A Good Time, a group exhibition curated by Michaela Limberis, opens at Aspire Art this First Thursday 6 October at 6pm.
A Good Time celebrates the early careers of a group of local artists over the past decade. The exhibition is a conversation of current, formative, and exploratory works, reflecting parallel and intersecting journeys over time. This assembly of works questions the methods by which value is commonly determined and what factors may come to constitute a ‘good time’ in an artist’s career.
The title also draws attention to the social element often essential to exhibitions and engagements with art, particularly following the pandemic-induced dominance of virtual experiences.
Featured artists: Rory Emmett, Alice Gauntlett, Bonolo Kavula, Sepideh Mehraban, Heinrich Minnie, Lena Dewaegenaere, Siwa Mgoboza, Nobukho Nqaba, Gaelen Pinnock, Jake Singer, Sitaara Stodel.
A digital catalogue will be launched soon.
