  ‘Grammar’ a group exhibition

  Lemkus Gallery proudly presents its largest curatorial endeavor to date, ‘Grammars’. Produced in collaboration with Seth Kriger, ‘Grammars’ is centred on an exploration of language and structural violence as it pertains
  to the work of various artists of colour.
  
  Much has been said about the function of art as a kind of language, a system of visual and sensory communication formed around personal perspectives and ways of seeing (and being). Following from this, proposing that an artwork constitutes a particular grammar articulates this notion in a more nuanced manner, one that is not limited to the aesthetic qualities of contemporary art. This framing also encourages viewers to take seriously how violence shapes different registers of expression through artistic production and to not shy away from the rigor with which the participating artists assert themselves.
  
  The included artists are: Boytchie, Aaron Philander, Vusumzi Nkomo, Inga Somdyala, Thero Makepe, Alka Dass, Warren Maroon, Brook-Lynn Norkie, Thebe Phetogo, Mikhailia Petersen, Moesha Magagula, Vida Madhigi-Oghu, Mongezi Ncaphayi, and Lwandiso Botozo. The exhibition is supported by a curatorial team consisting of Jared Leite, Seth Kriger, Chiara Mzizi, and Voni Baloyi.
  
  The show will open on First Thursdays, 5 December from 6pm to 9pm at Lemkus Gallery (28 St George’s Mall, 4th Floor) until 5 February 2025.
