FreePort [No. 008]: Candice Breitz
Internationally renowned video artist Candice Breitz explores how we create, define and perform identities in a world of mass media saturation. In her newest work, a trilogy called The Woods, Breitz delves into the cinematic culture of three epicenters of global filmmaking -- Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood -- to reflect the experiences of child actors and actors who perform childhood. With each section, shot in Los Angeles (The Audition), Mumbai (The Rehearsal) and Lagos (The Interview), The Woods cleverly splices together actor interviews to examine the movie industry's nuanced culture of aspiration and emulation.
The Woods was co-commissioned by the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Mass., and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne. Generous support provided by FreePort funders Jeffrey... - Exposition
Candice Breitz : Same Same
Curator: Gregory Burke, Director of The Power Plant

Candice Breitz: Same Same also premieres a series of new works by the artist, shot in Toronto, focused on identical twins and produced by The Power Plant, in tandem with the show.

Candice Breitz investigates media culture using the language of the entertainment industry, including pop music, television and Hollywood films. Straddling the sometimes ambiguous terrain between art, entertainment and consumerism, she edits, re-contextualizes or otherwise re-interprets familiar ele... - Exposition
Disguise - The art of attracting and deflecting attention
Michael Stevenson is pleased to present Disguise: The art of attracting and deflecting attention. The exhibition will mark the opening of the gallery's new premises in Woodstock, Cape Town, on Thursday 15 May, and the gallery's fifth birthday celebrations.
In popular culture, the archetypal disguise is Superman's pair of glasses, which turn him into Clark Kent. This particular case reveals something: often that which is disguised is hidden in plain view. Everyone familiar with the movies or comic strips has wondered, at some point, why Lois Lane does not recognise that her two love interests are one and the same.
The implications of outward appearance are amplified in the case of Africa and its diaspora because of the historical significance of skin colour. Perhaps as a result, there is a profound engagement with d... - Exposition
