Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2023 Sections<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomorrows\/Today<\/strong> is titled In and Out of Time and is curated by independent curators Natasha Becker (San Francisco, United States) and Dr. Mariella Franzoni (Barcelona, Spain). The theme is taken from the title of a poem by Maya Angelou, about everlasting love and suffering.<\/p>\n

Tomorrows\/Today engages with the link between our bodies, minds and social settings, our experiences of time, memory, history, imagination, action and desire, exploring love, affection and suffering. This will consist of 10 booths reflecting the decade of the art fair.<\/p>\n

SOLO<\/strong> is curated by author, critic, journalist, and editor Sean O\u2019Toole (Cape Town, South Africa) and is titled Time\u2019s Pencil. It looks at the relationship between drawing and photography. This curatorial project is loosely informed by a speculation of art critic John Berger: \u201cIsn\u2019t drawing the polar opposite of a photo? The latter stops time, arrests it, whereas a drawing flows with it. Could we think of drawings as eddies on the surface of the stream of time?\u201d (What Times Is It? 2019).<\/p>\n

Past\/Modern<\/strong> is curated by art dealer and adviser Jo\u00e3o Ferreira (Lagos, Portugal), which adds historical context to the fair through gallery-curated presentations of Modern masters 1940 \u2013 2000.<\/p>\n

Continuing the focus of connoisseurship and collector motivation, galleries will show past\/modern works with the inclusion of one major contemporary work, to encourage the discourse on the influence of historical works on contemporary statements.<\/p>\n

EDITIONS<\/strong>, showcases leading galleries and workshops that specialise in prints, multiples and editions.<\/p>\n

ALT<\/strong> debuted in 2022 and is dedicated to alternative galleries with booth formats and exhibitions that reflect how technology continuously impacts the art world. Projects reflect the many ways in which the art world has had to adapt in response to the global shift from the physical to virtual. Young, non-traditional exhibitors have the opportunity to showcase their artists in a nonconventional way.<\/p>\n

The fair will once again host successful Talks programme<\/strong> curated by Executive Leader and Strategic Advisor Charlotte Ashamu, our Walkabouts<\/strong> and Gallery Night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Added to the 2023 programme is a new invite only event called Art Speed Dating<\/strong>, which is a unique networking opportunity that allows professionals in the art sector to establish connections in a fast-paced and highly interactive format! Organised in collaboration with The Art Momentum<\/strong>, participants from different areas of specialization-including the visual arts, media, cultural heritage and institutions, and other creative professions, will engage with one another across disciplines, to exchange ideas and, hopefully, initiate new cross-cultural projects.<\/p>\n
