FOLLOWING months of refurbishment, the Durban Art Gallery re-opened to the public on 11 December, with a new exhibition entitled Beyond Binaries.
Beyond Binaries is a curated exhibition featuring work by 26 artists. The exhibition aims to open up discussion on the current climate of polarization and intolerance, and the increasing trend towards fixed, essentialised identities.
The exhibition features works with video, photography, paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, wire and mixed media. South African born artists are complemented by their peers born in African countries as well as artists born in India, China and Germany. The exhibition has been curated by Qala!, a fledgling curatorial collective comprising Mario Pissarra, Robin Moodley and Russel Hlongwane, three Durban-born cultural workers.
The exhibition runs until 19 February.
DAG is open seven days a week, Monday to Saturday, from 8.30am until 3.45pm, and Sundays from 11am until 3.45pm. Entry is free.
