Exhibit re-imagines stereotypes
Artists re-imagine the Jungian feminine and masculine archetypes in a joint exhibition at artSPACE Durban.
DURBAN artists Swany and Bernice Stott re-imagine the Jungian feminine and masculine archetypes in a joint exhibition, Anima-Animus, which opens at the artSPACE Durban on 25 May and runs until 13 June.
Inspired by the art of Dorothy Iannone the artists explore gender and soul and give form to archaic ideas derived from the collective fantasies, dreams, deliria and delusions.
Bernice Stott’s art-making reflects her intrigue with the female body in contemporary South Africa. She has worked across disciplines in the media of painting, photography, sculpture, installation and performance art. Her associated activities have included curatorship of exhibitions and community art projects.
Swany is a Durban-based artist who, while always retaining the characteristics of performance art in his pieces, works across disciplines. He uses embroidery and stitching to deconstruct certain societal perceptions.
artSPACE durban is at 3 Millar Road, Durban. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, and Saturday and public holidays from 9am to 2pm. Contact 031 312 0793.
