Support some of Bloemfontein’s finest young artists by visiting the exciting Fractal Young Artist Exhibition 2009, entitled recall of collective odds in the Reservoir at Oliewenhuis Art Museum. The exhibition will be on view from Friday, 30 October 2009.
Fractal, an adhoc committee of the Friends of Oliewenhuis is a voluntary association dedicated to supporting and enhancing the activities of Oliewenhuis Art Museum.
This is the third year that the Fractal Committee is providing young, upcoming visual artists the opportunity to exhibit at Oliewenhuis Art Museum. A panel consisting of members of the Advisory Committee, the Fractal Committee and other visual art practitioners selected Angela de Jesus, (merit-award winner at the Sasol New Signatures Competition 2009), Mari-Louise du Plessis, Dot Vermeulen en Marguerite Visser to take part in the young artists’ exhibition.
The aim of the project is to give young artists the opportunity of showcasing their artwork professionally in a well-established environment and to offer them knowledge and experience in curating an exhibition.
The exhibition opens on 29 October 2009 at 19:00 and Dot Vermeulen and Mari- Louise du Plessis will present an experimental music performance. The artists will conduct a walkabout of the exhibition on 30 October 2009 at 10:00; anyone wishing to attend can contact the Museum. Artworks will be for sale. The exhibition closes on 20 November 2009.
