Opening talk by Andre Cronje, environmental journalist,
filmmaker and presenter of 50/50.
The exhibition brings together 32 invited artists who each
present one work interpreting what is an extremely difficult, thought provoking
and exciting subject matter.
In the run up to this exhibition the two galleries organized
evening sessions, In Session.End.Part 1, 2, and 3 on this subject matter in
which religious leaders, environmentalists, philosophers, physicists,
mathematicians (to name a few) were given the opportunity to give their take on
it.
The artists who have accepted the invitation to this
exhibition have had to consider and develop not only a very abstract and
technical matter but also a very personal and emotional one and are now faced
with the challenge and burden to consciously present them to the public. Each
work is displayed with the artist's statement about the work.
