On the Arts Round Up, Lizelle & Frank Kilbourn walk us through Welgemeend Art Month, highlighting what to expect for the rest of August at Welgemeend Manor House in central Cape Town.
Listen to the Arts Round Up on Fine Music Radio FMR 101.3fm on Fridays at 17h30
Frank tells us that this is the 11 edition of the Welgemeend Art Month with the theme (Un)known | (On)bekend. The idea is to share works dealing with a variety of issues and matters. Artists are by nature curious people, dealing with the way we look at things. The present works are not so well known – either forgotten or by new artists and new media.
Lizelle mentions the programme of events still to come, starting with the walkabout by Frank tomorrow, Saturday 17th September. But as the number of seats are limited, she asks that you book by checking into the website or call 079 227 4461.
The highlights of the exhibition? Frank explains that its a personal opportunity to see the works in a different way. There are just over 100 works by 86 artists. There are some early works that might have been forgotten, artists looking at different themes and all of the works are re-contextulaised as they speak to each other in this extensive exhibition. For him there are 106 highlights.
Lizelle enjoys being surrounded by the art and mentions the talk that she will be giving on the Tuesday 20th at 17:30, sharing her thoughts about the 2024 Venice Biennale.
Head to Welgemeend Manor House and immerse yourself in this wonderful collection in a vey special setting!
