For one night only: pinky promises and human cocoons

It’s time again for arguably the biggest visual art event in Grahamstown – besides the National Arts Festival – the annual Rhodes Fine Art Graduate Show. Now in its fourth year, the Graduate Show takes the form of a walkabout through the Rhodes Bachelor of Fine Art students’ final-year exhibitions.

It’s time again for arguably the biggest visual art event in Grahamstown – besides the National Arts Festival – the annual Rhodes Fine Art Graduate Show. Now in its fourth year, the Graduate Show takes the form of a walkabout through the Rhodes Bachelor of Fine Art students’ final-year exhibitions.

In exhibiting all the students’ works in their various venues, the integrity and individualism of the original submissions are maintained and all are invited to view this in a number of exhibition sites and exciting installation spaces in Grahamstown.

Each year the exhibition represents the culmination of four years of focused study in the visual arts and reflects the students’ growth of individual vision and often rigorous self-reflexive interrogation. They have sought and found appropriate contemporary creative means to express diverse concepts and ideas, often in a strong and unique personal vocabulary.

The artworks cover a variety of artistic mediums including photography, painting, sculpture, installation, video, performance, printmaking and interactive media. Thematic interests and conceptual approaches are equally diverse but some common threads between the varying exhibition narratives include abjection, interpersonal relationships, portraiture, memory, man’s best friend, identity politics, waiting, watching and alienation.

The fourth-year students and their exhibition titles for 2012 are (in the order in which the work can be viewed):

Frances Spangenberg, The Finish Line; Kathleen Sawyer, Somata; Annchen Naude, Pinky Promise; Stacey Doman, Remains; Kerryn Chloe Sky Chaia Ponter, Awaiting Harlen; Charlton Bryce Reimers, Infighting; Jaime Waddington, Countenance; Nina Lieska Grindlay, Jason And Andrea; Luke Calder, Everybody Loves You; Lindi Lombard, Transit; Justine Watkins, The Sleepers; Sherilee Eborall, Personal Growth; Francois Knoetze, Oikos: An Odyssey; Taryn King, Watchmen; Catherine Ash, Shard; Nena Maree, Heel; Khula Khalipha Jiji, Blemish; Lauren Fletcher, Infected and Kesayne Reed, Human Cocoon.

This year’s exhibition event will take place for one night only, next Friday, 9 November, and will commence at the Art School Gallery in Somerset Street at 5.30pm before moving on to visit exhibition venues nearby
