Galerie Guido W. Baudach is currently hosting a group exhibition titled, "Blank". The exhibition is a joint project by Galerie Guido W. Baudach and Blank Projects.The exhibition features selected works by represented artists and invited guests, the show offers a vignette of the practices of a group of emerging and established South African artists working today. It is an attempt to weave together the work of artists from eleven distinct positions. The artists featured in the exhibition include: Igshaan Adams, Jared Ginsburg, Bronwyn Katz, Donna Kukama, Turiya Magadlela, Sabelo Mlangeni, Kyle Morland, Cinga Samson, Gerda Scheepers, Lerato Shadi and James Webb.Igshaan Adams is known for combining aspects of performance, sculpture and installation in an ongoing investigation of his own identity.Indulged in sculpture, drawing, painting, installation and video, Jared Ginsburg seeks indeterminacy or chance operations in his process, allowing him to be surprised by the results of his actions.Bronwyn Katz engages with the concept of land as a repository of memory, reflecting on the notion of place or space as lived experience, and the ability of the land to remember and communicate the memory of its occupation.Donna Kukama is a Johannesburg-based multimedia artist working in video, sound, and performance. Her work often presents itself as moments within reality that question the way in which history is narrated, as well as how value systems are constructed.Cinga Samson address themes of youth, masculinity and spirituality against the backdrop of Post-colonialism.Lerato Shadi’s artistic practice explores problematic assumptions projected onto the Black female body and how performance, video and installation can create a space to engage with those preconceived notions.Turiya Magadlela creates abstract compositions by cutting, stitching, folding and stretching these materials into various permutations.Sabelo Mlangeni documented the working-class women who clean the streets of Johannesburg by night, but who disappear from the city during the day like ghosts in black and white photographs of the Invisible Women (2006) series.Kyle Morland’s primary interests lie in forms, the systems that create them, and industrial modes of production.Gerda Scheepers explores the medium of painting. Content and formal elements of painting are remixed through cut, copy and paste with the results actively pursuing ambiguity.James Webb is an interdisciplinary artist whose work ranges from site-specific interventions in public spaces to large-scale installations in galleries and museums.The exhibition will be on view through July 21, 2018, at Galerie Guido W. Baudach, Potsdamer Straße 85, 10785 Berlin, Germany. For details visit: www.blouinartinfo.comClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition. www.blouinartinfo.com Founder: Louise Blouin
