INVESTEC CAPE TOWN ART FAIR

In conversation with the fair’s curators, the exhibition reconciles interactive and contemporary artistic processes. ‘Unbound’, the fair’s central theme is established through a discourse on the unlimited potential of art to create and challenge realities. In response, MOVART’S proposal aims to perform as a platform for art practices that provoke imagination while also engage in sociopolitical tensions and breaks with traditional narrative and social expectations.

David Brits (Cape Town, South Africa, 1987) explores practices of object experimentation as part of a social optical challenge under the deconstruction of standardised points of view in the public sphere.

Mário Macilau (Maputo, Mozambique,1984) in his Circle of Memories series, presents his approach under the concept of resilience. It is all determined by a choreographic resource of memory, which concentrates a work focused on children and women, deconstructed of exoticisms typical of the urban visual in art, but violent, like history, where a certain sense of resistance emerges between abandonment and degradation.

Kay-Leigh Fisher (Johannesburg, South Africa, 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist who explores diverse media, techniques and styles. In ‘The Nature of Nature’ and other paintings from 2023that we selected for ICTAF, Fisher demonstrates her intuition for storytelling and explores inclusive and inclusive ways of representing the self.

Keyezua (Luanda, Angola, 1988),a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is materialised in configurations and dilemmas, presents us with intense and varied languages that confront contemporary narratives. Her work explores the aesthetics of migratory crises in current contextsin the means of a transmedia narrative that works through hyper-text.
