Sculpture Garden
Ongoing
The Sculpture Garden at the Norval Foundation features three-dimensional installations by artists from South Africa and the rest of Africa. The unique site, bisected by a protected Cape lowland freshwater wetland and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Western Cape, features flora indigenous to the area. The placement of artwork takes the site into consideration, using the contours of the garden to hide and reveal work, creating an experience of discovery for the viewer. The building has been designed so that the western side gives way onto the Sculpture Garden at multiple points, allowing visitors access from the galleries to the Sculpture Garden and creating connections between exhibitions taking place both inside and outside. The exhibition programme in the Sculpture Garden aims to represent a plurality of practices currently taking place in the region, including artists working with the figure, narrative and mythology, abstraction and post-minimalism, and craft. Artworks will be a mixture of long term loans and work from the Homestead Art Collection, which are installed permanently.
Special thanks to all the artists and the generous support of Everard Read CIRCA Gallery, Cape Town, Johannesburg and London; Goodman Gallery, Cape Town, Johannesburg and London; Cape Town and Johannesburg; SMAC, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Stellenbosch; and WHATIFTHEWORLD, Cape Town.
