25 July. Gabi Ngcobo at Blank
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Unwel'olude is artist and curator Gabi Ngcobo's second solo exhibition.Unwelo'olude is a Zulu saying which translates literally as "may your hair grow longer".
The hair in the saying makes reference to life. The saying is articulated as a well-wisher to someone, usually on their birthday or when they have performed an outstanding deed. It means "long live" or "viva".
The exhibition features works made of Ngcobo's own hair as well as hair sourced from her friends and family. With this exhibition past, present and future become intertwined. The work is riddled by contradictions that reveal a sense of hope and confusion.
Opens: Wednesday 25 July 6PM
Closes: 3 August
