19 Quarter 3 Emergent Practice 1 18 – 29 June 2024 Goethe Institut Emergent Practice (EP1 and EP2) is a two-part exhibition co-hosted by the GSA and the Goethe Institut at the invitation of Dr Asma Diakité. EP1 is a comprehensive prelude to EP2, highlighting the work of Fred Swart with a focus on posters for the GSA. EP2, co-curated by GSA graduate Chinenye Chukwuka (2023), features the work of fellow recent GSA graduates, Patricia Bandora, Simphiwe Mlambo and Titus Shitaatala (2021/22 and 23), whose work reflects the ambition and diversity that characterise the transformative work of the School. The Goethe-Institut gallery is a place for practitioners to experiment and play, outside of the traditional white cube space without commercial limitations. The gallery aims to create a platform for these practitioners to explore ideas safely; with logistical, financial, and curatorial support. Artists who show work at the gallery go on to do many incredible things, and the work evolves to take on new forms and be shown at other locations. The platform offered by the gallery is intended to springboard ideas and artists to continue making necessary and relevant work beyond the Goethe-Institut.
