Last Supper at Manley Villa, a portfolio of black and white photographs taken in the home of one family in the final days of District Six in 1981. 

The theme running through all of these rather different works is that of personal history, and in many cases, the exact words people use to express themselves and to describe their situations. 

Extending her attention beyond South Africa, Williamson’s Other Voices, Other Cities examines what it means in this age of globalization, to live in a particular place. Why do the residents of a city choose to live there, and if there was one message that would express the essence of that city, what would it be?

Williamson’s work forms part of almost every museum collection in South Africa and is also included in many international art institutions and private collections. She was recently honoured with the Rockefeller Foundation Creative Arts Fellowship for 2011, and will take up her three-month residency at the Bellagio Center in Italy.

Please Note that the exhibition opening will take place on Saturday 19 February 2011 at 12:00

A public walkabout with the artist will take place on Saturday 26 February 2011 at 11h00
