- Any Given Sunday – extended to 27 February 2022
The anonymous and random public artistic interventions that comprised Any Given Sunday – which originally took place in the city of Cape Town and its townships from 15 May – 24 July 2016— were intended to reflect on the social, economic and political tensions of Cape Town, set against its histories and relevant sites. This covert approach underscored the central intention of the series: as a gentle and submerged way of foregrounding contested notions of visibility and acceptance in the city’s racially segregated spaces.
The work of participating visual artists – Buhlebezwe Siwani, Zanele Muholi, Gerald Machona, Sethembile Msezane, Burning Museum, Hasan and Husain Essop, poet Koleka Putuma and veteran musician Madosini—all centered, in various ways, on questions of power and prejudice: structural, institutional and personal.

- The Johannesburg Station Panels
Artist JH Pierneef’s most acclaimed public commission was completed between 1929 and 1932 The Johannesburg Station Panels have been characterised as the epitome of the South African landscape genre. Since 2002 the complete set of thirty two panels – twenty eight landscape and four tree scenes, is on long term loan from the TRANSNET Foundation to the Rupert Art Foundation and have also been exhibited in the Jan Rupert Centre in Graaff-Reinet.
- IN-MOTION
Brought together in one space, a selection of international artists part of the Huberte Goote Collection, during the exhibition a rotation of other artists and artworks will also be introduced.
