Gallery MOMO has opened in an eponymous gallery space in Buitengrach Street, Cape Town.
Since opening in Parktown North in 2003, Gallery MOMO has established itself as one of Johannesburg’s leading galleries, housing an innovative roster of unique and stimulating contemporary artists.
While maintaining a strong presence at this year’s Cape Town Art Fair, the new gallery marks the first time that Gallery MOMO will have a dedicated space in the Mother City; presenting exciting new opportunities to introduce their bold and challenging artists to the Cape Town art scene.
Of the possibilities offered by the new space, Gallery MOMO owner, Monna Mokoena notes that:
Our presence in Cape Town affords us the opportunity to present significant exhibitions which cross-pollinate between contemporary and modern art. The large rooms allow for our artists to fully realise their work uninhibited by constraints of space, especially with regards to installations. Equally important is the state of the art projector room, which will be dedicated to optimally showcase video art.
Gallery MOMO Cape Town opened on Thursday 28 May 2015 at 6pm with a group exhibition.
A solo exhibition of work by Blessing Ngobeni , winner of the Reinhold Cassirer art award in 2012, is due to open mid June 2015. He was named one of the top 200 young South Africans to look out for by the Mail & Guardian.
