CHURCH is a project space focused on experimentation, innovation and exploration within the arts. CHURCH is interested in both the artistic and the curatorial process and the dialogue and engagement around this. CHURCH provides a platform for art interventions in contrast to exhibitions and shows. There is no set programming and CHURCH will make regular announcements regarding interventions within the space.
This intervention work explores the relationship between land and Basotho culture. In this intervention, the artist interrogates these interests within the context of the South African industrial mining complex.
This exhibition investigates labour as a cultural practice. It draws parallels between the manual labour of miners and the creative labour of artists, emphasising their shared social and political functions.
It also aims to provoke discussion about labour as a tool for cultural and political world-making within the framework of capitalist modernity. Whether a miner or an artist, the conditions of their work are shaped by this system, highlighting the pervasive influence of capitalism on historical and contemporary social formation.
