Kendell Geers, 2013

Overview

This exhibition examines the artistic trajectory of Kendell Geers across two distinct decades, from 1988 to 2012. The initial political period, spanning 1988 to 2000, saw the white South African artist confront the moral and ethical complexities of apartheid. Geers developed a distinctive visual language, employing provocation, humor, and violence through found materials like barbed wire and glass shards. He critically engaged with historical events and societal structures, questioning the individual's relationship with the collective.
