Opening Reception: Thursday, January
29, from 6pm-8pm
The Walther Collection Project Space
526 West 26th Street, Suite 718
New York City
The Walther Collection presents a solo exhibition of
photographs by Santu Mofokeng, bringing together seven remarkable series of
poetic and resonant images by one of South Africa's most important
artists. Drawn exclusively from the collection, Santu Mofokeng: A Metaphorical
Biography features
selections from powerful black-and-white photographic essays exploring
landscape and social identity. Mofokeng's nuanced, slowed-down work
resists the sensational, providing an intimate vision of South African
communities, while his evocative landscapes consider memories of historical
trauma. This exhibition, on view from January 29 to May 23, 2015, spans three decades of Mofokeng's career
and includes numerous prints shown for the first time in the United States.
